Food at Big Bike BashThe party will feature music, drinks, light dinner, silent and live auctions, a raffle, and a short program with awards for our special guests of honor. Don't miss the antique bike collection (from pre-war/post-war to 1953 vintage) that will be provided by Rudy Contratti of Fairfax. Enjoy a social evening with your bicycling friends, while shopping for bargain bike and non-bike items, and feasting on a delicious dinner and dessert.

The Big Bike Bash is free to current members. New members can join at the door for the discounted rate of $25/person or $45/family.

Check out the growing list of donations for the auctions and raffle. There will be numerous wonderful items to choose from, including beautiful artwork.

Silent Auction at Big Bike BashPromote your own business or invite a friend to market their product or service to our guests –a soothing massage, a free dinner for two at your restaurant, a weekend in your time share.
