Pam Mccann and Blu Benzinger have been working behind the scenes on ride day for over 15 years. They've seen everything from last minute parades on rider routes to torrential downpours and hail appearing quite literally out of the blue. Pam and Blu manage the SAG support team, a group of individuals committed to rider safety and support. "SAG drivers are the cheerleaders of the ride," says Blu, "The riders appreciate the comfort of knowing there's a SAG team member there when needed." Pam adds, "It's a great way for family and friends of riders to participate as well."

Q: "So what is Chamois Butt'r and can I put it on toast?"

A: I'm only going to say this once. Do not eat the Chamois Butt'r. I mean, I know you're burning alot of calories out there, but reach for a protein bar instead! 

All jokes aside, Chamois Butt'r, also known as anti-chafe cream, is really a rider's best friend. Use it on your legs to minimize friction and skin irritation while riding or running. It will allow you to have a longer, more comfortable ride and it keeps your skin happy too. We provide Chamois Butt'r on ride day, but if you need it before then, find it online or at most sporting goods stores. And remember, keep it in your cycling bag, not your kitchen pantry ;)
