New Belgium will return to Durham in 2012 with a fun-filled day of biking, beer and festivities! The event will be held at the American Tobacco Campus on June 23.

This year's Tour will once again benefit cycling related charities: NCATA, Triangle Spokes, the Durham Bike Co-op, and the Durham Bike and Pedestrian Advisory Committee. These nonprofits have been asked to recruit volunteers to help serve beer, staff the merchandise table, assist in the bike parade, and staff the valet bike parking station.
