SEEKING RIDERS FOR INTERNATIONAL RACE IN BRAZIL

Well.. the surFnick is at it again. I’ve got a race lined up in Goias, Brazil in May. The logistics are: - Race: 6ª Volta Ciclistica Do Estado De Goias - Date: May 10th – 14th - Location: Caldas Novas, Brazil - Length: 5 stages, 600km (2 circuit races, 3 road races) As far as accommodations go, everything (food, transportation, lodging, etc) is taken care of with the EXCEPTION of airfare and your visa. I’m working on trying to get a sponsor to pay the airfare, which is about $900. But as of now.. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE AIRFARE. The Tourist Visa is obtained from the Brazil Consulate General of Houston for about $100. The race is held in Caldas Novas, Brazil which is well known in Brazil as a “hot” spot. The city is loaded with therapeutic hot springs that reach 100 degrees. I’ve been told that it’s better than the beaches in Rio ; ) I’m looking for 4 riders and 1 support person. The riders are expected to be in excellent condition and be ready to gear up to get down when it’s game time. The terrain is hilly and the climate will be warm. The competition will be similar to a NRC race in the states. The top teams in Brazil are very well supported and take the racing very seriously. Some of the race will be televised live on TV Globo which can be seen in 60 different countries, including the US. The travel dates will likely be May 7th – 16th. This gives us a little time to relax after the race and take in the Brazilian culture. I’d like to have the team finalized March 1st so we can get a good deal on the plane tickets. If you’re interested in going, please send me an email at surfernick@comcast.net and I’ll reply as fast as I can. I need to have a team named by March 24th. -out surFnick
