(BEND, Ore.)—They spend the majority of the year traveling across the
country and around the globe for bike races, but for similar reasons they
all choose to call Bend home. And now, Bendites have a rare opportunity to
hear firsthand what motivates these elite riders to compete, what they do to
maintain top form, what their plans are for 2008 and why they choose to live
and train in Bend.
Scheduled for Friday, December 21 at 7pm at the Tower Theatre, the Bend
Cycling Celebration features an informal talk show style format with some of
cycling's biggest names who also happen to be Bend residents, including
Chris Horner, Carl Decker, Adam Craig, Chrissy Ruitter and Megan Elliott.
The panel will be moderated by Anthony McCrossan, head commentator for the
internationally-renown London-based Cycling TV, the world's largest
broadband cycling television company who will simulcast the event globally
on www.cycling.tv.
Admission to the Bend Cycling Celebration is $10 for adults and $5 for kids
age 12 and under, with proceeds benefiting Central Oregon Velo's Youth
Development Program. Doors open at 6pm, and the forum begins at 7pm.
Admission includes a complimentary beer for attendees age 21 and over
courtesy of Bend Brewing Company, or a complimentary soda. Tickets can be
purchased at the Tower Theater box office, online at www.towertheatre.org,
or at Bend Bike N Sport.
Admission also includes the chance to win a number of door prizes, including
ladies and gents cruiser bikes courtesy of Felt and Giant Bicycles,
autographed cycling jerseys, equipment and apparel from a vast array of
manufacturers.
The Bend Cycling Celebration is presented by Central Oregon Velo, Bend Bike
N Sport, Racecenter Northwest, the Bend Visitor & Convention Bureau, Bend
Memorial Clinic, Lowes Commercial Properties and Cycling TV. For more
