As some of y'all may or may not be aware, our friend and fellow cycling cat (aka Amos K) has started a gals junior development team called the Sonic Kittens here in the Syracuse area. Since Amos is a good cat (at least when she's a riding and hanging w/the Ommegangsters) and this concept is a truly cool way to give back to cycling, we're encouraging all the folks out there to make an effort to support them in whatever way we can. From the Amos blog .....
"We've had some really generous gifts so far and the girls REALLY appreciate it! Any used cycling gear will be put to good use. Shoes, bikes, bike parts, wheels, pedals, saddles...you name it, we can use it! Somebody gave them an older frame and we had Pete put a 9 speed group on there that somebody donated. That's one more kid racing that wouldn't have been able to afford it otherwise! Thank you!!!"
So now you (hopefully) see the "... need some mittens reference" .... check your stash of cycling "stuff" and see what you can donate as you can well see, every little bit helps.
To donate items to the Sonic Kittens, there is a donation drop box at Syracuse Bicycle. (You are going to donate something right? -- Don't make us sick the Dawg on ya.) If you would like to contact "Amos" directly regarding the Sonic Kittens, please do so through the normal channels (Amos is a regular on various regional group rides, if you don't know her, ask an Ommegangster) or just respond to this post &we'll put you in touch.
