2 months till trip start

Dear friends and family,

As our first deadline approaches ($2000 by tomorrow!) I am blown away by the generosity and support we are receiving. Yesterday I raffled off three homemade pies in the school of Architecture and raised more than $120! I've also had some very generous and talented friends donating their time and expertise by selling their own baked goods (thank you Michelle and Christina!) and artwork (thank you Chuck!) on my behalf.

Here in Blacksburg we have two upcoming fundraisers: a restaurant night on April 23 at Bogen's Steakhouse (be sure to check them out if you are in Blacksburg, they are extremely supportive of the local community), where 20% of proceeds will be split between myself and Jen Dvorsky , a rider on the Central US trip, and a Road Rally/Bicycle Scavenger hunt which is being planned by some more generous and talented friends, Nick, Jake and Nathan.

This outpouring of support is truly amazing, I would not be able to do this on my own! Thank you everyone who has contributed money, time, or talent, and please call on me in your future endeavors...I will help in any way I can!

Love,
Jodi

Oh Happy Day!

Dear Bike & Build participant (That's me!),

Thank you for participating in the Bike & Build program. We have made the size choice for your bike based on the information you have provided us with. At this time, we have ordered you the Defy 2 in a small (I have short legs). Order time is 5-10 business days but do vary. Once your bike is built, tested, re-boxed, and is shipped UPS will forward you a tracking number to the email provided. Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have. Once again, thank you for your participation.
