March Chapter Meeting & Bike Demo

Cheryl — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 19:20:57 +0000

Dear fellow mountain bikers, the upcoming GATR Chapter Meeting in March has been moved to Tuesday, March 16th @ Bikeways of Tucker.

In the spirit of keeping things fresh this year, in partnership with Bikeways of Tucker we’ve decided to do something a little different with our March chapter meeting and couple it with demo bikes from the Fuji demo trailer.

Beginning in the early afternoon, you will be able to stop by the shop, take a bike of your choice out for a test ride along with one of our local ride leaders. Then it’s back to the shop at 7 pm for food and beer. We will then start the official chapter meeting and roll off any special announcements that need to be made before finally enjoying the last of the food and beer while hanging out with your fellow cyclists.

Here’s the outline agenda for the evening:

10:00am : (all day) – Fuji demo fleet – road, mountain and cruiser
7:00pm : Meeting begins with food and beverage
7:30pm : Chapter announcements and discussion
8:30pm : Hang out, talk about riding bikes and drink a cold one!

Please bring your own beverage of choice to the meeting, we will provide pizza for a small donation. Might be an idea to bring a chair if sitting down is your thing.
