Here’s the first version of our 2010 training shirt. I expect our cycling kits will look similar but this will give you a feel of what we’re looking to do. I expect we will have 3 articles of team clothing, a training t-shirt (pictured here), and a cycling jersey and shorts (examples to follow). I will continue to post updates as we gain additional sponsors. Please contact Matt (Matt@WickedPhilanthropy.org) if you have any questions or would like to discuss sponsorship options.
We’re very excited to have GU Energy as a sponsor for Wicked Philanthropy’s 2010 season as they’re the best energy product on the market and we’ll need all the energy we can get to ride 300 miles to raise money for charity.
A bit about GU… “From 1991 until today, athletes the world over have come to the same conclusion: GU works. Our Berkeley-based sports nutrition company started with our original GU Energy Gel, a revolutionary and more effective method to keep athletes fueled during exercise. Since then, GU has continued to improve the recipe, incorporating the latest scientific research into its products. In 2001, GU Electrolyte Brew (formerly Gu2o) was launched as the perfect hydration companion to GU Energy Gel. 2008 saw the introduction of Roctane Ultra Endurance Energy Gel, followed by Chomps Energy Chews and GU Recovery Brew in 2009. Every product is formulated to further GU’s mission: to help athletes go faster and longer than ever before”

(Update 9/25/09 – Mike surpassed his modest fundraising goal by an impressive 43% and to date has raise $575 for the cause.)
I received a nice email from Mike Morris (prior rider) today. Here’s his email, cause, and call to help – please help if you can:
Friends,
On Thursday I’m going to be wearing a bald-cap all day long in support of cancer fighting charities. It’s probably going to be harder for me than riding 100 miles on my bike since I hate wearing hats, even worse latex skull-caps. I’m raising money and need your help. My goal is to raise a modest $400 by Wednesday. I’m at zero as I write this email.
Coincidentally, Shonda and I just found out yesterday that her grandfather lost his fight with lung cancer. Her grandfather was her father figure growing up. Cancer fighting causes take on a whole new light when it hits close to home.
I’m personally and through my businesses supporting this cause and you can watch me talk about Shonda’s personal fight with Cancer in this video [embedded below]:

I was unaware this film was in the making but just saw a post from Patagonia about it. Perfect timing and a beautiful trailer.
Patagonia wrote (via @CleanestLine), “The End of the Line is not against fishing. It is not against eating fish. It’s for responsibly fished oceans. http://endoftheline.com”
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.
