Hello A4Bers & Welcome to our newest members that were gathered at the Tamarancho Dirt Classic and our Women of Dirt Celebration! Both great events for our cause. Much thanks goes out to Julia Violich and crew who organized the Tamarancho Dirt Classic and to our own Heidi Adler, who did a fabulous job with the Women of Dirt Event!
There are more fantastic events on the schedule for September and October, last in chronological order, but number one for A4B is Biketoberfest. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and we need your help to pull it off. Please consider helping us out this year by volunteering (free beer tasting to those that do!). All the info is below.
