Voted one of America’s Best Bike Shops in 2014, Pedals & Petals is the Presenting Sponsor for the 20th Anniversary Black Fly Challenge. It seems only appropriate that the home of the BFC is one of its major sponsors. Every year as the race approaches Pedals & Petals becomes BFC Central, not only for race production and volunteers but for hundreds of racers that stop in for last minute tune-ups, gear and for Friday pre-race registration. Pedals & Petals is located on Route 28 in Inlet. Stop in and say “hi” to Ted and the crew!
Big News! Epic moves up to Title Sponsor
The BFC race committee is proud to announce an agreement has been reached with Epic Outdoor Adventures that will make Epic the BFC Title Sponsor for the next three years.
Epic is located at 401 East Genesee St (Route 5) in Fayetteville where owners Brian and Susan Hill, along with their experienced staff, offer “CNY’s #1 Source for Premium Service and Equipment.”
Epic is famous for creativity and customization, as evidenced by the BFC raffle bikes – both last year’s bike and this year’s bike were selected and customized by Brian.
Epic also supports numerous community events in addition to the BFC, including community rides, the Green Lakes Triathlon, McCauley Mt Fatbike Fest and Winona Forest IditaFAT, among others.
Stop and say hi to the Epic crew at the store and at the Epic Black Fly Challenge! [Read more…]
