Event Description
Geekhouse Open House

Marty and the Lower Allston 5 are throwing their yearly Open (Geek)House during MassBike and MassDot’s Bay State Bike Week. The crowds will gather at 3PM on Saturday May 22nd.

Per usual, beer! Also, a raffle and free BBQ (while supplies last) with all ticket sales and donations going directly to the Autism Society of America on behalf of our first sponsored charity ride, Tour de Geek.

Open your hearts and recycled inner tube wallets in support of our 1Power4Autism ride from Boston to San Francisco. Gregory and Bianca will be dancing it up at the open house because they are graduating on May 23rd and then leaving one week later on June 1st- what a week! Come say ‘Hi’ and ‘Bye’ to these two before they take the first ever coast to coast ride on, not one but TWO, Geekhouse Bikes!

We love our local bike community and we simply wouldn’t exist without the support of our tightly knit community of family, friends, designers, engineers, loan disbursement officials, welders, fellow frame-builders, mailmen, and of course the cycling advocates that BSBW is all about.

Before the party: join us on a relaxed pace ride from 12-2. Bring your Geekhouse! More info on our blog.

Ride. Party. Repeat.

Guys,
I’m having my annual Open House/BBQ on Sat May 16th from 4pm until later. We’re going to have a bunch of free beer, and also veggie burgers, and pizza from Upper Crust. All are welcome! Also, I’m going to try to get Bold Sprints going on in the evening if Brandon C is nice enough to let us use them. Hope to see you all there! Thanks!

-Marty
