A festival of cycling that celebrates the beauty & hospitality of Walterboro and the SC Lowcountry, and benefits the Palmetto Cycling Coalition for cycling safety and advocacy
Thank you so much or registering for FestiVELO 2024, the most unique bicycling event in the USA! If you've participated in one of our past events, you know how much more than a bike ride FestiVELO is.
For those you who will be participating in your first FestiVELO, we promise you more than just up to 4 days of riding. Plenty of food, themed evening events, guest speakers, post-ride therapy sessions, post-ride beer and snacks, and the opportunity to meet and interact with your fellow riders are just some of the things that make FestiVELO so special. Plus, you'll be riding around the Front Porch of the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
As you prepare for next week's festivities, here are few things to remember:
Everything you need to know is on the FestiVELO app. Download it from the App Store, and be sure to join us for the riders' meeting each afternoon at 4:30. The app is the best way to stay up to date with the weather forecast, request SAG support, see the routes, get directions, etc. After you download the app, be sure to take the tour. Click on the App Tour button on the top left.
Thursday night's dinner is going to be at Veterans' Park, 241 E. Washington St. in Walterboro, in conjunction with Walterboro's First Thursday celebration. Veterans' Park is a short walk from the Farmers Market. We invite you stay downtown after dinner as merchants will keep their doors open late. We will also have our after-dinner speaker at 6:30 and Chocolate Obsession Garden at 7:00 at the Farmers Market.
We also have a special charity we'd like to remind you of. Those of you who know and love Matthew Thompson from the FestiVELO events know he has a heart the size of Charleston and is the heart and soul of FestiVELO. Every FestiVELO, Matthew collects new underwear (socks, t-shirts, etc.) and hygiene supplies in order that every homeless man, woman, and child in the Charleston area might receive a special Christmas blessing. We'll be collecting these items at FestiVELO. Matthew will have a box in the registration area where you can drop off donations.We can't wait to see all of you next week in Walterboro.
