Just bought 2nd and 3rd bike in on go. Hope am entered with 90 chances to win and that my relatives will appreciate sharing a bike with someone from Zambia for Christmas. Thanks for making the shopping that easy. Happy holidays and a great new year to you all.

Oh my….I really want to be #1 on the drawing list, but that would mean an incredibly difficult decision. I’ll be checking my email on a regular basis, can’t wait to get that message! (heh)

In case you haven’t heard it lately, THANK YOU for all you do to make this world a better place.

Fatty, you have outdone yourself with the awesomeness of the charity and the prize lures you have come up with. I am definitely hooked and only wish I could donate more.

Question: how are the prizes doled out? I know the names are selected randomly but are the prizes selected randomly as well?

For example, not everyone may want a moutain bike, or a road bike, or be able to attend a week long training camp. So you could win a prize that you may not necessarily want, or be able to accept, that some other person may give their left arm for.

For the record, I’d be thrilled with darn near any of these. I really am just curious.

Great question, Mark. The first person drawn will be contacted and given the whole list of prizes to choose from. The second person drawn will be contacted and given the list of prizes to choose from, minus the one the first person chose. The third person gets to choose from everything except what the first 2 people drew, and so forth. – FC

I thought for sure I wanted to go riding with Tom D., but now I have to admit that I really, really, really want that Honey Stinger package. Is that wrong? I mean, that’s a lot of fuel for a lot of rides and runs.

It’s a good thing I never win anything cause I don’t know how I’d choose. A new super awesome carbon roadie, but I could spend time at Chris Horner’s Gran Fondo in Bend and get to meet his better half, but I could go to Moab and make a fool out of myself trying to mountain bike, but a VIP entry into the Queen of Pain’s ride, ack! I could never choose. There are too many wonderful prizes. Whew, good thing I never win anything. :) Actually, I’m already a winner because I got to meet Fatty and The Hammer in Davis and got to SIT NEXT TO THEM at the dinner and hang out with them at the US Cycling Hall of Fame. I also met some of the amazingly wonderful people that make up Team Fatty in Davis and am honored to be a part of this superb group of folks. Also, this Friday will be my final payment on a bike for someone in Zambia – WINNING! I think I can die and go to heaven now. :)

@MattC Glad to see that PG is fairing well. Give her a rub from us and my 4 legged brood. Keep those toes protected on her. One of our cats (armstrong) lost a toe because he kept walking on it after his own leg recovery/sensation issue.

Now more serious: MattC couldn’t you pony up some space on one of those satellites as a prize? How cool to know a Fatty Prize Winner has his own favorite tire levers, patch kit, or sunglasses(got to keep it small and light) orbiting this big blue marble in space.

Also MattC, I’m in a baking mood this week so if the wife wants to post the Macademia (sp?) Nut Cookie Recipe we could all try our hand at it..Of course we’d send you some for testing.

Lastly: Fatty. Please stop with all these prizes! I am going to have a difficult time getting enough time off to enjoy my winnings!
