Quick note - great causes

The master of soliciting donations, Elden Nelson (The Fat Cyclist) is at it again. First he sent an open letter to Johan Bruyneel explaining why he deserved to be on Team Radio Shack. Johan upped the game with this challenge:

By Friday December 11, 12:00 PM US Mountain Standard/Tucson, AZ Time you must have met the following criteria

• Raised a minimum of $10,000 for World Bicycle Relief

AND

• Raised a minimum of $10,000 for LIVESTRONG

If those two criteria are met by the stated deadline, I will fly you out to Arizona and you will have the one opportunity to ride with Team RadioShack on Sunday, December 13.

But I have a bonus for you!If you raise a minimum of $25,000 for World Bicycle Relief AND $25,000 for LIVESTRONG, you"ll get a brand new Trek Madone 6 Series bike powered by SRAM Red.

So, Fatty threw it open to everyone. Go to his blog, read the full post, and toss in for a chance to win.
