We are really excited that cyclist and woodworker, Harry Geyer, asked us if we wanted to use The Wheel Mill for this event--nearly all his ramps and obstacles are made from reclaimed material. I think this is the first time the public is allowed into the Wheel Mill, though I could be wrong... it is really cool!.

thanks everyonen for coming out. it was great to see so many bike-faces i recognized as i poured beer!
we wished we could have had the event throughout the wheel mill so you could see the progress being made there, but it just wasn't possible. cant wait til it opens though---it is AMAZING what they are building in there!
