Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor 2009 Cranksgiving
29 riders braved the December cold to collct 800 lbs of food for Food Gatherers. Prizes went out to:
- First Place Solo: Art (78lbs)
- First Place Solo Budget: John Lennon ($1.96/lb)
- First Place Team: Jeff and Amy (70lbs total/35lbs per racer)
- First Place Team Budget: Michael Aldrige and Jm and Forrest Karnop ($0.80/lb)
- Most Stores: Sandy Bledsoe (9 stores)
- Second Place Solo: Rex Roof (78lbs)
- Second Place Team: Jeff Gregory, Georgina Hinkley, Andy Hromadka (83lbs/27.67 lbs/racer)
- Secret Item: Baby Formula: Rex Roof
- People's Choice Award: Steve Allen
While we gathered less than the 1000lbs we got last year at this time, we also had more riders then, so our pounds per rider has definitely gone up.

- Velocity
- Keirin Culture
- VG Kids
- Surly
- Ypsilanti Bicycling Coalition
