This is the first I have heard of this. I only wish I had the time to participate. Anyway, just the very sight of that many bikes in one place is enough to make you dizzy, lol.,,,,BD

They just had a charity bike build in Greensboro, NC sponsered by the local Hooters employees. It's only 80 miles away but I couldn't get out of my family obligations to be there.
