Nature’s Path
Nature’s Path is a family-run, passionately independent, sustainably-driven, deliciously-healthy organic food company that believes in “leaving the earth better than we found it”. Yes, that’s quite a mouthful, but they have a lot to say. So yes, sometimes it’s OK to talk with your mouthful.
During the 99%RIDE expedition our rider eats between 10-14 granola bars per day. Being on the bike for 6-8 hours asks a lot, physically speaking. To give him the right energy we’ve received an awesome amount of delicious, organic granola bars (Certified Organic!) from Nature’s Path.
Thanks again for the wonderful granola bars!

Team HBH Amsterdam
From the first day the 99%RIDE project was announced, everybody concerned with cycling Team HBH from Amsterdam has been a wonderful support. Our rider, Dirk Spits, has been cycling with this great team for the past 15 years.
Competing in national and international amateur races, Team HBH has proven itself multiple times on several occasions. From the famous ‘La Marmotte’ in France to the classic Belgium races like ‘The Tour of Flanders’ and ‘Liège–Bastogne–Liège. An amateur team that adds that extra touch in cycling you sometimes need; the beers & talks after a heavy Tuesday evening training, new people being introduced and welcomed every season, the laughter and joy during every ride.
99%RIDE is very proud to have such a great group of friends supporting them during this expedition.
