Urban Bike Project of Wilmington needs help for Wilmington's Grand Prix

The first way in which you can help is with bike repair:  if you know any simple or advanced bike repair, the Urban Bike Project of Wilmington could use your help this Saturday night, 6-10pm, in fixing a few kids bikes to be used in the kids race portion of the Wilmington Grand Prix.

The second way in which you can help is by volunteering to be a valet for the Wilmington Grand Prix.  There are time slots available on Saturday, May 21st, from 9:30 am to 6:30 pm.  There is no payment, but Public House is giving comp drink cards to all volunteers, and you will have access to a food and drink tent.  Contact laura@urbanbikeproject.org for details. 

The Wilmington Grand Prix is set to take place the following Saturday, 5/21.

Editor's aside: I am so glad I chanced upon a link to this on Facebook.  This kind of endeavor, the UBP, is exactly the kind of thing I intended to cover with this blog.  But, having forgotten the exact name of the organization, I'd been trying to Google it to no avail.  I eventually assumed it no longer existed.  But yay, it exists, and now I can commence stalking them for blog post ideas.   Because this is a great thing for Wilmington, and people need to know about it.
