“Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride.” ~John F. Kennedy

Here at BikeTown we couldn’t agree more. We love riding our bikes and want to help as many people as we can love riding their bikes, too.

Thursday, October 7, 2010

It's the first Thursday of the month, so that means it's time trial time! Not only that, but this is October so it is the LAST road time trial of the season. Meet us out at Mueller's at 6:00 for sign-up. Like always, the first rider will take off at 6:30. This is an event for everyone - fast, slow, and everywhere in-between. Test yourself and race against the clock. Remember to bring your non-perishable food item for your entry fee. All the food items will be donated to the Food Bank. If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call.

Check back tonight for results. Hope to see you there!
