***Event disclaimer; NOT our event, but it’s for a good cause! One day we’ll have something as rad as this with some great support. Meanwhile, we enjoy sharing all the great opportunities out there for YOU!***
Located just 20 miles north of Charlotte, Davidson is a charming college town known throughout the Southeast as a pedestrian, pet and bicycle friendly community. Be sure to enjoy Davidson’s many quaint shops, restaurants, green-ways, bike lanes, and parks in town or one of the 18 breweries, beer and wine shops in the surrounding Lake Norman area. The Village Green will host all event activities and is situated on Main Street in the heart of downtown Davidson across from Davidson College.
The riders are welcomed back into town by the Mayor of Davidson himself playing live music, followed by the RC Oakes Band sponsored by Bike Law. Sit back, relax, enjoy the light food, music, and a post ride beer from Primal Brewery. Post ride raffle prizes from local Lake Norman Businesses will be posted on the announcement board.

**So, yea obviously not our event, however we’re just stoked to be a part of it all! While our specific details are still being critiqued, we do know that the “Rad Little Rodeo” for kids is coming back! What is Outdoor Market you ask,
Outdoor Market offers a unique setting for guests to get hands-on experience with gear from top brands in the outdoor industry. Over three days, this festival offers guests the opportunity to demo bikes, trail running shoes, kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, climbing gear and more throughout the 1,300 acre facility at the U.S. National Whitewater Center. During the festival, guests can also participate in group rides, runs and paddles, as well as yoga practices and educational, participatory, and tech clinics. Opportunities to unwind from the festival’s active nature include craft beer, food, and films.
Here’s a peak from our little view last year, except we were not operating the rodeo this time.
