I got an email from Andy saying that he has donated a trip to Italy to benefit our friend and ex-team mate’s son, Andreas Knickman. FatCyclist is doing the fund raising here. You can buy tickets Here and that will put you into a drawing for a free Cinghiale Bike Tour with Andy. It is only 5 bucks. You can enter as many times as you’d like.

This is an awesome trip for a super great cause. Click on the link above to donate. It’s tax deductable and just the right thing to do. The drawing will be held December 23rd, so enter early and often.

If you have a little extra time to blow, here are a couple pretty good videos that give you the flavor of last Sunday’s events in Bend. First the Elite men’s race and then the Elite women’s race.
