RAAM preparations in Malaga · 22/02/10

The history of professional sport is littered with tales of sponsors and owners who like to get a bit more involved with the day to day running of their investments than perhaps they ought. Many a manager has walked from his post amid accusations that the chairman was picking the team and in cycling, on at least one occasion, the sponsor got the dubious honour of deciding who finished first second and third in one of the monuments of the sport. So it’s nice when you have a sponsor who comes along and says to the riders and staff at Rapha Condor Sharp “Could you give me a few pointers?“.

That’s pretty much the story of how a group from Sharp came to be out on the road this week with the professionals in Malaga where, in preparation for their forthcoming participation in the race across America or RAAM, they’ve been putting in the miles, testing logistics and learning from the riders and staff in an effort to make those vital percentage gains that will see them make it from coast to coast in the US later this year.

The point of their participation in this epic event (should you need a reason to try and ride from one side of the United States to the other in around a week) is to raise money for the Prostate Cancer Charity, a worthy cause and one that we are proud to support. If you want to show your support for this awesome undertaking, head to www.sharp4prostate.org or if you’re motivated to have a go at something yourself, why not take a look at the Tour Rides this year. We’ll be there with the team and Paul and his RAAM group from Sharp.
