A number of charitable organizations offer programs where you can train and compete for a cause.
Do your non-cycling friends think you’re overly ambitious (or insane) when you tell them you’re going to ride 100 miles in a day?
In response to continued
interest from Colorado residents, Colorado Ski Country USA (CSCUSA) is
organizing an initiative to offer drivers a ski themed license plate for
vehicles registered in Colorado.
Colorado had a ski plate
in 1958 but has not had one in 49 years. “We’re working with the state and hope
that Coloradans will again have the option to have a ski themed license plate,”
explains Rob Perlman, president and CEO of Colorado Ski Country USA. “It makes
sense for Colorado to have a ski plate because skiing and snowboarding are an
integral part of Colorado’s culture, heritage and economy; and because Colorado
offers the best skiing and riding in the world.”
In asking the state for a ski license plate, CSCUSA must submit an application that includes a list of 3,000 names of individuals interested in a ski plate, to the Colorado Department of Revenue (DOR.) The signatures on the list must be people with a valid Colorado address.
People interested in
supporting the ski license plate can add their name to the list of interested
parties by visiting www.ColoradoSkiPlate.com and including their full name, complete address,
county and number of sets of license plates they would potentially be
interested in purchasing.
The final look of the plate is yet to be determined. CSCUSA will submit the prototype shown below for the design, however, it may not be the final design as the DOR retains discretion on the ultimate look of the plate.
Adding a signature to the list means the individual is showing an interest in a ski license plate, it does not mean a commitment is being made to purchase a plate. When the plate is made available, the cost is a one-time extra charge in addition to the normal vehicle registration fee. Currently the extra charge for special plates is $50.00. The ski plate could be available as early as 2009.
