SOCIAL: ride your bike around the bay

[Amy Tanner]

Hey Friends

"Go Greenbelt" is an awesome week long bike ride in April around the entire 
SF  Bay put on by Greenbelt Alliance, a land conservation and urban planning 
nonprofit that works to fight spawl development  in the 9 bay area counties. 
  I used to work for Greenbelt and can attest to what important work they do 
- and that they do it well!

Go Greenbelt is short on riders this year, and as a result this may be the 
last year to ride - so now's your chance!  And maybe your last!

A friend of mine's boss who cannot make the ride this year is willing to 
sponsor one rider and a friend for $250 each.  That's quite a deal!

Let me know if you are interested and I'll find out more.

Here's info on Go Greenbelt

And below is an email from my friend's boss.
