It's Good Clean Fun!

the acre anniversary party is coming up on sat, aug 26. more about it will be finalized at the acre meeting this sunday but keep an eye out for items you could donate to the yard sale. 1304bikes will get part of the proceeds.

the carrboro and asheville recyclery's are both interested in a gathering of nc non-profit bike groups. we are thinking late fall for that. let me know if you want to do some organizing for this event and what times you could meet to start planning. i think the idea is for the triangle groups to plan/host the event and anyone else in nc can attend.

if you already commute by bike/bus or other non-traditional method or if you are interested in trying, check this out:

From Aug. 15 to Sept. 30 anyone who drives to work or campus in Wake, Durham or Orange counties can enter to win two roundtrip airline tickets anywhere in the continental U.S. plus a week's hotel stay by taking the SmartCommute Challenge. Participation is easy! Go to http://www.SmartCommuteChallenge.org/ and pledge that at least once between Aug. 15 - Sept. 30, you will try an alternative to the "one person per car" status quo. That means you'll promise to carpool, vanpool, bike, walk, take the bus (CAT, DATA, TTA, C-TRAN, Chapel Hill Transit), or work from home at least once before the Challenge ends.

It's free. It's good for the Triangle. And you might win a prize!

and finally, come out and work this sunday!

thanks,
kelly
