Help Wanted

Here is your chance to help the wonderful “Safe Routes to School” program.  On Tuesday, November 17th, there is planned a “Bike and Walk to School Day” event at Hunter’s Green Elementary School in New Tampa.  Volunteers are needed to hand out prizes and possibly lead a bicycle train to the school.  A bicycle train is a group ride consisting on adults and children;  it’s like carpooling by bicycle.  We plan to meet at the Hunter’s Green Park at 7:15am on Nov 17th.   Anybody interested in pulling the group of future racers?  Any number of volunteers would help greatly.  To participate please contact:
