As you can see from some of our other Ambassadors, athletes love (and need) coffee. Their love of coffee leads to them trying a lot of it, which leads to them knowing where to find the good stuff. PERC started in Savannah. Back then, it was Philip with a coffee roaster, a bike, and a dream. So, we were thrilled when the opportunity to support the SCAD cycling team arose. Many SCAD team members and other cyclists already started their days at PERC. So it was a no-brainer. Go Bees!

The Paceline Project builds on the concept of riding in a paceline formation where a group of cyclists share in the work. They take turns at the front of the group, setting the pace while the other riders enjoy the draft. They rotate riders to the front to pick up the work. The teamwork of a paceline allows the entire group to go faster and farther than if they were riding alone. The team's mission is "we are better together, inclusiveness, and helping others go faster and farther on and off the bike."
