HRBike president, Tim Harrison, says there are three important things to know about the 2016 ERV100. First, retired cycling superstars George Hincapie & Christian Vande Velde will attend the ride; second, the date of the ERV has changed to Sunday, August 28 to accommodate their appearance; and third, George Powell is the coordinator of this year’s event!

Yes, you read that right! Hincapie and Vande Velde will be riding the ERV100 this year. Quite possibly it is a once in a lifetime happening for two famous cyclists to ride with us here in Tullahoma, so you will want to be there! Early registration pricing ($65) for the ERV will continue through July 10. Early registration gets you all the great SWAG (t-shirt, mug & more) and entry for a variety of prizes including a spectacular $1000 grand prize Gold Level Registration at the Hincapie Gran Fondo in S. Carolina.

George Powell, vice-president of HRBike, is the ERV100 coordinator this year and would love to have your support and assistance. We expect the number of cyclists to increase exponentially and want these riders to have a great experience riding the beautiful roads we get to enjoy every day. There are numerous ways you can be involved – things to be done in advance of the ride and things to do the day of the event. George Powell is the man to ask what you can do to help. As we all know, if everyone does a little bit we can make something really great.

ERV100 sponsors are being added daily. Perhaps your business or your employer would like to be involved too. Please let Debbie Emadian know of possible sponsors.

Please step up and help with the 2016 ERV100…you will be glad you did. Learn more on the website www.ERV100.org.
