Busy week here at NPR Ducati. We’re hosting the Ducati Ductruck all week, showing the flag and indoctrinating the available. Stuff for you to do:
- Wednesday night, we will be heading down for our second foray into Atlanta’s East Side. We will arrive at The Glenwood Bistro at 7pm and hit the ground running. Great Jazz band, great food, great beer and wine selection, and of course our Ducatis. The Ductruck will be in attendance with a cool display of all the 2010 Models on hand and lots of red! Come and check it out. The Glenwood is at 1266 Glenwood Ave SE Atlanta GA 30306. Plenty of free parking and enuthusiasts is lined up. From 7-11pm. See you there! There will be prizes given for the most unusual Ducati, most expressive Ducati costume (tattoos only count if I haven’t seen them before) and an audience’s choice. Get an armband and raffle ticket from me when you get there.
- Thursday night, we’ll be doing our regular bike night, leaving Athens at 5.30 sharp! for a little ride over to Athens’ own Terrapin Brewery where the Ductruck will again be headlining the night’s events. This craft brewery is our local highlight and is a major sponsor of cool events in our area (Such as the Twilight Criterium) as well as a great place for gathering. We will take the brewery tour at 6.30 and maybe a tasting too if we behave!
- Friday we will be doing Demo rides by appointment only with the assistance of the Ductruck at the shop. 10-4pm. Come find me Thursday night and we’ll get you set up. Maybe you’ll fall in love. Spring is that kind of season.
- Saturday evening is the 30th Annual Twilight Criterium bicycle race in Downtown Athens. Look for the Ductruck and NPR Ducatis all over the place. Our display will be on Washington St , in front of First American bank, right on the course. We’ll have food and beverages, a great place to watch the festivities, and lots of special stuff going on. There will be a drawing for a Ducati Performance Jacket as well! Bike parking on the outside of the course is, naturally, provided so as to avoid that nightmare. For those of you that haven’t been, this is a great great event, very exciting and staged right in front of you. Look for yours truly leading the pack on a desmo with no pedals
We will also have a small dedicated group doing the 5k run/walk at 08.30 on Saturday. Come join us if you’re man or woman enough!
That’s a full week, by anyone’s reckoning. I’m sure we have something worth your while-can’t wait to see all Ducati fans there, wherever it may be!
