$$$$$ Fund Raising Update $$$$$

Now that the hard weeks of training and racing that built up to our early season fitness peaks and major race goals are behind us…it’s come time for us to re-focus our energy on our funds search and shift it into high gear.

**We only have a month left until our departure for Belgium.** Can you believe it?

Our plane travel has been secured, but not entirely paid for. We’ve got some money for meals, but not enough, and we’re still working on acquiring some of the specialized equipment such as the wheel sets and tires that will be required when riding and racing on Belgian cobblestones. So, while the many generous contributions from our friends and family have helped our Race to Belgium really begin to take flight--there’s still a lot of ocean left to soar over. ☺

What’s next?

We’ll be hitting up the e-mails again so look out, we’ll be wallpapering our neighborhood bike shops with RTB flyers, and if worse comes to worse--we’ll be hitting the streets covered in spots and wielding picket signs that spread the word to anyone that passes by. ☺

We’re really getting excited about seeing this all come to fruition.
