About this Event
Overview
Debra McCulloch Hopkins has been an integral part of the Cape Cod MTB community for many years. Soon she will be relocating to Vermont and she wants to celebrate with her mountain biking friends before the move. Deb has graciously secured a venue and a band and asked Cape Cod NEMBA to put all the pieces together to create a great day that will double as a fundraiser for the MTB community here on the Cape. Here is a quick summary of the event...
We'll kick off the festivities with a mountain bike ride along Cape Cod's majestic National Seashore. After the ride, we will regroup at The Block & Tackle for food and beverages. Your ticket includes a complimentary beer from Lawson's Finest Liquids. Once our appetites have been satiated, we'll rock out to a live performance by The Grab Brothers Band.
