Tour De Troit - Volunteer Meeting   The Park Bar "upstairs" | 2040 Park Ave., Downtown Detroit, 2008-09-16 20:00:00 - 2008-09-16 23:00:00

This year's Tour de Troit looks to be the biggest yet, and as such, well, Detroit Bikes! wants to provide a supportive role. Help is appreciated, with areas of assistance including registration in the morning, park clean up afterwards, during the ride behind the scenes work, food service work, and even a sag wagon driver. As you can see, being a volunteer does not mean that you have to be a cyclist. There is a mandatory volunteer meeting next Tuesday, September 16th at 8:00 pm "Upstairs" at the Park Bar -- 2040 Park Ave, Downtown Detroit -- where we will meet, divvy up duties, and get organized, followed by local fare. All volunteers will be entered into a raffle with great prizes provided by Kona Bikes, Canine to Five, Pure Detroit, Bureau of Urban Living, Bike Tech, Wheelhouse Detroit and more! Plus, we have a great wrap party at Eph’s Deli when all the dust settles.
