The fuel we receive from you.

Like most campaigns of this style, there is a business side with regards to sponsorship and help from organizations. The other side, of people’s selfless assistance, is becoming clearer each day.
The messages, vibes, and in today’s case an actual package, are giving us an incredible amount of motivation to keep pushing towards May 20th, the start of our ride. We have yet to begin, and I already get chills from the thought of your collective support.
Thank you.
Thank you to everyone who has even smiled when we talk about the ride. We know this is a small reflection of how important you will be to us when we are pushing 500 miles a week.
More fuel than he thinks…
Sometimes things happen early in the morning that give you enough energy to go through the day. Today, we received a package from Keith Liberto. A tiny orchestra started playing in my brain and the support from ‘normal folk’ is becoming clearer.
Keith said after RgR thanked him:
“I’m member of MetaFilter and a road cyclist…saw y’all’s details, and just wanted to give back, since I can’t commute to work like I wish.”
He then asked for a small link to his Twitter account. Here you go, boss, you fantastic person: @fijiwriter
Lunch sponsors start coming in…
In the beginning of our planning stage, people asked how they could help on a micro level. Many asked if they could feed us. We set up lunch sponsors so that everyday people can sponsor a meal for us. In return they will be that day’s post sponsor.
With every new donation, a new box of fuel arrives for both of us. We sincerely thank you.
If you are interested in helping us with lunch for one of our 75 days on the road, please visit our Lunch Sponsors section. Each day is $30 and goes straight to fuel for the road.
