We have given Scott Campbell first dibs on this opportunity, but it needs to be out there in the event that he (and maybe his partner Pam Slocum) cannot find a way to make it happen:<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
After fleshing out a coast-to-coast route with a decade and a half of national Mayors’ Rides<\/a>,\u00a0we are now turning our attention to getting the route that has resulted known about.\u00a0Instead of Mayors’ Ride campaigns,\u00a0we are finally ready for cyclists to start riding what we have created.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Unlike in years past where we have needed our riders to be at certain City Halls at specific times on certain dates (Scott Campbell’s<\/a> amazing ride detailed in this video<\/a>,\u00a0for example)<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
required a lot of time and coordination on \u00a0our part) you can go at your own pace. All we ask is that you use the roads and paths from San Francisco to Washington, DC \u00a0at\u00a0BikeRoute.com<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
Toward that end, \u00a0you will be expected to pay your own expenses. However, you will get a free room<\/strong> night<\/strong> in the hotel that anchors any one of the 12\u00a0NBG Biking Cities\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>outside of the SF Bay Area that\u00a0<\/strong>you are rolling through (in some cases, however, an alternate hotel in the same city may be required). In terms of other compensation, \u00a0we will blog your ride with photos you take and any reports you may want to file with us. Since we won’t be busy coordinating with the Mayors along your way (proclamation creation, approval and presentation ceremonies, etc), we can also do a weekly podcast show where we will discuss your ride.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Talk about a keepsake for posterity, more than helping us make the NBG real, the web presence you will get for this can be used in a resume to help you get a job, impress a potential partner, or just to have as a link in your dot sig for bragging rights.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
If interested\u00a0NBG @ BikeRoute.com (less the spaces).
