NorCal League takes silent auction online

The NorCal High School Mountain Bike League of California has expanded its silent auction to include online bidding for those unable to attend the CycleFest fundraiser weekend in person. The League hopes the more widespread auction will boost league finances.

Bidding began on October 23 and will end at 10:00 pm on November 8, at the 5th annual CycleFest gala dinner, held at the Mill Valley Community Center. Over the years, the dinner and auction have proved to be major fund raisers for the NorCal league.

The auction includes some 70 items from brand-name manufacturesr, theater and ballgame tickets, vacations, century rides, bicycles and bicycle components, clothing, eyewear, artwork and photography, wine and wine tours, and hi-tech products.

"It's the first time we have run an online auction fundraiser, and we want cyclists from all over to help start us off on a high note," said Katie DeClercq.
