I’ll need to know the make, model, year and other cool stuff about your bike for signage. This will be the finest assembly of bikes Hollandale has ever witnessed. Awards for people’s choice, people’s choice Varsity (best low-end bike) and host’s choice (that’s me). And swag for just attending - tee shirt, cap and other crap.

Swap

Do the same after the ride on Saturday if you wish, it’s a free country. And while the country may be free, the refreshments, food, swag and prizes are not. A donation to cover costs for each attendee and RSVP is expected. info@centenariobartali.com for, well, more info. Or you can pm me.
