Recap/Results
Thanks to everyone who showed up throughout the day to partake in some New Belgium Fat Tire samplins'!
New Belgium is a bike-friendly company and it's beers will be an Iowa favorite I'm sure of it!!
Thanks to Joel, Mike and Jeff for coordinating the day's events!
Approx 35 cyclists made the trek from the El Bait Shop to Kelly's on Beaver Ave. Both Iowa and Iowa State games kept many riders from participating. A short beer stop on the Inner-Urban bridge and it was off to Kellys'!
Many cyclists, patrons and beer connoisseurs showed up at El Bait Shop after the ride to listen to Mr. Baber's Neighbors and buy raffle tickets to win the New Belgium bike!
Ironically - Scott Sumpter of BIKEIOWA.com won the bike raffle. Scott bought $20 in tickets (12 chances) minutes before the raffle took place. Over 390 raffle tickets were purchased!
THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO CAME OUT FOR THE FAT TIRE RELEASE PARTY!
