Penn Cycle & Fitness with 7 metro area stores is Minnesota's #1 TREK
dealer and has a great staff of sales people and mechanics to ensure you
are well equipped for the distance. Jimmy Jo at the Woodbury store
has been consistently supportive of our Tour. Stop in and be sure
to say thanks.
The Pizza Ranch in Hibbing is not only giving us amble room to
graze in their private party seating... barn, they are also extending
us a handsome discount on our grub. This place has been one of
our favorite pre- or post-FPYC stops since they opened up. The pizza
is really good, but the menu goes well beyond that. Please stop
by and thank them with your business - it's a great eat, and the
Christian ownership will enjoy serving up their western hospitality.
Two Paws!
The Great Harvest Bread Company of Woodbury is going to supply us
with Race Rolls. These hardy little carbo-bombs are perfect for
on-the-bike nibbling, just right for the jersey pocket. These
are the same all-natural, snack-size goodies enjoyed yearly at the
American Birkebeiner, which is a grueling 50K cross-country ski
marathon.
Be sure and stop in their shops across the Twin
Cities and try a sample of whatever wonderful things they're baking.
They are all about natural and healthy breads. Be sure and
express some thanks as well - especially early in the morning, for Bob
Fleishman.
We are very pleased to have Dunn Brothers Coffee of Woodbury again
stoking our caffine engines with their home roasted java. Mark
Spoto, the shop owner is himself a five-time tour veteran and
long-time camp supporter. He deserves a big LIKE on facebook and
for sure, get a cup of joe before or after a training ride.
The Bruegger's Bagels bakery in Woodbury gave
us an immediate and generous response to our donation request.
They are putting some wholesome carbs in our engines for the starting
line of our ride. Stop by and thank Kris Remore and the friendly
people whenever you can.
One Paw!
Sam's Club of Woodbury extended a $25 Gift
Card to help supply our Support Vehicles. They offer really great
value on many items we'll be using on the Tour this year. Their
price on CLIF bars for example - hard to beat. Thank you Sams!
