- Try college and/or high school track and cross country coaches,
- running shops that sponsor races, TAC or whoever, the highway
- patrol, highway department.
-
- Also, you can get the bike mileage meter at any bike shop in the
- world. They have s a certain acccuracy problem though, depending
- on where on the wheel you put the meter-reader. If you're laying
- out a race for certification, bet the wheel-thingy you puch.
-
- Also, try a surveyer. they have some of that stuff.

- Good luch,
