A little news on cyclists favorite subject: food.

A new organization will be providing food at our Shelton overnight stop. Shelton's non-profit Save Our County's Kids will be cooking dinner and breakfast at the high school. SOCK does a spaghetti feed for the local Fiddle Fest every spring. Reviews from fiddle fans have always been good. SOCK provides activities and support for at-risk youth in Mason County.

Bicycle Alliance volunteers will sell rootbeer floats at Shelton High School on Saturday afternoon. We'll also have information on the organization so new members, who join as part of RAPSody registration, and non-members alike can learn more about what this ride supports.

Finally, some thanks to the sponsors who have stepped up so far: SOCK, Spoke & Sprocket, Mark's Bike Works, Pedal Dynamics, Century Massage, and Tacoma Community College.

We would love to have your comments to help us improve on what we do. Feel free to send your suggestions on food, overnight amenities, route, etc. to info @ rapsodybikeride.com. Please let us know what makes RAPSody special for you.
