er, that should be “at work” and not “for work.”

I was just thinking, for the first time in, um, forever, that there is not a single piece of bicycle gear, clothing, equipment, etc. that I need at the moment. A chance to save some dough. But Fatty had other plans for my funds!

Our family will be delighted to participate. But I have to know, will there be stickers? I have my Grand Slam for Zambia sticker proudly displayed on my bulletin board for work, and would love to supplement it.

We’re in. And you helped solve a secondary problem of what to get my parents for Christmas.

@Maile in Florida-
Yes, we can do that! Feel free to send me an email once you make your contribution so I can work with my team to ensure your card isn’t mailed until mid-December. My email is kbolling@worldbicyclerelief.org
Thank you!
Katie

@Katie & WBR: If we donate on behalf of someone as their Christmas gift, can we specify that the card notifying them from WBR not be sent until near Christmas?

FC- Will there be a bike delivery in Zambia again in 2013? If so, would it be possible to pay our own way to participate?

MattC, GregC and I were talking about this a few months back. We all love Fatty (you), WBR and have been dying to visit Africa. It would be like a Fatty Trifecta. :-)

I was one of those that purchased bikes as stocking stuffers for my kids. It made Christmas extra special and they all thought it was really cool.

World Bicycle Relief is a fantastic origination. I’m in for a few more bikes. Thank you Fatty for once again doing good things.

Awesome! Such a great cause and great effort by you Fatty! I’m definitely in again this year.

I too am still logging the miles (as few as they are) on Plus3 and I too wonder why I don’t see any miles from Elden or Lisa! I figure every little bit helps.

Keep up the good work Fatty!

Man, I’d pay good money to attend the winning prize in Moab. Any thought to a fundraising event?

I also am a plus3er who’s been raising money throughout the year. I’m closing in on one bike purchased and made the leaderboard in June. I felt really proud of that. You guys are hard to compete with!

Like Nick, I still upload to Plus 3 for WBR, but there seems to be a distinct lack of Elden Nelsons on the leader-board. That seems strange considering the epic amount of riding you’ve been doing.

Are you still on Team Fatty on Plus 3 Fatty?

Has there been any calculating of the effectiveness of Team Fatty on Plus 3? Have we raised money for many additional bikes?

BTW I’m in for the Zambia challenge again.
