If you can't ride

Hey there. Some of you are out there saying, "Look. Its November. I want to help, but I don't ride in this weather." Well good news for you! The Omaha Food Bank (now Food Bank for the Heartland) has set a clever virtual grocery store. Take advantage of the Food Bank's purchasing power. Grab food items with your mouse and run them over the scanner. You will need to have a PayPal account for now to donate. (Who doesn't have a PayPal account?!? Its almost 2012.)

Thanks and stayed tuned for more details.

What is Cranksgiving?

It's a race ... of sorts. Each rider gets a list of 10 items that must be purchased, each from a different store. (Where you get them is fine, you just can't get two from the same place.) First one back wins.

After the race, when everything is tallied and totaled, all of the food purchased goes to the local Food Bank.

There's no entry fee -- you'll just pay for what you buy (15-20 bucks). There will, however, be prizes.

You're going to go ride anyway, right? Just pick up some food along the way and help us help a lot of people who don't have the luxury of jumping on a bike 'just for fun.'

Stay tuned for more updates.
