Organizers of the Nature Valley Bicycle Festival are seeking host families and volunteers during the Nature Valley Grand Prix, which begins June 12 and concludes five days later on Chilkoot Hill in Stillwater.
Last summer Heather Hampton, owner and instructor for Baby Boot Camp in Woodbury, opened her home to two pro cyclists from the Nature Valley Grand Prix bike race. "We were able to enjoy a couple meals with them and relished in all the information they provided on the subject of road bike racing," Hampton wrote in a June 2012 blog post. "Since my husband and I would rather hit a mountain bike trail instead of the road, we found the subject of road bike racing to be a whole new world.
