Sir:
This is to formally advise you of the date of this years
bicycle race in Coconut Grove, and to request your assistance
in submitting this date(s) before the City Commission for
formal approval.
The date of the main event in Sunday, October 8, 1978.
In addition, we intend to attempt to break the existing
national record for the one -mile Time Trial event (which was
set in 1914). This will occur between 10:00 A.I. and 12:00
noon on South Miami Avenue on the Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday (Oct. 4,5,6) prior to the main event.
We feel that this effort will:
a) generate substantial media coverage, both local and
and national, that will accrue well to the City of
Miami, and Coconut Grovel
b) generate much wider participation from nationally
ranked top caliber riders.
We have co-ordinated these dates and locations with Lieutenant
Herb Altman of Point Control of the City of Miami Police
Department.
We also request the assistance of the City of Miami Surveyor -
Public Works Dept. - to survey the one mile course for us.
