....and the winner is...
Tonight, we were thrilled to award Bicycle Brüstop's beautiful red Giant Talon 24 Lite Bike to Daniel Mikkola. Daniel didn't only win a brand new bike, but he also raised an incredible $5,075 for CTE Programs in NUSD! Congratulations Daniel, and thank you for playing such a big part in the Tour of Novato fundraising endeavor.
We are excited to announce that Almas Siddiqui won the Rustic Bakery gift pack complete with various cookies and crackers, and the Cleary Family who won a six month Redwood Bikeshare membership which can be used to get around town!
Thank you to Bicycle Brüstop, and for the amazing drawing prizes.

We were so excited to see how much fun our winner William Paulson had during his lunch with a couple friends, Principal Amanda Langford and photographer Dr. Tracy Smith. William was the winner of our "Lunch with Our Superintendent!" by registering for the Tour of Novato! Thank you William for joining us for the ride.
But, William could still win a bike because fundraising continues through May 25th! Every $100 he raises, another "ticket" is placed in the bike drawing. Help William win a bike, and donate at www.tourofnovato.org.
