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.

The Logistics Plus Turkey Team successfully delivered 13 brewery tanks to a factory in downtown Izmir, Turkey. Dimensions for this project cargo were 9 units of 22.00m x 6.66m x 6.82m each 31 tons, and 4 units of 20.00m x 5.11m x 5.25m each 24 tons.
The project required significant engineering and precision. 13 brewery tanks; 12 nights; 4 police cars; 4 escort cars; 2 bucket trucks; and a total of 42 people all in one convoy! Traffic lights, closed-circuit televisions, and tags on the route all had to be removed, and electricity had to be cut throughout the route for safe transportation. The route was to a downtown location, so the movement required accurate planning across several divisions.
We’d like to thank all who contributed in this great project. Here is a video showcasing some photographs from this project.
