[morc] April- May events and rides

[Rick McFerrin]

Dear MORC members: 

Here are some events and volunteer activities coming up in the next month with 
Two Wheel View / Trips for Kids Twin Cities. TVW/TFK, a local nonprofit 
organization, is an affiliate member of MORC with a mission to get more young 
people on mountain bikes. TWV/TFK coordinates local, regional and international 
mountain bike trips for primarily urban, underserved, at risk youth. 

Thanks for your support! 
Rick McFerrin

Volunteer Opportunities (Please let Rick know if you plan to participate in any 
of these activities: Rick McFerrin (612) 874-1895 or 
rick.mcferrin at twowheelview.org)

Saturday, April 17: 10:30 – 4:00 (or until all the bikes are ready to ride): 
Bikes, BBQ, and BEER (or any other food or beverage of choice). This is an 
activity for adult volunteers (kids at heart) to do the basic bike ABC’s: air, 
brakes and cranks ---- help get the 23 program bikes ready to ride for the 
season. Activities will include basic bike maintenance and repairs, lubing 
chains, fixing flats, airing up tires to proper inflation, cleaning water 
bottles, adjusting and fixing helmets, and inventory of equipment. I will fire 
up a few grills and have a few coolers on hand to make this activity not seem 
like all work and no play. If you want to help out, please call Rick at (612) 
874-1895 to get the details on where this will take place.

Sunday, April 18, 4:00-6:00: “Bicycle Adventure in Argentina” slide show, 
refreshments, giveaways, mini-raffle (little things from Surly, ERIK’s, REI and 
more). WHERE: Trotters Café and Bakery; 232 North Cleveland Ave; St. Paul. 
Donations appreciated to help Aaron Ehlers and Blasie Pourpore (two kids from 
St. Paul) fundraise for a bike trip in Argentina this summer. 

Friday, April 23: 10:00 – 1:30 mountain bike ride at the River Bottoms 
(Bloomington Ferry parking lot) with St. Paul Public School.

Friday, May 7: 10:00-1:30 mountain bike ride at Battle Creek (Community Center 
parking lot) with St. Paul Public School.

Ride volunteers must read and sign the Two Wheel View / Trips for Kids Twin 
Cities Waiver and bring it on the day of the ride. The form is available at
