Greetings OBRA ?



This email is a reminder notice to all those interested in hosting a

national level rider from south of the equator this summer. International

Cycling for Understanding, a new Portland non- profit, is looking for host

housing volunteers for cyclists visiting this summer. Informational meeting

will be held at 6:00pm on Friday, March 19th at Velocraft-2034 NE Sandy

Blvd. Portland, OR 97232. Feel free to contact me with any questions on

503-235-8445 or email velo_m-@hotmail.com. Please rsvp if you have not

done so already.



ICU riders will be racing together as a team in many OBRA events this

summer. Hosting is a great way to get involved with an amazing athlete and

give a young person from another country a great experience in America.



Cyclists will be visiting for the period:

May 9 - August 6



Or

July 10- October 8



ICU riders are males aged 19-22, and are all national level cyclists in

their home country. Prior to acceptance in the program our riders have been

selected after a lengthy application process including references, essays,

and telephone interviews. For housing, they will need:



1.) A warm bed in a private room

2.) Access to a bathroom

3.) Some cupboard space for food and access to a kitchen

4.) Help getting their act together in the US including help with meals,

shopping, and transportation



The best hosting situations will be those located within a 20 minute bike

ride of downtown Portland with close access to public transportation. ICU

will be visiting hosting volunteers prior to making final decisions on

hosting arrangements.



Regards-



David Nute
