This is where we'll keep a log
of the news as it happens:
September 22, 2005: Back to our Roots
Well, after 15 months and $30,000 invested by founder Jamie
Bianchini, we decided that we are going to cease operations
of the One World Odyssey project indefinitely. The budget
for the project is at least $500,000 and we simply were not
getting the positive response we were hoping to get from sponsors
and donors. Our only choice is to put the concept up for licensing
and move on with our roots of Peace Pedaling.
Many of the same concepts of the One World Odyssey will be
present in the next stage of Peace Pedalers (www.peacepedalers.org).
We will have more bikes, surf boards and boogie boards, more
filming and documentation, more media efforts, and visits
with schools and community organizations. But it will all
be toned down and with a more manageable budget that can be
funded with personal funds of founder and a small group of
existing sponsors helping with gear and services.
So if you know anyone who wants to take a great concept and
take it out to market, find an event management company, big
corporate sponsors, and run a cool event, do let us know.
Until then, check us out at www.peacepedalers.org.
See ya on the road!
