OUR MOST EXCELLENT BIKE SHOP FRIENDS

The Lakeside 120 has the great luxury of partnering with...not one...but TWO of central-Ohio's most respected and well-known bike shops: New Albany's VeloScience Bike Works and Canal Winchester's Cyclist Connection.

Geoff Clark is the owner of VeloScience and has been our SAG trailer driver for four years.  He is the guy tirelessly and patiently pulling the red trailer behind the peloton.  He's also one of our master mechanics! We cannot count how many ways Geoff has helped our riders make the long trek - either with an on-the-spot repair or by graciously lending a rider his personal equipment.  Tell Geoff that you are a Lakeside 120 rider and he will take care of you!

Ric Nolan is the gent behind our other top-notch shop partner.  As the owner of Cyclist Connection, he has been the go-to guy for over twenty-five years in the Pickerington, Canal Winchester and Lancaster area.  This will be Ric's third year biking the 120 and is another one of our on-the-spot mechanics!  

Additionally, Ric is throwing another pre-ride party for our riders!  This year's newly-christened "Bash BeforeThe Bash" is happening on
Sunday, June 30th!  The agenda is as follows:

0900 - Ride Leaders Meeting
1000 - Pre-Ride Pep Talk and LKSD Jersey Distribution
1100 - 40-mile Ride (weather permitting)
1330 - Party on The Patio with music, pizza and beer/pop/water

We look forward to seeing everybody there!
