Call for Tour de Fat Volunteers

The proceeds from Tour de Fat go to four local bicycle groups — Tempe Bicycle Action Group, Mountain Bike Association of Arizona , the Tempe-based Bicycle Saviours, and the Central Arizona Mountain Bike Patrol.

In addition to the good karma that comes with helping raise money for bicycle advocacy in the greater PHX metro area, you’ll have a great time pouring beer, selling TdF gear and spreading the love. Plus, you get a Tour de Fat shirt and two free beer tokens for enjoying when you are not volunteering. How could you pass this up?

Look at the info below (click “Read the rest of this entry”) and then email the required details to: [email protected]

UPDATE (Oct. 7th, 2008):
Volunteer slots for the first and second shifts are full! If you are interested in volunteering, we still need people to help out with beer pouring and ID checking during the third shift (2:15-4 PM) and tear sown following the event.
