Expo

  A friend of mine is putting this on.  It should be a lot of fun!  Don't miss out.



First event of its kind in WNC. Whether you are a novice or an expert, there will be something here for you. Local experts in various fields of bicycling, including fit experts, mechanic and technical experts will provide information on how to buy and maintain your bike along with tips on personal training. Local cyclists will provide valuable information on where to ride your bike, whether mountain, road, commuting, cycling routes through town, or just for fun. Participating local bicycle businesses will be onsite to answer any questions about their products and services. We live in a paradise for cyclists, so whatever your inclination you will leave the Expo with all sorts of information about how to take advantage of it!
 
To add to the fun and excitement, door prizes await you, as well as screenings of two favorite cycling movies, Breaking Away and the beautiful Triplets of Belleville.
