Mods: Would you be willing to sticky this thread? Fellow Crew Fans: I am starting a Save the Crew Peloton for Pelotonia. For those unaware, Pelotonia is a ride to raise money for cancer research. There are three different ways you can participate: 1) Ride in Pelotonia (it is the weekend of August 3-5). There are 10 different ride lengths from 25 miles to 200 miles. The amount you are committed to raising depends on the ride length. I recommend riding as it truly is an amazing experience. However, there are plenty of reason why this won't be possible for everyone. 2) Become a virtual rider. You setup an account to raise money and commit to raising at least $100 for cancer research. Your account can be associated with the Save the Crew Peloton and count towards the total amount of funds raised by the team. 3) Become an event volunteer. You don't have to commit to raising any funds to be a volunteer, you just have to be willing to help out during the event. You will get an account that you can raise funds for, and it will count towards the STC Peloton total, but you aren't committed to raising anything. If anyone is interested in participating please send me a private message on here. The more the better as it supports two great causes: Saving the Crew and ending cancer. Once enough people join the team it will show up on the website. At that point I will post the link here to donate. Donating is the fourth way you can get involved. You can donate directly to the Peloton or to an individual rider. Funds to an individual rider will still show up in the grand total raised by the Peloton. Funds directly donated to the Peloton at the end of the event can be used by peloton riders to meet their fundraising commitment.
I need two more people to sign up before it will show up on the website. A few people have indicated their potential interest in addition to people that are already registered, but until they actually register with Pelotonia I can't get the page created. Who wants to be the next two to register so we can have a #SaveTheCrew page up and ready for donations?!
Did you get there yet? I've been considering doing this for years and never had a peleton I was interested in joining. I'll kick it around for next few days and decide if I can committ.
Still have two more spots to fill before it shows up on the website (but the peloton can have way more people than just two more). I have one person that said they were planning on registering this week. I've also have multiple other people say they are interested without saying when they were planning on registering. We'd love to have you join us!
Wasted a good 10 minutes messing with this. Custom cycling jersey's - How about a STC version?..... https://www.owayo.com/konfigurator_html/index.php?sport=cycling&product=bikejerseys&lang=en&land=us#
Boosting this post to see if anyone else wants to join or know someone that does. I'd love to post a link to donate, but can until I get two more people signed up for the Peloton. I feel like a used car salesman, but this is supporting two great causes!
The #SaveTheCrew peloton is now active! Take a break from thinking about the heartless crap a certain individual is trying to pull and consider donating to cancer research while showing your support for keeping the Crew in Columbus where they belong. https://www.yourpelotonia.org/profiles/public-team-profile?UserKey=649676
Should we donate to individuals within the team or the team? I am pretty uninformed when it comes to these charity race matters.
Either works. They both will show up in the total raised by the peloton. If you donate directly to the peloton, and someone in the peloton doesn't meet their funding commitment, the peloton raised funds can be moved over to their account so they meet their fundraising commitment.
Want to make Precourt donate part of your ticket money to the #SaveTheCrew peloton? Great! Buy tickets to the July 21st match through this link and $10 for each ticket will be donated to our peloton. I'd love to have Precourt make a huge donation to something #SaveTheCrew related. https://fevo.me/2J2fgXy
