Tomorrow's Ride-a-Thon event does not have an explanation when you move the cursor over it on the calendar. I know how the Ride-a-Thon works as I have participated before. The prizes are either a chair or a tee shirt. I am really interested in the tee shirt - does anyone have any information about the shirt? I know some Dis'ers are friends with hosts and developers (I am not) so I didn't know if anyone had the scoop. I am guessing that we will get a coupon for the shirt and have to redeem it in the park. Thoughts?

Edit: I just spoke to Bella in Break the Ice and she said tomorrow's event is much like the iPod contest - only about ONE person an HOUR will win the shirt. I am so bummed. It's not like they have the same value as the iPod - it's just a shirt! I would much rather have a shirt than Inferno - I guess I will have to ride as much as possible.
 
Like you said before, they could give us all coupons for the shirt that most of us won't be able to redeem, or they could do like they did when they gave away the nano, like give one away every hour. :confused3

Actually it does not explain even if you will win the chair or the shirt every time you ride as it did with the ice and snow rugs. It could work that way or it could be a random thing. Maybe every 50th rider will get the shirt, or chair. It is very vague in the description on how it will work so who knows!
 
i will be riding the ride a couple of times and like you said, i am also interested in the shirt. i think they will do the same drawing as in the nano contest. i might be wrong but i suppose so.
 

did Bella mention if we would get a chair every time we ride like the ice and track??

WOuldnt it be amusing if you did get a chair every ride, but the rides were 50 rooms long...

And then everyone would dc before making it through the entire ride :p Thank god for multi-tasking during the ride-a-thons!
 
I only want a few chairs...and I dont have a lot of time tomorrow (2 birthday partys and a Brownie outting, amoung other things) so with my luck it will be a 50 room ride a thon! LOL
 
I don't think we win the chair or the shirt just for riding. Maybe we get credits? Too bad they didn't award the shirt for the Everest Ride competition. I didn't compete, but it seems like a more fitting prize for the work, time, and credits involved.

I think that we'll win the chair just for riding. That's the way it was with the snow carpets and the ice chairs.
