VeloScience Vintage Rally to benefit Columbus Humane

While VeloScience Bike Works is all about using the newest innovations and technology to enhance your cycling experience, we do still have a soft place in our hearts for the bikes of our youth that helped us find our love of cycling.  We love to occasionally break out the old steel rig and wool jersey and throw down on a club ride!  Thats what this ride is about - reconnecting with the machines - and adventures - that made us fall in love with this beautiful sport!
Come join us for the coolest group ride youll do all year!  Ride the oldest bike you own (or can borrow!), wear the gear that reflects a lost era, and celebrate the heritage of cycling.  Well roll from VeloScience together at 9:00 am on Sunday, April 28, 2024 for a relaxed, conversational cruise over a flat to gently rolling 40-mile course.  Behind us a 1953 Chevrolet pickup will perform SAG duties.  The GPS route wont be published, because heck, you didnt need that in the good old days, right?  Old fashioned queue sheets will be available for those who fear getting lost.  Well stop for espresso and pastries midway (electrolytes...what?), and there will be Coca-Cola if you need some sugar and sodium.
After the ride, well host a BBQ on our patio, complete with adult beverages and live music that reflects the vintage styling of the event from the amazing Angela Perley and her band!  Theyll perform two 60-minute sets, so plan to stick around for this special performance!
Well have some terrific prizes for a variety of categories....Scratchiest Wool Jersey, for example...so use your imagination, and do your best to follow the spirit of the event.  Authenticity is key, but we wont discriminate if you join in the fun without digging deep into cycling history.  And as a bonus:  there will be PUPPIES! Because all the profits from this event will benefit Columbus Humane.  All of us at VeloScience are parents of adopted dogs or cats, and we love to promote a great cause.
Helmets are required, no matter how much they clash with your vintage gear, but we wont stop you if you wear a leather hairnet helmet from the 70s!
