No, the title isn’t a misspelling, which I am known for.  It is actually a name for a nine-day mythical “tour” that you take part in using your trainer or a stationary bicycle.  I was told of this by some friends that are working with the Davis Phinney Foundation and the proceeds for the event go to Davis’ organization.

Davis’ son, Taylor is the official starter for the event and if you donate money to participate, you will be eligible for prizes which include a BMC road bike and other things.

I’ve known Davis, Connie and Taylor for a long time, most of my life. Super good people.  If you are going to be trainer bound this next week some, then go ahead and participate some in their event.   It is up to you to decide if you want to give and how much.

Here’s a link to the participants page.  And the link below to donate.

HERE’S HOW THIS WORKS: 1. GIVE NOW: To be eligible for any ToS prizes, you must make a donation of at least $10 USD to the Davis Phinney Foundation HERE (or click the Give Now button) and make a donation. If you don’t donate, you can still do the ToS, but you won’t be eligible for prizes. If you don’t do the ToS, you can still donate to be entered to win! 2. The more generous you are, the better your odds of winning — for every $10 you donate, you get 1 chance at winning. So if you donate $10, you get one chance. If you donate $50, you get 5 chances. $100 gets you 10 chances and so on. Get your friends to donate (click the “Fundraise Here” button to set up your donation collection page) to your cause and you’ll really boost the number of chances you have in the ToS prize draw! You can continue to donate all the way up until the very end of the ToS. 3. Based on all donations made up to the end of the ToS, we will calculate the number of chances each rider has earned. The Sufferfest minions will draw from all chances and then announce said winners on a date TBD. One prize per person, no exchanges. See disclaimer below.
