What's your Ultimate Cycling Dream Prize?

    I’m a cycling fan who works in the marketing industry. Fortunately I get to work on a cycling sweepstakes for a TDF-sponsor client. In the past we have given away some pretty cool prizes—trips to TDF and other major tours, high-end Felt and Trek bikes, fantasy trips to meet Lance, etc. I’m trying to figure out what other cycling fans would want as your ultimate cycling dream prize. Any ideas?

    Hanging out at the training camp of one of the pro teams, somewhere sunny. Going on a recovery spin with some of the team, followed by a pro massage. Heading home with some Zipps that fell out the back of the team truck.

    That sort of thing.

    Spending a night with one of the ladies that present the end of stage bouquets to the winners. That sort of thing?

    Probably something like a fully supported trip around the planet.

    I'm sure we could rustle up some excellent publicity for any organisation wishing to sponsor the official Boards 10m TT (if we ever get round to organising it). An all expenses trip to the Champs Elysee for the final stage of the TdF plus one of those top-end Felts or Treks as a first prize would not go amiss:)

    First thing I thought of.

    The next 200,000 runners up would get a pirelli-style calanedar of the podium girls naked and getting it on with eachother.
