2022 Le Tour de Transylvania Socks

Hank Birdsong | Published on 6/29/2022


Hello BRBC Members,

The 2022 "le Tour de Transylvania" starts July 1st. Details of the first few stages have already been sent out.

This year we are raising money to support organizations providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine. I have just placed an order for TdT DeFeet socks. You can choose your level of support when you purchase the socks. Pay $15 and $5 goes to charity, pay $20 and $10 goes to charity, pay $25 and $15 goes to charity. I didn't order a ton since I didn't want to end up with a drawer full of leftovers, so email me with your size so I can reserve a pair for you, then bring your payment to one of the TdT rides.
