Bike Club Details:
We're excited to be working with a new Bike Club program partner, The Denver School of Science & Technology, teaching bike maintenance skills to 11th and 12th grade students during the school day on Tuesdays and Fridays.
We're also continuing our longstanding partnership with The Denver School of International Studies to provide the after school version of "Bike Club" to 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students again this fall. Were still figuring out the day of the week we'll be working with DCIS.
TFK Boulder will be supporting after school bike clubs at Casey on Thursdays and, likely, Centennial Middle (day tbd) Schools this fall. The TFKB version of "Bike Club" is focused on getting the kids out riding and will also include Cross racing skills sessions and fun, practice races in partnership with the Boulder Middle Cross program. The final Middle Cross Bike Fest event and race with all participating schools is planed for November 11th.

Help TFK Win a $25K Grant from Clif Bar!
I've mentioned the Clif 2-Mile Challenge in previous TFK newsletters, but I just wanted to ask for everyone again to sign-up and help TFKD/B secure valuable cash funding!
TFK National is competing against two other bike oriented non-profit
for a $25k grant from Clif Bar. Trips for Kids Denver/Boulder will have
the opportunity to submit a proposal to TFK National to receive a
portion of these funds.
The Challenge has been going on for a few months and TFK has been in 1st
place the entire time with a comfortable 10% point cushion over the 2nd
place team. The 2nd place team has been mounting a charge over the
last few weeks and cut the lead to about 5% of total points. Help!
Please sign-up here: http://2milechallenge.com
Join team Red now! Please consider sharing this information with your network,
spreading the word so others will join the challenge and help us win this vital
cash award!
