Biking across America for Alzheimers site.

Hey ya'll. My friend and I are biking across america and intend to raise a large sum of money while doing so for alzheimers research. I am making a website to inform everyone about it, a place where I can answer everyones questions just by giving them a web address.

My only question, what should the domain name be?

I'm looking for something more subtle; relative of course, but not obvious at all until you get into the site. I'm going to utilize guerilla advertising to generate hits which will probably consist of nothing more than the address being displayed places, so I need something that makes people curious.

Nothing too cliche, too cute, etc.

Thanks alot.

Hey Jon!

I cant come up with something right off the top of my head right now.

There is a way I can help you though; I'm willing to do the graphic designing work for the site, for free, since it's a GREAT cause. I can do the logo and banner, etc.

Let me know !

all of those are fine, I guess, but for now what I'm trying to stay away from. Too direct. The only problem with umIforget.com is it comes across as a little disrespectful to a devastating disease. Thanks for your responses thusfar.

Hehe, I was just kidding..

Anyway, you're better off with a direct domain because it requires less branding. You want people to be able to find the site so keywords are important...

What prompted you to choose biking? Perhaps you can get others to join in as well...

A couple years ago, I'd planned to hike the Appalachian Trail for anxiety / depression issues and still may, but health issues have sidelined me temporarily.

I made those at like 1 a.m. so direct was the thought process then as creative goes out the door around 12 or so. I would recommend using godaddy and typing in a word and then clicking more suggestions link which will give you more ideas. You could also try whois.sc and their domain explorer for more ideas.
