The Cycling Mayor

My sponsors

I’d like to introduce my commercial sponsors so far…

	Cheddar Cycle Store, my invaluable local bike shop, are going to sponsor me! Thanks guys They also run the Cheddar Cyclo Sportive which will be taking place on September 20th 2009 – so if you fancy cycling the infamous Cheddar Gorge, this one could be for you!
	Moneygivers Colourprint of Cheddar are going to sponsor me too. They print the little local Cheddar & Axbridge paper that I edit for Publishing Today and are a lovely bunch of guys.
	Buff are on board!. I’ve been using Buff scarves for the last couple of years – they’re the most versatile piece of kit I know. They can be everything from a hair scrunchie to a scarf, a bandana, a mask to keep the flies out of your mouth….I have three, (two original, one visor), hubby has one, and both the kids have one. Yet again – a truly appropriate sponsor
	The wonderful folk at Kalas (hi Andrew!) are behind the custom kit that is being produced with my early sponsors’ logos on. The final design is now sorted and should be with me in a few weeks – I just have to do it justice now. Maybe I should have added “go faster” stripes?
	Cheddar Ales are also on board. Seems appropriate since I’ve been known to view Potholer as rehydration therapy….and we had a lovely polypin of Totty Pot for Christmas
	Torq are another addition to my sponsor list. I use their bars and gels to fuel me through events as as well as doing the job they taste nice, aren’t too chewy, and in the case of the gels – can be a godsend! I’m starting to find their Recovery very useful too.
	We’ve been a part of the Riverford Organic Veg Box Scheme for probably something like 7 years now, apart from a brief hiatus when we weren’t in the country. It’s been consistently great. There’s the challenge of figuring out what to cook with what the seasons give you, the vegetables you get that it wouldn’t occur to you to buy otherwise, and it’s all fresh, local, and great value. Gil and Liz who are our distributors are both friendly and helpful, and they’ve even had a stall at the Somerset Showcase a couple of times.
