Groveport Grand Prix

`Thank you to all our volunteers and especially team C.O.B.C, without everyones hard work we would not be able to put on such a quality race. Granted, it isn't always error free. We have had a few issues in the past years, but we've always come back the next year with an even better event. Thank you also to Mike Price at Fairfield Photography and Christine Graham of Massagebee for providing such professional services.

Re-Cycle

Every year, we take in old bicycles and refurbish them like new, then, give them away. In 2009, we put a spin on an old tradition... we asked for your help. By collecting all your old, unwanted bicycles and parts, we were able to rebuild over 40 bicycles to be recycled back into our community. Your donations helped Canal Winchesters Adopt-a-Family to make not only a few, but several underprivileged children's Christmas wishes a reality.

Contact us if you'd like to be involved at next years event. (614) 833.BIKE (2453) or email us at info@cyclistconnection.com.

Special thanks to the volunteers of the Canal Winchester FFA chapter. Your assistance in this event was unexpected, welcomed and even more so... appreciated.
