New Sponsor Spotlight: BRAAAP (Cross is Coming), Ocho Candy and RBar Energy Bars

San Francisco's mini-indie company BRAAP (Cross is Coming) is all about "stoking the grassroots." All of its sweet cyclocross-centric merch is made in the USA and they're give us a set of socks, t-shirt and stickers set to give away. Thanks so much!

Oakland's Ocho Candy produces certified organic, Fair Trade candy. That means it meets criteria regarding sustainability, the environment and compassionate labor practices. They're also pesticide and GMO-free. They've donated 60 candy bars to give away to Sweep participants -- so thank you for your generous contribution!

RBar Energy Bars have just seven ingredients or less in each bar. Their line of healthy, delicious products are handcrafted in Arizona, and they kindly sent us 10 boxes of four flavors: Double Chocolate, Lemon Poppyseed, Pricky Pear Pecan and Peanut Butter and Jelly. Some fortunate Sweep participants will enjoy these tasty products on future rides!
