Mr. Van Haute,

I wanted to send my sincere thanks to you and the Jelly Belly squad.  This past Friday night Jelly Belly took part in the Minneapolis crit as part of the Nature Valley stage race.  Prior to the start of the mens race, the team was parked in a lot on a side street, in full prep mode getting everything ready for the race.  My 3 year old son decided this was the place he wanted to hang out.  He went straight to the team and proceed to throw out a flurry of questions, he even sat down in someone’s chair.  This was a pretty big move for such a little guy.  Had he been shooed away, I would have completely understood.  Instead, everyone on the team answered his questions, chatted with him, and made him feel like this is where he was supposed to be all along.  I can’t tell you how excited he was, he talked about the experience the whole way home.

This group of riders truly showed what it means to be a professional.

Thank you,

Chad, Hollie, and Connor (3) Macy
