Not trying to leave you hanging...

We are not trying to build any suspense. Ray did compete at the Northwest Regional Barista Competition, and I do plan to deliver a detailed report, but I haven't yet had the opportunity to hear about the experience from the man himself. You can expect a detailed report of the event in the coming weeks.

I do know that Alex Pond of The Fresh Pot took home first prize in the competition. Congratulations to Alex, Michael Brooks, and everyone at The Fresh Pot!

Lastly, congratulations to Ray! Thank you for being the first to represent the LRBC at a barista competition. Your hard work and continuous dedication to your craft make us proud. Thank you.

Hello Bikesters,

Tag -- you're it! We bloggers here at Art Scatter have been given the Premios Dardo Award, and we're passing it along to you: See details at
http://www.artscatter.com/general/were-no-1-with-a-dart-pass-it-along/

It's sort of a chain letter, but a GOOD chain letter: you identify blogs you like and hope they'll pass it along to blogs THEY like, and the whole thing becomes a quilt of connections. We like your blog, so ... there you go! Wnjoy it, and pass it along.

cheers,
bob hicks

go Ray! Ray is also first to represent courier coffee in a barista competition. It was fun holding the mock competitions. Because of ray we moved from just using our regular organic sidamo to our koratie cooperative sidamo as 50 percent of our espresso mix. El Rey. And it was a flurry of awesome at ccr headquarters with ray and tim both visiting much!!!!!
