The Movie "Pedal Driven" coming November 19th

The movie/event, "Pedal Driven", will be coming November 19th. This movie is a bike-umentary put together by IMBA. Though it is mountain bike focused, it's really about bike advocacy and working with local governement officials. We are inviting the entire biking community to this event (mtb, road, bmx, free style, and cyclo-cross). There will be attendees from different government agencies as well. So if you or anyone you know is interesting in bicycle advocacy come to the event. It will be at the Burrito Gallery downtown (21 East Adams Street (904) 598-2922) at 6:30pm on November 19. Most of the local bike shops will be set up in the parking lot as well.

We are planning a mountain bike / camping weekend November 4 - 6 at Fats in South Carolina. This event is in honor of Rebekah Gleason, and to be held a couple of weeks before her hip surgery. We chose that local, because it has more non-riding options for non-riders to amuse themselves in additions to having some of the best trails in the South East. If you are interested in participating, contact Rebekah Gleason  for more information. Also look to our facebook page for developments.
