Last night myself, Phil, and Andy stopped into Urbana to meet with a recently established organization called Live Green. Our friend Honi from Derma Hair Care brought the event to our attention and mentioned it would be a good way to meet more environmentally conscious-minded individuals and organizations in the DC area.
There was a good showing at the happy hour, which offered some good organic wine in a good atmosphere. Phil, Andy, and I split up to meet with as many people as we could to mainly spread the word about Xtreme4 and what we are about. We were received very enthusiastically by most as just about everyone we talked to could not fathom riding across country, much less riding 24 hours a day, and completing RAAM in just under 7 days - and all for a good cause and increasing the awareness of how individuals can make an impact on the environment.
We walked away from the event having met people of similar minds for preserving the environment, a better grasp on how organizations in the DC area can help us out, and what we can do for them as well.
