We will have TONS of great items for our silent auction and raffle, like gift certificates to breweries Center of the Universe, Final Gravity, and Triple Crossing, bicycle-related accessories, clothing, and items from bicycle shops like Blue Ridge Cyclery, Conte’s Bike Shop, and Pedal Power. And so. much. more! Previous years have been a bounty of winnable items for attendees because almost everyone who participates in the silent auction and raffle will go home with something!
RABA Member, Ride Leader, and Annual Summer Picnic Grill master John Senn will be making a HUGE pot of gumbo for all attendees. BUT, we would love to have other soups to offer or provide a non-meat option. Bring your best pot of deliciousness to share!
