Imbibe Urbana is always top notch when it comes to organizing great events, and now they’ve teamed up with four local businesses to bring you the Urbana “Tryathalon,” occurring Saturday, April 29th. This is not the typical event by that name – this Tryathalon, in addition to cycling, also includes climbing, yoga, and perhaps best of all, beer. Neutral Cycle, Riggs Brewery, Urbana Boulders, and Amara Yoga are all destinations on this cycling excursion, giving you a taste of some of the best local fun you can have.
Even cooler still is that the Tryathalon is not a competition. There will be no prizes for placing; only spirit awards. Let’s all hope that the weather is nice for the trip, because this is the type of event that can kick your season off right.
Tickets are $40 and there are only 150 spots available, so get on it. Check out the event’s Facebook page info below and visit it here for additional information.
On April 29th, your spirit will be tested–how much Urbana greatness can you handle?
Join Imbibe Urbana for a perfect Spring Saturday of biking, bouldering, yoga and beer in Urbana.
Only 150 spots! 50 in each wave. Get your tickets asap!
Your Urbana Tryathlon route starts at Neutral Cycle (624 S 5th St, Champaign, IL) for bike check, registration, waiver signing, music and camraderie. Then, in three waves of 50, Tryathletes will follow pack leaders on bike through Urbana to Urbana Boulders for all levels indoor climbing.
After climbing, Tryathletes will take another ride through Urbana to Amara Yoga & Arts. At Amara, highly trained yoga instructors will stretch out your bike and boulder muscles so you are loose for your ride to Riggs Beer Company.
At Riggs, be ready to keg toss and celebrate Urbana with your friends, family and free Tryathlon pint glass.
Bike enthusiasts and specialists will lead and follow each wave to assist Tryathletes and ensure safe riding. Please bring a helmet, bike lights, a water bottle and a bike lock. Wear bright clothing (the brighter the better! Be prepared for “Most Visibile Outfit” award!)
Participants must be 16 or older to TRY, but everyone is welcome to the after party at Riggs Brewery. Riders can roll out from Riggs at anytime or wait for the 10pm and 11pm led rides back to downtown Urbana.
Wave 1 begins at 2:30 at Neutral Cycle, ends approx. 7:30 at Riggs. 10-12 overall miles ridden.
