Sponsorship

Rouge Roastery is helping to sponsor its first biking event! The Tour de Troit on September 15, 2007.

We'll be there makin' fresh Papua New Guinea coffee for the masses to enjoy. We being myself and my lovely future bride, Julie, who has so gratiously offered to help with this.

I'm picking up new coffee making equipment tomorrow (which is a pourover bunn coffee maker that will brew directly into airpots). I am a bit concerned that this won't be high enough volume for the event, but you do what you can with the equipment you have and that's about all I can do.

The tour itself is a nice 35 mile bike ride that draws several hundred riders into the depths of Detroit. It is a beautiful ride through downtown and the urban jungle that lies in and around corktown.

It is sneaking up on me, and with everything else going on, I don't have a lot of time to put together everything I'd like to have for it. But we'll be there, with coffee in tow... Should be fun!

If you are going, look for us and come have a taste of what really fresh coffee tastes like!
