One of our taglines is that the riders going to burn 250,000 calories during the race--that's back of the envelope math, but it's probably not too far off. We have a great sponsor in Infinit, which is providing us with more than enough of their customizable sports drinks to get us through the race without solid food if we wanted. But solid food is nice, and we are getting some great donations from other companies.

One of those is Kashi--where a friend of a friend is got the company to hook us up with about all the product that we can handle. It's great stuff and well-liked by crew and rider alike. It did come with a small warning; it's VERY fiber rich, and if you eat too much, uh, emergencies can happen. TMI? Perhaps, but actually a good thing to have in mind.

Also, a friend at ClifBAR sent us a large box of product including bars and shotblox that we're really looking forward to eating. I spent some time at their HQ in Berkeley, CA a couple weeks ago, and have to say that I was really impressed with their whole operation. Very green, very community-oriented, and very good to the employees. I'm looking forward to tearing through more than a few of those bars and the other products as I eat my way to 1/4 of the 250,000 calories...
