The rumor I want to start is “The STP sold out early due to the STP Project.” Like most rumors it rarely is true such as “Paris Hilton is not an alien” or “Michael Jackson really is Diana Ross.”

What will happen due to the race being sold out? Some people will ‘poach’ the ride. Poaching means going on the organized ride, race, run, or walk and not paying the entry fee. I can say I have never done it and don’t understand someone who does. Why is it wrong? 1) Many events are put on to support a worthy cause i.e. cure for cancer, children’s hospital, or AIDS 2) To pay for at least part of the ride, the cost of the event is rarely covered completely by the fee. 3)It is disrespectful to those riding the event or putting it on. It is disrespectful to those riding the event or putting it on. Most of us are going to pay our own way; when you get the impulse to say “Forget it,” don’t listen to it.
