i need your advice, expertise, and support
so i had the craziest idea after reading "a walk in the woods" and an article in "fort collins weekly" about a guy who gave himself thirty days to make his one hundred dollars into one million dollars. he created a kitchen swiss army knife tool that is a few contracts away from making one million dollars. he has until july sixteenth.
so what's my idea? well, i don't think (although it might be nice) that it will make one million dollars, but a few bucks would be helpful.
my idea: since i am building up a one speed crusier, i wondered how i could do three things i constantly want to do:
1. excercise
2. have an adventure
3. make money
how do i do these three things? ride my (one speed cruiser) bike from fort collins, colorado to lynchburg, virginia where i go to college. how in the heck am i going to do this?
believe me, it will be a hard feat especially since school starts in about five weeks from today. i need to get my bike ready, sponsors, and fine tune the plans.
sponsors: i was thinking of having two sponsors, grand sponsors and journey sponsors. (names subject to change) grand sponsors pledge to give me one dollar per mile ONLY after i finish. journey sponsors pledge ten, twenty, one hundred dollars or whatever for a certain leg of the journey (ten, twenty, one hundred miles or whatever respectively). i would like to set up a blog or website documenting my journey, as well as, video tape the journey and make a documentary of it. i don't have a video camera though. i would camp along the way, unless people take me in for the night.
like i said, i need to fine tune the details and work on sponsors quickly. i just have ideas of doing local bike, food, and beverage businesses around fort collins, but i don't know how to go about contacting/presenting to them. if you have any advice, i'll need your help. what do you think?

Great idea. Starting trianing hardcore asap. Single speed will make for an eventufl journey, and are you going to UPS your stuff to school? I think if you had more time you could make it more profitable. Have some extra riding shorts in case yours rips.
