NORTH RIVER RACING RIDES WITH

THE WASHINGTON STATE SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND



The North River Racing Team has hooked up with the Washington State

School for the Blind to raise funds for the School's tandem bike riding

program. This past year various North River racers and other local bike

enthusiasts teamed up with student's from the School on tandem bikes,

taking rides throughout the Vancouver area. It was a fun and rewarding

experience for both the students and the volunteers. The Washington

State School for the Blind is located in Vancouver, WA and attracts

students from throughout the state. Most of these students leave their

families for the week and live on the campus during the school year.

Anxious to get out and get active, our stoker/captain teams set out   to

explore the Vancouver area and experience its many sites of interest.



On July 31st members of the North River Racing squad will participate

along with many other cycling teams from throughout the West Coast

(California, Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Montana, Nevada, and Canada) in

a select bicycle event to be held for the very first time in downtown

Vancouver, WA. The Vancouver Courthouse Criterium is the first ever

series of bicycle races to be held in downtown Vancouver The figure 8

course offers spectacular spectator views of what we expect will be

wild and woolly races throughout the day.    



Funds raised from sponsorships and race fees will go to benefit students

at the School. Please plan to join us for the July 31st races and if you

are able and interested in helping sponsor the race - part of the

proceeds of which go to Washington State School for the Blind - please
