Long awaited party for all Shanghai cyclists finally happened!
Yesterday at Pistolera all fans of cycling came together and celebrated the amazing 2016! It was a year of great achievements – our friends were winning world champ titles, smashing everesting, riding their asses off every day no matter if it rains or shines! We started in late afternoon with all the preparations to make sure that all runs smoothly during our main event which was SCO Categories Awards and Lucky Draw Raffle Bonanza!
People started to show up just before 7PM, our old friends as well few new faces which were welcomed like brothers and sisters! In the end we are one big family! Party started with full blast at 7:30PM, with first lucky draw winners coming every few seconds! Jens, Roger and Wencherk were doing great job as MCs!
After Lucky Draw Raffle Bonanza we moved to Category Awards with big prizes for big guys with big achievements! There was sprint challenge going on the side. Gals and lads were smashing and trying to ride as fast as possible 1km. Last part of the event (despite eating, drinking and enjoying) was a very special auction where the money from the highest bidders will be donated to two charities – Shanghai Healing Home orphanage and Jinwei Care NGO organisation providing help for people with Alzheimer’s disease. Prizes were also very special – entries to IM70.3 and IM Taiwan! There was a tough fight to get the highest bid but all for good cause!
Thanks guys! You are amazing!
Rest is just a crazy good time with fantastic people. If you were not there make sure you won’t miss it next year! And 2017 looks even better than 2016! A massive thanks to our sponsors for giving us so many fantastic prizes and donating to our charities!
Season is coming to an end, time to chill and enjoy the preparations for Christmas and New Year! We wish you all the best and see you on the road! Ride safe!
Luv ya!
