Ultra Riders Overdose on Fructose!

I've been a busy bee and started an organised plan to minimise individual costs to those who participate in the endurance events for the team. I'm in the process of sending begging letters to subsidise the following areas of the challenges.

• Nutrition and hydration
• Team Clothing
• Raffle prizes
• Race related items (shoes, socks, shorts, bike accessories and perishables)
• Race fees
• Advertising donation
• Charity donations

Today I've picked off all the leading brands of nutrition suppliers and hopefully at least one will take pity on us and bung a few gels, bars or drinks our way. Here's today's nutrition hit list.

ZipVits, Shotz, Go SiS, High5, Power Bar, NUUN, Clif Bar, Squashy Sports, GU, Mule Bar, Hammer, Crank Sports and Lucosade! . . .if we get something from them all, we'll be well sorted!

So we're slowly hitting the places that need to be hit and the lads will all hammer things from their ends as well. We've also got Paul Godley of Godley's cycles on side who is willing to support in whatever way he can and will look to sorting us out with some bits and bobs and possibly a raffle prize! But more importantly, he's a guy who's done this stuff before, lead and organised events and knows people who know people . . a very useful geezer to know! Think that deserves his company logo on the blog and web for definate. Plus he sorted me out with an awesome new Orbea Onix for an unbelievable price! I'll post a picture of that soon as well lol!
