[Stephan Vance]

A coworker asked me to pass along this opportunity to support a community
social service group and have the unique experience of testing your riding
position in a wind tunnel.

The Bayside  <http://www.baysidecc.org/> Community Center is hosting a gala
fundraiser to celebrate its 75 years of providing critical social services
to the Linda Vista community of Bayside. As part of the gala they are doing
an online auction beginning November 11 and ending the night of the gala,
November 17.
 
Bayside received a fantastic donation from the San Diego Air & Space
Technology Center for the Bayside Online
<http://www.baysidecc.org/75gala/index.html>  Auction. As this is a very
specialized item I thought that you might be able to get the word out about
this great opportunity.

Bidding Opens November 11 at Bayside Auction Site

Wind Tunnel Experience

Have you ever wondered how much time you are giving up on your bike due to
aerodynamics? Are you putting in hours of training that is being undermined
by a poor position on the bike? There's only one way to find out for sure,
and that is by getting the "Ultimate bike Fit" at the San Diego Air & Space
Technology Center Low Speed Wind tunnel. The engineers at the wind tunnel
have experience testing over 200 cyclists including Tour de France champion,
Lance Armstrong as well as numerous Ironman World Champions and they will
put this experience to work for you.

The auction winner will spend one hour in the wind tunnel optimizing his or
her cycling position to product the minimum amount of drag without
sacrificing power output. In addition the winner can invite up to 19 guests
to observe the testing and get a tour of the facility.
 
Upon completion of the test, the winner will receive two DVDs featuring the
entire ride in the tunnel, including multiple viewing angles and coaching
commentary. In addition, a photo CD will be provided to document every
position and equipment change that was done during the test. Upon completion
of the test, a data sheet will be provided that gives all values from each
test point taken.

A gourmet box lunch will be provided for the winner and 19 guests following
the test session.

Value: $1,600
 
Restrictions/Other
 
The San Diego Air & Space Technology Center low speed wind tunnel is located
at 3050 Pacific Highway, San Diego, CA 92101.  Visit our website:
www.lswt.com 

The wind tunnel test, tour and lunch package is subject to availability and
must be pre scheduled. The low speed wind tunnel is a functioning business
which provides testing to many corporations and individuals.

Because the building is older and is not normally accessed by the public,
the test location on the second floor is accessible by some, but not
necessarily by all handicapped guests.
