Once again the only way to get a PALM application for 2013 will be to download it from the PALM website. Opps, I mean websites: the application will be on both the old website www.lmb.org/palm and the new website www.palmbiketour.org. The application will be posted on both sites on Sunday January 13 by 12:00 noon.
We are doing this so that everybody will have access to the PALM application at the same time no matter where they live. Mailing them first class didn't come close to achieving this.
Last year, PALM filled in two days. The year before PALM filled in four days. We use the postmark on the envelope, not the day we receive the application, to determine the cutoff. You don't have to spend the money to mail your application by priority mail: 1st class mail will work just as well no matter how many days it takes us to actually receive it. We are posting the application on Sunday to give you a whole day to download and fill out your applications before the post offices open.
The best way to get the earliest postmark possible is to go to an actual post office and ask the clerk there to postmark or round date the envelope as you mail it first class.
Best of luck to everyone who wants to be on PALM this year. Be sure to let everyone you know that is interested in PALM that the application will be on the PALM websites on Sunday January 13 by 12:00 noon too.
