Thursday evening the riders of the Sustainable Living Bike Tour and some friends made their way to Avalon to visit the Catalina Organic Co-op for a fundraiser. The Co-op meets weekly to provide Avalon residents access to fresh organic produce. They graciously invited us to set up a fundraiser for the bike tour at their event. We baked no less than 800 cookies, 16 loaves of Focaccia Bread, a dozen or so loaves of homemade bread, and three varieties of hummus with crackers made from scratch. It was a huge success and the donations made will go a long way in helping with expenses such as gas, food, and accommodations for the bike tour. A big thank you to the Catalina Organic Co-op and also to Autumn for taking some pictures and organizing our event!
Just over a week before we push off for the bike tour and the energy level is very high. Everyone now has a bike, food orders are being placed, and our route has been established. If we can stay away from the 200 or so leftover cookies we will be ready to embark on our journey next Monday!
