Mr. Mitchell and Doc .......... Bicycle America!
| "Mr. Mitchell here!" Our Sponsors are so much more than companies ----- they are people who believe in Mr. Mitchell and Doc. And in our Bicyclin' America Adventure. The funny thing? We found out that many of the companies or organizations encourage their staff to bring their dogs (like me) to work or are all about dogs. They also believe in bicycling to work if possible! We believe in their products, services & company philosophies. We are honored to accept their sponsorship. We hope you will read more about them and think of them the next time you need the products they make or might use the services they offer. Sponsors of Mr. Mitchell and Doc: Hill's Pet Nutrition Hill's corporate mission is to help enrich and lengthen the special relationship between you and your pets by providing the best pet nutrition in the world. Doc was wondering how to find my special hypoallergenic diet ...Down the Road. When Hill's Pet Nutrition stepped in and offered to meet us at veterinary clinics or hospitals or... anywhere along our route ... WOW! They will bring me my special diet: Prescription Diet® z/d® ULTRA Allergen-Free dog food. Now my ears will stay healthy so I can have more fun. I won't have itchy skin that goes along with food allergies either! Preventative medicine is THE way to Go! Stay tuned for Bicyclin' Adventures up and down the hills with Hill's! Ibex Outdoor Clothing. It Just feels right! Your recommended daily fiber! At the cornerstone of Ibex is the Merino fiber, and a passion for the renewable, ultra-soft, high-performing fabrics knitted from this extraordinarily dynamic fiber continues to drive Ibex to offer customers the best of what nature and human ingenuity has to offer. Doc stays warm and dry when the weather is cold in the Ibex line of wool clothing while Bicyclin' America. This incredible line of clothing also keeps Doc cool & dry when temps soar. Soft yet not itchy! Did you know that layers of wool can keep you warm or cool? Did you know the right kind of wool works wonders while climbing hills -- even in 100 degree weather? John's Auto I visit John & Pat at John's for my people fix as often as I can. They take great care of all sorts of cars, trucks and farm equipment. AND...Tom knows how to weld aluminum. He did an amazing job for us. We now have a special aluminum rack atop my dog cart. Yep, for the guitar. Keen footwear Keen slogans: create, play, care KEEN® is more than a footwear company. KEEN® strives to be a company with a conscious by supporting social and environmental organizations. KEEN® also strives to take small steps towards sustainability by using recycled and repurposed materials whenever possible. In reaction to the 2004 Asian Tsunami, KEEN took their marketing budget and donated it in total to relief efforts. This gesture turned into their long-term Hybrid Care program, where they partner with organizations whose vision they share, including The Conservation Alliance, 1 KG More, Leave No Trace, and Big City Mountaineers. If I (Mr. Mitchell) could wear Keen sandals & shoes, I sure would. Doc is bicyclin' with Keen bike shoes and bike socks from Keen footwear. For after cycling camp comfort, Doc wears the lightweight Keen waterproof sandals. These sandals look and function great for visits to museums, schools, restaurants as well as the beach or pool. Doc is only using these two shoes on the trip --- more room for my tennis balls!!! Keen also makes some "hot" ( or should I say "cool") commuter bike sandals. Life is good What can I say? This company name says it all. The Life is good Company, based in Boston, Mass., spreads good vibes through its colorful collection of apparel and accessories, and the contagious smile of Jake, its optimistic cultural hero. Here are some Life is good positive messages -- 'Do what you like. Like what you do,' 'Spread good vibes,' 'What would Jake do?' and 'Half full'. MWI Veterinary Supply MWI supplies veterinarians with veterinary medical and surgical products and equipment. MWI updated my Doggie First Aid kit. Remember the LNT principle of being prepared!! We are cycling with PetFlex (all in one Wound Management System).These wraps cut down on weight and bulk in the 1st Aid Kit. We are trying out DAP (Dog Appeasing Pheromone) spray in my doggie cart to encourage friendly encounters with you doggies out there who may be "cheering" us along. We'll let you know how it works. Check back in a little while for a list of my first aid kit items & photos. Pacific Outdoor Equipment Last but not at all least (we listed sponsors alphabetically) PacOutdoors (POE). Of Bozeman, Montana. Big Sky country. Their philosophy is to create and deliver the highest quality, best designed outdoor gear imaginable, and have a great time doing it. Because: good gear = less waste; less wasted energy and less wasted opportunity in the outdoors. They are having a great fund raiser for Leave No Trace while we bicycle through Bozeman. We are honored to come speak (OK bark) about Leave No Trace & visit with kids of all ages in the Bozeman area while we Bicycle America. PacOutdoors has provided us with waterproof Panniers to keep our gear dry. They also supplied us with some cool PINATAs. Check 'em out! My dog food is stored in them as they are dry bags. Why do you suppose they called them Pinatas? Think of something big and furry .. Bears!!! These cool bags are made with 50 feet of cord to chuck over a branch. POE has outdoor equipment for water sports, camping, hiking, biking, .......... "Blue is the new green and the old green. Blue sky to breath and blue water to drink and grow with. It makes sense - blue refreshes our focus on what really matters for today, and the future. Please join us in going Blue." Pacific Outdoor Equipment |
