If you had a great time at Tour de Fat, or if you're looking for a fun and important way to support West Town Bikes, NFP it's time to sign-up for the New Belgium Brewing's 'Urban Assault'. The Urban Assault Ride™ is a funky bike scavenger hunt that involves street-smart riding, obstacle courses, and a after party. Mental muscle is just as important as bike skills as teams of 2 choose their own course to checkpoints around the city. The event will benefit West Town Bikes.

Volunteers are needed to help with registration, run check points, and serve beer. The event will be held Sept 28th, with a volunteer training to be held on the 25th. Aside from our undying admiration, volunteers will receive bags full goodies, free meals, t-shirts and an invitation to the after-party. If you are interested in volunteering email sarahm@westtownbikes.org, we need 15 more people!
