Hello all.
The Africat will be benefiting a program that sends bicycles to, and trains mechanics in, disadvantaged communities in Africa, with the aim of improving quality of life for the recipients. All of the profits gained from entry fees etc. will be sent to provide local people with the bicycle, something that they ordinarily would not have access to. Bikes, because of their swiftness and practicality, would not only make access to clean water and other necessities easier, but would also, if given to healthcare workers, allow people who would ordinarily languish outside the range of local doctors to be treated.
As for the route (no spoilers), the race would pass through Berkeley and Oakland, and will, hopefully, be challenging and fun for all you racers out there.
Save the date!
Will P
