2008 World Record Attempt - Re-Break the Record!

Location: Aggie Stadium (at the corner of La Rue and Hutchinson)
MEET AT 3pm to Check-In, leave by 4!

MEET AT AGGIE STADIUM
Sweet victory and bitter defeat occurred in 2007 for the bicycle
enthusiast in the City of Davis. On March 3, 2007 the UC Davis  Aggie Pack
with help from the City of Davis orchestrated a successful attempt to
break the world record for Largest Bicycle Parade. With an official count
of 822 bikes, the previous record of 641 bikes was broken. Unfortunately
by the time Aggie Pack organizers received the Guinness Certificate of
Authentication the record was already broken by Taipei City, Taiwan with
1,901 bicyclists.

On Saturday, March 1 2008, before the Causeway Classic Men's Basketball
game against Sac State, we want Davis Bicycles! to come out and join the
Aggie Pack in breaking the world record AGAIN for "World's Largest Bicycle
Parade!" This year, the Aggie Pack is more organized, will have more free
stuff, and more festivities for all participants, including FREE ADMISSION
to the basketball game following. Spread the word as we are shooting for
5,000 bikes this time around!! Bring your bike (see rules below) and
yourself to Aggie Stadium before 3pm.

Rules for the Event
The rules as established by Guinness are simple:
	o All participants must be riding a bicycle, which is defined as a two
wheeled vehicle powered by only pedaling (sorry no training wheels,
unicycles, etc.)
	o All Bicycles must travel minimum two mile route and all bicycles must
cross the start line (at Aggie Stadium ) and the finish line (also near
the Pavilion).
	o There should be no significant gaps in the parade and also bikes should
not be clumped in large groups.

The Guinness World Records website at
http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/records/travel_and_transport/bikes_and_motorbikes/largest_parade_of_bicycles.aspx
lists the current record.
