Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor 2010 Cranksgiving
12 folks came out on a lovely clear day and stayed through to the chilly end, gathering 448 pounds of food for Food Gatherers, the food bank for Washtenaw County. Prizes went to Josh Chamberlain (Speed - 34:47) and Eric Jankowski (Weight - 251 pounds). Eric was extra lucky and also won the Specialized Haul.
In no particular order, thanks to our sponsors, who were generous again this year with swag for riders:
- Two Wheel Tango
- Globe
- Giro
- Blackburn
An extra special thanks goes out to the good folks at Food Gatherers, who not only do an amazing job year around but also came through to make sure this event could happen. They can always use your help, consider donating to them or your local food bank.
