this may be a long shot, but I feel like it is worth a shot. my local piggly wiggly sponsored bicycle racing team is hosting a 3 stage race on the gravel roads in the francis marion forest. Friday evening is a 5 mile prologue followed by 75 miles on Saturday and 75 more on sunday. we have high hopes for 100-200 racers participating in the “hellhole gravel grind”. this type of racing is picking up across the country because of the challenge involved and the ability to almost completely avoid riding on paved roads which are admittedly dangerous in the lowcountry.
now to my request. in the interest of safety we need the use of 2 atv’s or 4 wheelers for the last weekend of September. being a first year event our funds are limited and I have a $250 budget for rental/compensation. the funds are my own that i’m putting forward to the success of the event. I am a local business owner for 20 years in Charleston. I will take full responsibility for the machines and will return them in the same condition as received.
if anyone can help us with this or can lead me in the right direction, I would appreciate it greatly. message me on this forum or answer this thread and we can talk.
thanks. mike
