Okay, got it. Hopefully there were some other ignorant foooos out there
besides me that now have it as well. I'm thinking I will contribute to
this worthy cause.

Jon Myers, Club Vivo and the rest of the statements that Jon make are
very accurate. They have given heavily from the Cross Crusade profits
to support riders going to worlds in the past. I am putting a check in
the mail today to help Barry and Erik and if the rest of you feel so
inclined I heartedly endorse that!

Candi,
Can you verify the legitimacy of this for the rest of us that don't know
anything about Club Vivo or Jon Myers?

In years past, the Cross Crusdade has donated thousands of dollars to
local cross racers that have gone to the World Championships and Europe
to race. Last year, for example, we donated $1000 to Andy Brooks
(Southern Oregon) to help defray the costs of racing as a junior at last
year's Cyclo-cross worlds.
We will be doing all we can this year also.
Any athelete not automatically selected for the team has to pay their
own way. Barry, Erik, and Rhonda were all discresionary picks and thus
have to pay for the trip themselves. This includes airfare, lodging,
food, and travel,
If anyone would like to have a central location to donate funds to
help these locals pay for a trip to worlds, the Cross Crusade would be
happy to help. We will pass on 100% of funds donated and provide a
public accounting off all funds donated and given out.
If you would like to help in this way, please make the check out to
"club vivo". Send it to:
Club Vivo c/o jon myers
7025 SW 7th Ave
Portland, OR 97219
attn: cross worlds
Thanks, Jon Myers

This is really cool. I can't believe there are going to be 3 guys from
the NW race scene going to worlds. I'm sure these guys are going to
have to fork over quite a bit out of their own pocket to get there and
race. Has anyone set up a way to donate money for the cause? Or does
anyone have any Ideas on how to set something up?

Both Barry Wicks and Erik Tonkin have been selected
for the US cross world's team. This is a pretty
impressive achievement for them personally and for the Portland
cross scene. I know it represents a lot of work and dedication.
Congrats to both of them!
