Panelists will include Experienced Riders and Professionals who are also riders. The emphasis will be on recreational riders, not racers. In fact New Riders will likely get the most benefit. The discussion will be low key and conversational and light snacks and munchies will be provided. Afterwards participants should plan to adjourn en mass to a very nearby local pub for some well-deserved victuals and libations and to continue the discussion (not included in program).

Cost will be $3 for CCC Members and $7 for others…to defray costs of food. All speakers are volunteers.

Please contact Glenn at 513-236-3433 or by email Glenn.Talaska@uc.edu to let us know if you are attending so we can plan for food. Please bring a folding chair if you have one.
