If you’re interested in participating in great charity race – please come to the Supermarket Street Sweep! It’s our 6th year, and it benefits the SF Food Bank. The event takes place on December 3rd and there’s two categories: SPEED and CARGO. SPEED = go around to grocery stores and buy food as quickly as possible (we give you the list of stores to shop at and the shopping list) and CARGO = bring back as much as possible.
We have awesome sponsors this year, including Ritte van Vlaanderen who are throwing in a Bosberg or Crosberg frame; Montano Velo’s donating a Volume frame and fork; Burley and Box Dog are donating a trailer – and much more!
