Very interesting. Can you give us some examples of the stops?

Well with the 21 age limit I'm guessing biker bars.

Business establishment stops you are required to either make a purchase for a time/date stamped receipt or pick up a business card or brochure. Parks/Passes/Monuments

ok.. parks, passes, and monuments on the way to biker bars.

I noticed that too, but the stops can't all be gay bars, I mean "biker" bars, right?

Examples of stops:
Buena Vista - Bongo Billy's Cafe
Denver - Comfort Cafe
Estes Park - St Malo Statue & Rocky Mountain National Park
Wetmore - Bishop's Castle
Crested Butte - Entrance Park
Gateway - Gateway Auto Museum
Rifle - Rifle Falls
Burlington - Kit Carson County Carousel
Denver - Mickey's Steak House
Aurora - The Frontier Club
Pueblo - MRA race
That is just a few of the stops. Yes the books will be available for sale at the Swap Meet at the ABATE/MRA booth. They will be for sale at most ABATE events until May 31st. All of the bars on the Tour allow under 21 until 9 PM. Yes, there are several bars as stops and not to attract the Harley riders, they were the most interested in purchasing a sponsorship. Most of the bars are bar-restaurants. I think there are only maybe 4 that aren't. That info is included in the legend inside the book. Age restrictions are in place due to insurance reasons. Since this is the first year doing this Tour, it was a hard sell for sponsorships. Bars are the easiest to obtain sponsorships and they are motorcyclist friendly. No one says you have to drink, they all sell coffee and soda pop as well. The sponsorships are our prize money. We have worked really hard to get awaqy from poker runs and such at bars, but many times they are the only places that welcome us. This is our first year doing this, it may not be perfect, but we will learn for next year what to change. I think I have answered the questions presented here. If I can answer any other questions, please let me know.

Thanks, Terry. If I'm racing in Pueblo, I'm assuming that would count, correct?

[THoward]

It sure will. Spectator or Racer counts.
