Just a note that if you want to ride and support Chris, but are low on cash, I’m sponsoring a team that will get you in on the ride for a low price of $10.02. E-mail me if you want to join in on the fun…. damicoaustin@yahoo.com
I’ll also be promoting a caravan to a Yellow Bike Project event afterwards at the Compound in East Austin for some brews!
