Ladies and gentlemen, start your...bicycles! Island Brewing Company will host a Slow Bike Race on Saturday February 28th from 12:00 - 4:00 pm. 'Wait, wait, wait, what exactly is a Slow Bike Race,' you may be asking. Here's how it works: contestants will ride a two-wheeled bicycle over a fixed course, aiming for the longest interval of time. Slowest bike wins (feet go down, and you're out, no fixed gears, or fancy shoes please!).
The format will include three divisions: 12 and under, 13-17, and 18 and over. The slowest three in each division will then compete for victory, bragging rights, and prizes. In short, it will be fun for the whole family. "This is an event that we've wanted to do for a long time," says founder and owner Paul Wright. "The competition should be fun and fierce across all age groups. Moments of hilarity are pretty much guaranteed."
There will be a $10 entry fee per rider 21 and over and $5 entry for under 21, proceeds which will be used to benefit the Carpinteria Children's Project to purchase bicycles from Trek Bikes of Ventura which will also be donating to the event. So start riding slow and slower and slower and we'll see you then.
