Meet Your Maker Tour

Announcing the Meet Your Maker Tour!

Special thanks to Sean at Soulcraft for getting this thing started!  This is an actual outdoor ride miles away from the nearest convention hall.  The Meet Your Maker Tour is your invitation to ride and hang out with some of Northern California's best bicycle frame builders and component makers. If you're in the market for custom bike, come on out and talk to the local builders in person while we spend time doing what we really love, riding bikes! 

Point your internet web site browser over to www.meetyourmakertour.com, follow us on the Twitter, the Facebook, and add us to your Rolodex(tm)! Whatever. We'll be riding bikes and you should join us!
