KBS auctioning a hot lap for World Bicycle Relief

The Kelly Benefit Strategies (KBS) Pro Cycling team is auctioning off a "hot lap" in the team car to benefit World Bicycle Relief (WBR). The winner of the eBay-based auction, already underway, will get behind-the-scenes access to all the action as the KBS team race in the 25th Annual TD Bank Philadelphia International Cycling Championship on June 7. The hot lap auction will end Saturday, June 6 at 2:36 pm Eastern time.

"We're excited to give one race fan the ride of their life in one of the biggest races in North America today," said team performance director Jonas Carney.

The KBS Pro Cycling Team committed to raising awareness and funds for World Bicycle Relief throughout the 2009 season. As part of the partnership, KBS athletes will travel to Africa at the end of the season to witness first-hand how the WBR's funds are put into action.
