The Night Ride

It’s a big week for bike events. This weekend is the Night Ride and they need volunteers:

Just an hour or two of your time is all that is required and most of it can be done while you are out enjoying the different festival happenings. None it requires anything in the way of labor or heavy lifting. If you can help out email bikejax@gmail.com

  1. I need a couple of people to split time and help out at Fuel (festival central)
  2. I need a couple of people to hawk raffle tickets throughout the day. (Can be done while out enjoying the fest.)
  3. I am going to need several ride guides for The Night Ride itself.
  4. I am in need of a couple of people with digital video cameras that would be willing to document the event in all of it’s glory.

Here is the massive Night Ride schedule. The Night Ride is a day long celebration of the bicycle and it’s rider. All events are Free to all that attend and are held throughout Riverside and Five Points.
