Cycling teams from around the world, including some that have appeared in the Tour de France, will race through Provo on August 11, the second stage of the event.
We want you to know this for three reasons:
1) It's going to be really cool and you may want to watch.
2) If you don't want to watch, you'll want to avoid the roads that will be closed for it.
Streets affected by road and driveway closures from Noon to 3:30 are: South State Street from Springville going North to 900 East; all of 900 East and proceeding down 2230 North to University Ave; north on University to 4800 North; 4800 North 300 West. Race finishes at the Vivint complex at 4931 North 300 West.
3) We need about 300 volunteers to help with Provo Stage 2 of the race. There will be a meeting for volunteers on Wednesday, July 27, at 5:30 p.m., in the Municipal Council Chambers of the City Center, 351 W. Center St. The volunteers will be course marshalls in driveways to keep other people off the course. If you are looking for a service project for your family or group, this would be great one.
(Remember to volunteer for Stage 2!)
Names of two volunteers will be drawn for an iPod or a gift card to LaJolla Grove in Riverwoods.
For additional information please contact Janeen Jones, TOU Volunteer Coordinator at Provo City 801-852-6161 or cell 801-859-6769.
This just in from the organizers of the Tour of Utah:
ReplyDeleteFor those of you who have already registered as a volunteer for the Tour of Utah on August 11th, we are having our volunteer training tonight at 6:30 in the council chambers. If you are still thinking about possibly volunteering, come tonight and learn what its all about.
We are in desperate need of more volunteers, (we have 134 and need 300) so please encourage your fellow employees, family and friends to join in the fun.
