Join us for the March BLT!

Is that a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich? It can be, if you bring your own.

Bike Fort Collins will host another Bicycle Lunch Talk next Wednesday, March 12th, from 12:00 to 1:30pm. Bring a lunch to this BLT event for an informative and safe place to voice your opinions, concerns, likes and dislikes about the simple pleasures of riding a bicycle in Fort Collins.

This month's topic is pro racing. Don't miss this discussion if you're interested in racing, or if you're just curious about the racing scene in Fort Collins. Did you know that some Fort Collins pro racers are poised to garner national and international recognition?

Even if you don't care about racing, but you love bikes, you should come down anyway. These discussions are informal and offer a wonderful opportunity to meet like-minded cycling enthusiasts. We had a great showing last month and shared some wonderful ideas. Future topics will include, but are not limited to:

Getting involved: Making a difference in the Fort Collins cycling community.
Bike Commuting: Basic and advanced.
The Bike Library for non-readers.
Best Rides in Fort Collins.
Adventure cycling...and much more.  

Pack your lunch, jot down your ideas, your questions and concerns, and pedal down to the Home State Bank at 303 East Mountain Avenue. Meetings are held in the community conference room in the lower level of the bank. We're just diagonal from the Fort Collins Food COOP.  Bring your own BLT to the BLT. See you there!
