485 bails of Hay Volunteers needed
Downtown Norwich will witness its first major bicycle race in over 25 years. Main Street and Chelsea Harbor Drive will be totally blocked off from car traffic on Sunday Oct 7th.
To make the course totally secure the set up crew will be putting lots of hay bails in place during the early (dark) morning hours.
Radio from Halls Communications, cool 101 and 98.7 classic Standards is hyping he the race now and the Norwich Bulletin is running ads, while banners are up over major streets in town.
Let us know if you can lend sometime to set this race course up.
---Clif Bar has a 1959 GMC bus that runs on biodiesel fuel and is used to advance the cause of bike commuting. How? By visiting colleges in Arizona, California, Oregon and Washington and helping people map routes to bike stores, coffee shops and other services within a two-mile radius of their address. The Clif Bus program addresses three key stats: 40% of all urban trips in the U.S. are two miles or less; 90% of those trips are made by car; and 60% of car-caused pollution occurs in the first few minutes of use. Hence, Clif Bar's message: Forget the Buick and get on a bicycle. "The bike is a powerful tool to fight global warming," says the company. "College students are best poised to address this issue going forward because they are the voice of tomorrow." The Clif Bus will teach new riders how to customize their bikes to suit their transportation needs, something also accomplished by the RBR eBook, Bicycle Commuting for Fun & Profit.
