Win a Bike Tour
Jan. 31st, 2006 11:10 amThanks to reading a lot of alternative transportation blogs I found out about the Portland Peace and Justice Center and the unique bike tour they're offering this summer. If I had the money I would jump on this in a heartbeat, but I'll just have to hope I win one of the trips. Because I know other people who are into biking and sustainability and I support Portland Peace's cause here's their announcement about the tour:
Bike hundreds of miles. Meet incredible people. Participate in
amazing service projects. Stay on organic farms and work to promote
sustainable food growth practices. Study and work with Native American
communities. Live with the land and camp under the stars.
Change your world, one mile at a time.
