Our most sincere thanks goes out to our corporate sponsors for their magnanimous donations and discounts, which significantly lessened the financial burden of the trip.
The bars and shot gels from Clif Bar & Company provided us with the quick and hearty breakfasts our bodies commanded and the mid-day energy bursts required to survive the long days on the road. Additionally, the inspirational “Clif Stories” on the wrappers from founder Gary gave us relevant motivation to push through our forthcoming climbs.
The helmet and gloves from Giro gave us the protection, comfort, and style needed to cycle great distances.
The versatile and durable Buck Knife allowed us to cut anything – rope, vegetables, meat, excessive packaging – while also providing peace of mind from a protection standpoint when camping in the woods.
Our hefty supply of Five Hour Energy gave us the pick-me-up we needed at times throughout the day while never causing us to crash.
Again, we are forever grateful for the generosity of these organizations and hope that our readership considers them when in the market for these types of products.
