Two Weeks Away!
Have you registered yet? Invite some friends and make a fun night out of it! There's not much better combination than food, wine, the greatest bike race in the world, and supporting an empowered community thriving through bicycles. PLUS, there'll be great donor rewards you don't want to miss out on.
We dove into a week of Apprentice Training in June, covering all the bases for shop operations, and throwing in some fun mountain biking and team building in as well. Our three new students started working last week and are eager to serve you and repair your bicycle. So far their favorite parts have been repairing bicycles, meeting and learning about new people, and collaborating with coworkers. They are a bright crew and are off to a solid start at Village Wrench!
