Support the cause! If 100,000 people follow 42Ride, 42BELOW will donate 42k to the Alliance for Biking and Walking

According to Justin Frumkes, mile high kiwi correspondent:
“We have 42 riders biking from NY to LA this summer, and 21 of them are stopping in Denver on Sunday July 26, 2009. We have just recently added a local ride to help support not only the 21 riders, but also to generate buzz about the Alliance for Biking and Walking. If we can get 100,000 followers on twitter.com/welikebike42, we will donate $42,000 to the Alliance.

We are recruiting as many people as possible to join us on Sunday, July 26 at 12pm/noon to bike out 21 miles to greet the incoming riders and escort them 21 miles back to BETA Nightclub, where we will host a Sunday Funday event. Each rider who signs up, upon registration, will receive a custom 42BELOW Biking Jersey, T-Shirt, Cap and wristband for a complimentary 42BELOW cocktail. We are not looking for financial contribution, but merely as many people who want to ride on our 42-mile loop for our incoming riders.
