We hope you’re free next Monday evening, May 7, to join LP employees Tim Scharf, Ryan McGregor, Kelly Dempsey, and Owen Rader (Holly‘s husband) at the Brewerie for the city’s first-ever indoor bicycle race. They’ll be racing against world-class cyclist Mario Mazza – seriously don’t ask how they got roped into this one – but they really need a cheering section. The night will be a lot of fun and everyone there will have a chance to win two passes to Buffalo’s Skyride with an overnight stay at the Westin Hotel.
This is not a fundraiser – it’s a happy hour for good friends to get together, enjoy some craft beer and build awareness for Lake Erie Cyclefest.
