When Sacha White at Vanilla Bicycles heard we were raising money for p:ear through our Zaandercross race on 9/21 he insisted on doing his part to help. So, was born the Zaandercross Raffle. We have got THE most beautiful and functional cyclocross stem you've ever seen: a custom Speedvagen stem with internal cable routing. Check it out:

One lucky winner is going to come away with this beauty, worth $350!

-But wait, when some of our other sponsors caught wind of Vanilla's generosity they jumped right in as well:
-West End Bikes has offered up a gorgeous, retro, Assos full cycling kit(Jersey, shorts, gloves, cap) valued at over $500!
-Chris King has donated one of their "Zaand-proof" bottom brackets
- The Commons Brewery, makers of PDX's finest "Belgiany" beers has a full tasting for 4 on tap at their brewery/tasting room on 11th & Stephens

Pretty cool stuff indeed. You can simply enter when you preregister at: https://www.athletepath.com/zaandercross/2013-09-21
One ticket costs $5, you can enter as many times as you like. You don't need to be present to win and all proceeds to benefit p:ear, for homeless youth in Portland. You may also enter in person on race day or even by contacting me directly. You may recall last year's race cost $5 to park. This year the parks dept. isn't charging to park so go ahead put the money towards a good cause while possibly coming away with something really cool. Thanks for your support.
