Saturday Poolside Après
Think Spa for you bike. Meet poolside for an informative après, (hot pools if it's 'rolling thunder, pouring raining'.) We'll go over bike care essentials plus finish answering the remaining questions you have too. (These sessions are quickly becoming one of my favorite part of the weekend.) The first drink (alcoholic or non) and some light appies are on us.
