The Historical 9% Grand Tour

(UNDER CONSTRUCTION)

The Historical 9% Grand Tour begins April 1st 2007 and runs through November 31st 2007. This tour is not limited to women riders, rather it is a Grand Tour highlighting the contributions, strength and value women have given to American history. Some sites contain great historical value and some are just for fun. Some sites will have a Trivia question that must be answered as well as providing a picture.

Participants

• Each participant accumulating 40 or more points will receive a certificate of completion

• The participant with the most points will win the grand prize (Prizes still being determined)

Rules for the Tour

• Each person may have only one entry.

• You must submit a photo of each site you visited. Digitals will be accepted.
