No we are not sitting around at Adventure Cycling, planning for the end of the world. Though some of the staff may be secretly stockpiling canned goods and water in preparation for the promised 2012 apocalypse (or recovery from their recent bike tour), the "final hours" that I am talking about refer to the closing of the month long Build It. Bike It. Be a Part of It. campaign to support the U.S. Bicycle Route System (USBRS).
We have worked hard all month to get the word out about this great project and it looks like our efforts have paid off. As of 2 pm MST today we have raised a total of $48,214 to help build the U.S. Bicycle Route System. We couldn't have gotten here without the support of all of our generous donors, and we still have a little way to go. Help us raise the final $1786 by midnight tonight to reach our overall goal of $50,000!
If you donate today you will be entered to win a Viper or Verve Osprey hydration pack (the designs are gender specific). Another bonus? Your gift will help us meet a $1,000 match challenge from the Michigan United Tandem Society.
Make a donation of $100 or more and you will receive a limited edition U.S. Bicycle Route System cycling cap from Walz Caps. You could be one of the select few people in the world sporting this awesome hat!
All you have to do is go to http://www.razoo.com/p/usbrs2012 and donate. . . before it's too late!
