I am very happy to say that after too much time and some procrastination the 2010 Wicked Philanthropy jersey design is finally available. They should be arriving just in time for all EIGHT of us to wear them for The Prouty and we’ll certainly be wearing them on our “C2C” later this summer.

The jerseys are available to everyone for a limited time at $75 (+S&H). Please email Matt (Matt@WickedPhilanthropy.org) with your size preference to be included with the next order.

Special thanks to Wicked Good Cookies, Wicked Joe, Ben & Jerry’s, Walcott Corporation, and Gu Energy for helping our team!

It should go without saying that we’re looking for volunteers.  We’re looking for help with everything from finalizing the “C2C” route, to networking for sponsorship, to proposals on what we should apply our funds to.

The dates are selected: we’re departing from Concord on Friday, July 30, 2010. (Wow, that sounds futuristic.)

Here’s how I hope to time everything: Depart from Concord on Friday afternoon. We’ll have a support crew meet us in Kennebunkport, ME. on Friday evening. Saturday, we’ll get an early start on our way to Camden. The support crew will get a late start so they can pass us around the halfway mark. They’ll spend the balance of the day in Camden, ME. where we’ll spend our 2nd night.  Sunday we’ll repeat the process but have a shorter ride, 80 miles (caveat: ending with a climb up Cadillac Mtn, the first place in the United States to see the sun rise).  The total ride time should be about 6 hours per day, depending on how lost we get.

Post-ride we’ll take a few days to relax in Bar Harbor before heading back to South Bristol, Maine to finish off the week.

I’m hoping to find some sponsors to help with the cost of lodging en route, food and bike supplies.  My goal is 4 riders making the complete journey.  So far it sounds like it will be TMG and I.  Two down, two to go…

More details on the ride can be found on the “c2c” page: http://www.wickedphilanthropy.org/wordpress/c2c/

Here it is, the first draft of the summer 2010 Concord, MA. to Cadillac Mtn in Bar Harbor, Maine route. Some roads need some refining (namely the southern parts of Rt. 1) but the mileage and stopping points should be roughly accurate.
