We are so grateful for the generous sponsorship of 2XU and Hammer Nutrition, our two newest sponsors.  Both companies join PAC Tour, Orange Software, Emde Sports, and Reno Tahoe Dental in their heartfelt support for Team We Race For Kids. We can’t thank you enough.

We had a great time at PAC Tour’s Desert Camp, despite the first couple of days riding in the snow, sleet, rain, wind and downright cold weather. After riding, Andrew, Patrick, and Jonathan met daily to discuss race logistics, crew assignments, and the other million things that need to be planned for before, during and after RAAM.  Having to say “see you later” to Jonathan before he had to fly back for his work commitment was hard.  But we got to spend some great time with his dad, George and crew member, Brian.  While many of our moments together were serious, we did manage to have some fun on and off the bike.

Before leaving Tucson and our week at Desert Camp, Andrew and Patrick rode up Mt. Lemmon.  The views were incredible!

Next week, racers Andrew Puddy and Patrick Seely will head to southern Arizona for Week 5 of PAC Tour’s Desert Camp.  Andrew is flying in from Australia and Patrick will be traveling from Reno.  Also joining them will be Jonathan Jahant, crew chief, and Brian Meakin, crew member .  Besides training in the desert heat and wind, there will be meetings to discuss crew assignments, iron out logistics, and plan for RAAM.  With just over 90 days to RAAM, their work is cut out for them.

We now have our crew!  This is truly a “dream team” for Patrick and Andrew.  Represented by three countries – Canada, Australia, and the United States, our team consists of 9 men and 2 women.  Check out our Meet the Crew page.
