We Have a Winner!

Posted April 27, 2009 7:25 AM

We would like to congratulate one of our own trail volunteers, Adam Beguelin for winning the Ibis raffle. Adam has spent time working with us last fall on the North Yuba Extension and got wind of the raffle after receiving a newsletter from one of our sponsors, Passion Trail Bikes(thanks Patty!). Adam will be putting this bike to good use on his local trails in Lake Tahoe. The bike will be a perfect fit: light, stiff, a great climber, but with lots of travel for the rocky granite descents abundantly present in the Tahoe area.

Thanks again Adam for your support! Send us a pic of yourself on your first ride so we can see you in action.

Thanks again to all those who participated in this raffle. Money donated will go straight to one of our many trail projects. Since the money goes straight back into the trails we all know and love, we are all winners in this raffle(*sniff*).

Extra special thanks to Ibis and Scot Nicol in particular. Scot spear-headed this campaign and did most of the hands on dirty work in conjunction with us to see this thing through. It's hard to conjure the words to describe how great he is and how grateful we are. I would say that Scot Nicol redefines the word AWESOME.

Lastly, thanks to all those who helped spread the word about the raffle! We couldn't have done it without you:

What's up guys? Hope all's good.

Was trying to buy some tickees on the site , but once I hit the enter button.....it kinda just froze up. I say kinda because it looked like it was processing, but just stayed in that mode forever.

I tried again and it did the same thing. Just thought I'd let you know B4 8 o'clock.

Thanks M.

thanks for the feedback. Our system sometimes hangs due to the # of donors at one time. If you have issues, you can try going straight to the Ibis site: http://www.ibiscycles.com/raffle/. It all goes to the same place in the end.

If it says processing and nothing ever goes through, and you didn't receive an email confirmation, then it did not go through. You should receive an email confirmation.

best,
