VeloRapters were a top 20 individual contributor with $1,650 in individual donations, plus a $2,500 corporate donation (thank you, Rick P.). The event had 400 participants this year and raised $213,000 for Oakland and Alameda schools.
And there were TWO VELORAPTORS THIS YEAR
The 110-mile ride was under cool weather with 4,761 feet of elevation. The route is pretty going through cow and solar farm country between the Benicia Bridge and Vacaville.
The cool weather turned out to be an asset. The ambience and support on the ride was amazing. I am sore but feeling good today.
Davis Rest Stop included olives, sushi, pickle juice, and chargers for iPhones and iWatches.
Thank you for your generous support. It really makes a difference.
Sincerely,
Rick
