Cool event this Friday - learn how to build a bike stand, drink Goose Island Beer

Hey Chainlinkers, we just threw this together late last week with WXRT, Goose Island and Craftsman Experience...we wanted to make sure you knew about it.

Want to learn how to build a stand for your bike and enjoy complimentary Goose Island Beer? Who wouldn't?

Join 93XRT and the Active Trans on Friday, May 13 from 6 p.m.- 8 p.m. at the Craftsman Experience, 233 W. Huron, Chicago, for an MB Financial Bike the Drive pre-event party.

Enjoy complimentary beer from Goose Island and learn how to easily build a bike stand at home from the experts at Craftsman Experience.

While you're there, you can register for the main event, MB Financial Bank Bike the Drive, which happens on Sunday, May 29.

Good work on the BTD promotion Ethan. I feel like I can't get away from it (maybe in part because I have XRT on all day). Various people I know though various channels have announced they're registered in the past few days. I've got a feeling attendance this year is going to top previous numbers.

Wish you would also make it a registration packet pick location. Save me another trip.

Thanks Howard, we're definitely ahead of the game, but it's still a little scary because of the last-minute weather watchers. Keeping our fingers crossed for a great fundraiser and fun ride!

Len, sorry we can't do that but our office is available for packet pick up next week. We're close to Craftsman Experience.

And, Len, thanks for signing up!

Hope folks can make it to this, looking forward to seeing how they build the wooden stands for storing or displaying bikes.

Thanks,

Ethan, with Active Trans
