[Rick McFerrin]

Dear Friends of Two Wheel View / Trips for Kids Twin Cities:

Here are some events and volunteer activities coming up very soon and in the 
next month with Two Wheel View / Trips for Kids Twin Cities. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Two Wheel View, a local nonprofit organization, uses the bicycle as a tool to 
expand the life experience of young people; teaching kids to overcome obstacles 
on the trail and in life. TWV/TFK coordinates local, regional and international 
mountain bike adventures for primarily urban youth. 

Thanks for your support! Rick McFerrin

BIKE MECHANICS: This Saturday, April 17: 11:00 – 4:00 (or until all the bikes 
are ready to ride): Bikes, BBQ, and BREW (or any other food or beverage of 
choice). We will be working on 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.

ARGENTINA SHOW: This Sunday, April 18, 4:00-6:00: “Bicycle Adventure in

last year on the Argentina Bike Trip - refreshments, giveaways, mini-raffle

in Argentina this summer.
