Midwest Bicycle Fest A Success!

First a big THANKS to everyone who showed up and made the first Midwest Bicycle Fest a success. We guesstimate 120 bikes and 70 participants. Also thanks to all of you who helped get the word out, Tom for making the Peoples Choice trophy and Jack of Morton Choppers for donating the cool mechanics shirts that went to our runners up. I hope everyone had a great time despite the gale force winds. I know some bikes were damaged and I appreciate people taking this risk to share their bikes with the public.

Pat O is the winner of our random drawing from those who signed up for this newsletter. Pat will receive an official Midwest bicycle Fest t-shirt. T-shirts can still be ordered online from the website.

Next year… I don’t see why we won’t repeat this next year. Maybe with a little more organization, more prizes and contests and definitely a parade ride! I believe the location worked out well. There was plenty of room and the bike path is great for test riding the bikes especially for the younger ones.

Once again thanks to everyone and we welcome your comments and suggestions for next years fest. Use the Contact link on the website. Please encourage your bicycle friends to visit the website and sign up for this newsletter. We’ll be in touch again soon.

No Images found.

After reviewing the photos that a couple of us took I remembered there were some really cool bikes that we didn’t get shots of. So many bikes to keep track of. I apologize if your bike didn’t make it onto the photos page.

Festival Nears

Randy Croley was the winner of our drawing and receives a Midwest Bicycle Fest T-shirt. Congratulations Randy!

Peoples Choice Award
The trophy for our Peoples Choice Award is finished. Thanks Tom! You can take a peek at it on the “Photos” page at the Midwest Bicycle Fest website. We will be tallying up the votes for Peoples Choice sometime around 2:00 or 3:00pm the day of the festival. Be sure to stick around to see if you win.

It’s Almost Here
This is the last week to get ready for the festival. Get those bikes finished and shined up. The festival is this coming Sunday the 2nd. See you there!

Win A Bike Fest t-shirt

Win A T-Shirt
We’re giving away a Midwest Bicycle Fest t-shirt. Anyone planning on attending Follow This Link and you could win. We’ll draw the winner this coming Friday (9th).

Trophy
We’ve decided to give out a trophy for “Peoples Choice”. Any bike is eligible. You’ll receive a numbered tag to hang from the handlebars of your bike. The “people” will simply vote for the number of their favorite bike. Should there be a tie the winner will be chosen randomly from the tied bikes.

Midwest Bicycle Fest – October 2nd.

Bike Fest A Sure Thing

Fellow bike enthusiasts… the Midwest Bicycle Fest is a sure thing now. The date is Sunday, October 2nd. Mark your calendar. To get the word out I’ve set up a website MidwestBicycleFest.com and I plan to distribute flyers to the bike shops and elsewhere.
As it stands now the event will be simple and informal. I’m still deciding whether to have voting on the bikes with awards. Maybe just a “peoples choice”. Please reply with any suggestions you have or if you’d like to help in any way.
Help spread the word!
Thanks,
Randy.
