A ribbon-cutting ceremony for a newly constructed bicycle “pump track” will be held Friday, May 7, 2010 at 6:00 pm at North Augusta’s Riverview Park. Festivities will include bike demos, music and free organic hot dogs courtesy of Applegate Farms. The pump track is located at the old Riverview Park campgrounds, next to the water works.
Immediately following the grand opening, at 7:00 pm, “Wheel Impact” will host a group ride from the pump track into downtown Augusta, finishing at the International Mountain Bike Association World Summit Expo. Located at 9th Street and Riverwalk, the Expo will feature bike demos, outdoor gear, apparel and more. The Expo is open from 1:00-8:00 pm on Friday.
All events are free and anyone who enjoys riding a bike is encouraged to attend. However, all group ride participants must wear helmets.
