Risibisi Ride - Febbraio - Tour of California Edition

Food and cycling - what could be a better combination? Ride to eat, eat to ride! Bici Sport is partnering with Risibisi’s celebrity chef, Fabio Flagiello to create monthly Saturday morning rides with gourmet brunch afterwards at Risibisi Restaurant. Mmm, mmmm good. Where else can you eat a gourmet meal in lycra?

For February, join the newest women’s NRC team, Team Vanderkitten. This will be the only time this season the entire team will be together! Many of you are familiar with this awesome day, and add to that 12 Vanderkitten racers riding along with you and you've got the experience of the year!

To add to the fun there will be a Queen and a King of the Mountain competition up Wilson Hill and Marshall Wall. Prizes will be given to the best overall placing man and woman up these climbs.

And who knows what other cycling celebrities will be along for the ride the day before the Tour of California starts? Some former Italian pro’s...?
Space will be limited so RSVP early to reserve your spot. Please RSVP by Thursday, February 14th to flagichef1@hotmail.com

There will be a faster “A” ride and a slower and not so hilly “B” ride. Pick your poison.

Please bring a check for $35 dollars to the beginning of the ride. The $35 will cover the cost of the menu, tax and tip.

Rain will cancel the ride but lunch will still be served and eaten.
