What do you get when you put the high tech community (aka peanut butter) together with the twowheeling community (aka chocolate)? Answer: Reese Cups!
No, not really.............you get the first annual Hi Lo event. The weekend event starts next Saturday June 27 at 10 am from the parking lot of Progressive Medical in Westerville, where 50+ cyclists will ride 50 miles through the scenic Ohio countryside to the Morgan Farm in Knox County where we'll have a massive cookout, music (recorded and, we hope, live and even an open mic), and lots of adult beverages (courtesy of Steve Clark, the "beer meister" and Dale Crandell, the wine--er). Folks are welcome to bring their tents, camp out and join us for the 50 mile ride home on Sunday morning. If you only wish to ride one-way, there'll be plenty of vehicles to hitch a ride back to town Saturday night or Sunday morning.
If you're not a cyclist, you're welcome to drive your "box" to the farm to join us (but plan to be converted). Just contact me at dmorgan@calfee.com and I'll send you driving directions. (But, come to thinkg of it, if you're not a cyclist, what the hell are you doing on this blog?)
The motivation for Hi Lo is our hope and vision that in the not too distant future CBus will be the city with the most high tech jobs in the U.S., but we'll be using low tech transportation, i.e. bicycles, to get to them! We think this is a great vision for our community and we want to start to spread this vision at Hi Lo.
Please go to http://hilobikeride.wordpress.com/ to sign up for Hi Lo. This event is weather permitting. If per chance we get rained out on the 27th, we've reserved July 11 as the rain date.
We hope to see you at Hi Lo 2009!
