Seattle's Cyclefest
Lapierre USA helps raise $2878.00 towards Cascade Bicycle Clubs education programs at “Cyclefest” (the Seattle Tour de France festival) on Tuesday night. A full Carbon Shimano 105 equipt’ Lapierre S-Lite II 100 was donated toward the drawing which goes towards Cascade’s programs. With over 1500 people in attendance the evening was full of various cycling venders’, good food and beer under a gorgeous summer sky. The highlight of the festival was viewing the dramatic stage 16 of the tour on an inflatable big screen.

Quick facts event post mortum:
- Attendance—1700-2000
- Money raised from the program drawing was $$2,878.00 –I donated the S-Lite 100 demo bike in 55cm I had.
- The money raised goes to what programs?Funds go to the Cascade Bicycle Club Education Foundation—youth education programs, commute programming and advocacy. More info here: http://www.cbcef.org/
- Record attendance, based on past years?Attendance has held between 1,500-2,000. But anecdotally, vendors, staff, attendees and friends of the club have said that this is one of the best experiences yet. We have tried our best to improve each year and grow the event in both attendance and quality. It was the most vendors we have ever had. It was also the most programming we have ever produced
