We came, we saw, we ate chili… COPIOUS amounts of chili!
Those who left hungry from last weekend’s 3rd Annual Hometown Bicycles Chili Cook-Off didn’t do it right!
We reached an all-time record participation with 16 chili entries ranging from spicy and gamey to mild and vegetarian. Congratulations to Team Hometown’s Jack Riddle, who won the Cook-Off trophy with a Bacon Onion Chili that might arguably have been to die for. (Bacon! Who’s with me?!)
An impressive number of riders braved the bitter wet-cold to launch our 2018/19 Winter Fat Bike Friendly Shop Ride. We warmed ’em back up with bowls of piping hot chili and a friendly competition on our Zwift trainer set-up!
Shaun was feelin’ the love from all of the birthday wishes brought his way. A warm-hearted “Thanks!!” to all of you who attended – and cooked and baked and fueled his lottery passion – to make his 40th birthday celebration one he’ll always remember! Can’t wait for next year’s event!
