Interested in sharing photos of Bike Florida 2008?

What are people's thoughts about sharing photos after the ride? I think it'd be cool to be able to see other people's photos after we're done. Maybe we could post links to our photosharing websites (photobucket.com, snapfish.com, etc) on the message board. Or is there a way to create a new site where anyone from the ride could upload photos for others to see? What are everyone's ideas? Thanks. -Sarah Meyer
