We want to acknowledge some folks who are offering support for our RAW effort.
First - Adventures' Edge is a great local bike and outdoor shop. They stock a good supply of bike paraphernalia - enough that it's an occasional lunchtime destination for me, just to make sure that I'm not missing something. They also stock Skratch nutrition, stroopwafels, Yakima racks, and have a great service department. AE gives a lot back to the community in general. They are a major sponsor of the Tour of the Unknown Coast - arguably the toughest century on the planet - and Humboldt Tri-kids. And lots of other stuff. Jennifer Johnson - owner of the shop - has even volunteered to be on our crew. How many bike shop owners are willing to take a week off in June to help out a couple of locals who are tackling a big race?

Second - Sports fans, we've got us a GRANOLA SPONSOR! Not just any ol' granola sponsor, though - an ARCATA granola sponsor. Arcata is hippie heaven, and if you're going to put yourself out as making amazing granola in Arcata, with a recipe that was handed down to you by a folk singer, no less, it'd better be good. It's actually not just good - it's RAEL good. Oooh- did I spell that wrong? Nope. Dennis Rael is the owner of Los Bagels - another Arcata fixture. He's providing granola and treats for the adventure. He just rode up to us on a sunny Sunday morning ride and asked what he could do to help with our RAW. Bam - just like that, we're hooked up.
BTW, if you ever get a chance to try some of daughter Trula's truffles, they're RAEL good, too.

This is what I love about Arcata - there's an amazing, vibrant community of folks who keep track of each other and help out.
