Work begins on Tour de Stooges

The 2006 edition of the Tour de Stooges is more than six months away -- May 6 at McKendree College in Lebanon, Ill. -- but the work already has begun on the ride.

Yesterday, I spent the day writing the article about the ride for the January-February-March edition of the Gateway, the newsletter of the Gateway Council of Hostelling International. That also meant I had to try to nail down a few details for the ride.

One of the details we had to nail down was the price of the ride. Because of increasing costs of operating programs on the Gateway Council, we had to increase the cost of the ride.

But to encourage pre-registration for the ride, we are offering discounts. If you sign up before the day of the ride, you'll be able to save up to $5 on the cost of the ride. And if you register by April 1, you can get a $5 discount on your T-shirt and insure you'll get it the day of the ride. After April 1, the shirts will be $22.50 and there is a possibility we'll have to mail the shirt to you after the ride.

We expect to open registration for the event in January, and we hope to have more news to tell you then.
