Lyons Whitewater Project

Just a reminder that on Sunday we are having a fundraiser at Oskar Blues to raise money to build a new kayak hole just downstream from the new bridge in Lyons. There is diversion that comes from Carter Lake that runs all the way until Oct 31 hence the name of the feature "The October Hole". The only one of its kind on the front range. Even though this has nothing to do with biking, there is a ton of stuff to be auctioned that has been donated by local outdoor companies such as sleeping bags, backpacks, shoes etc. Check the link below the for a list of all the items. Redstone cyclery was kind enough to donate a Schwinn bike (Thanks a ton Dave). 25 bucks get you an all you can eat buffet and access to the band "Whitewater Ramble". Doors open at 4 and will go to 10pm. This event is completely non-smoking so bring the family please. Help support the town of Lyons in becoming the outdoor enthusiasts destination whether it be biking or boating, its all good. Maybe someday Dave and I will go into business together with a bike and boat store. Wouldn't that be sweet (I'm sure Arn would want in on that deal).

Tell everyone you know and even if you don't want the gear, you can't beat 25 bucks for a full meal and kick ass music.

That bike is kickass with the Xtracycle, too!

Saw Dale at the local beer store serving up corned beef and cabbage and beercanchicken. He says that bike you donated was real nice.
