In order to do El Tour (and not have to pay full price for entry) we have the opportunity to do work trade with the PBAA and for the first time this year, with Ben's Bells. All riders between the ages of 13 and 18 must put in 10 hours of work trade, PLUS contribute $20 in donation to charity. This is something that El Grupo will expect you to come up with...either on your own, asking friends or relatives, teachers, etc. to support you in this ride. As for the work trade, here are your options, starting with next Monday, Nov. 2nd.
Monday, Nov. 2nd at Bens Bells (University & Euclid, Geronimo Plaza) from 3:30pm to 6:30pm. Please be on time as we will receive instructions by Jeanette at the start. Painting beads, lots of fun!
Monday, Nov. 9th at Bens Bells - more of the same, 3:30pm to 6:30pm
Saturday, Nov. 14th at Bens Bells- 6am to set up for "indoor el tour" before you head over to the swap meet
There will also be opportunities for packet stuffing and patching tubes, and Nelson is looking into this. More on this to come. But please mark down the next two Mondays for Bens Bells to hang out and paint beads together.
There will NOT be shop hours this next Monday as we will all be at Bens Bells.
Questions? don't wait to ask!

Tube patching work trade can be done by El Grupo riders taking part in El Tour anytime the PBAA office is open. Just go to PBAA (2609 E Broadway), ask for Sheila, sign in on the volunteer sign in sheet, and patch to your heart's content. All materials are provided - even leaking tubes. Riders that do both work trade sessions at Ben's Bells will have six work trade hours, so will need to do an additional four hours of work trade (e.g. patching) to fulfill the work trade requirement. Do not wait until the last minute to get these hours in - it's ten hours or bust. Peace, love, and bicycle grease. Nelson
