PALM Applications Mailed

The PALM applications for 2007 were mailed out on Sunday January 21 from the Redford 24 hour post office. You should start receiving them today. If you haven't gotten an application by next Monday, email PALM to have one sent to you. You can also go to the web site and download the application in PDF format.

Last year the ride filled on April 11 and we mailed back the applications for more than 100 riders. This year we have been contacted by several groups about participating in the ride. One of them has ridden with us in the past has over 30 riders. Try to signup early if you can.

I sent in my application today. The way I look at it, I'm buying summer and I would gladly pay more that the registration and meals for summer right now. Just to be able to see the sky and not the bottom of clouds! By the time the ride comes around, the check has cleared so long ago that the ride is free. (This same logic works for baseball tickets. Try it.)

Large Groups: Please don't wait until every last straggler has given you his/her check before you send in your applications. You may not make it in time and there is no way we can register a block of riders after we've reached our limit. The schools this year are smaller (and older) than last year and there really is no room. Your group will be disappointed and not be very happy with us. A straggler can be put on a waiting list and could make it on the ride anyway.
