Well maybe it's not the 10,000$ needed to complete our season, but we did have success in securing a small donation out of Cornwall.
Lalonde Insurance Brokers have graceiously donated some money to help the Dynamic Duo get a little further this Cyclocross season! Lalonde is an Insurance brokerage company selling home/auto/health and all types of insurance policies. They are located at 134 Montreal Road in Cornwall beside the Old Port Theatere. We had a chance to catch up with my aunt Colette who is the co-owner of the company and we pleaded our case with her. She was thrilled to hear about my race with Lance in Vegas and she was actually in vegas when we were racing, but my Mom forgot to tell her.
Anyways, every little bit helps, and this litle bit gets us to Kentukey this weekend as our budget is tighter than my jeans last year in Belgium after eating frites, so
I hope this is a sign that our sponsorship endeavours will yield some success.
We're setting up a pay pal account as we have had this requested from a freind who wants to help us out...so maybe this will help as well.
So if you are ever in Cornwall and you need insurance...dail 1 888 470 6895. Hey you never know when you're going to get the urge to move to Cornwall. I'll give you a few reasons....
Great riding
It takes only 4 minutes to drive from the east end to the west end.
Rush hour? Maybe only in Tim Hortons Parking lots.
You can go do groceries at more than just Loblaws. Also there are no line ups!
You can easily be the Number one UCI ranked rider in your region.
Cheap Rent...especially if you live in your parents basement.
DSJ
Oh yah don't know if you've seen the first UCI rankings? Tasha is ranked 16th in the World and I am ranked 33rd. Not bad.

check out Trek racing...
if you two get on there, yah most likely have it made.
Talk to jeremiah bishop via his site:
http://www.jeremiahbishop.com/
he's pretty good at getting back to people.
Also, try this site. Ergo is accepting sponsors right now...

You folks need some big sponsors.
Like Nokia and such...
You both have the skills and talent, just need the dough.
Give Jeremiah bishop a ring to see if Trek is taking on more people.
Man, 33rd is just a couple off from Jeremiah.
Jeremiah is one "fk" of a rider!
See what it takes to get on the trek team.
I think they make a base salary of some place around 25k or so. I'm not sure if they get all their expenses paid for (?)
But, they show up at all the hundred milers in style that's for sure (nice VW car and mechanic at most of the staged stuff I've been to such as BCBike race etc...)
You folks have the skill, the ambition, determination, passion... go do it!
Just thought of something. Check out this site:

Lynda does a lot of her coaching on line. So does many others...
Not sure why you folks don't do that. Especially with Derick being a certified medical person. And, both of you with numerous experience and leads to info/knowledge out there...
There's money in it.
And, I know Lynda along with her partner Dave are pretty close to world class adventure athletes.
I think she makes a good living off of training plans.
She's training people like Jeff Kerkove of Ergon and his performance has increased 10 fold.
Watching what you two pull out in wattage from the winter racing series... yah gotta have some good training tips and coaching methods that people are willing to buy. I know I would!
