   | Inaugural "Wheel Ride for Food" Event was a HUGE
success!- May 31, 2008 – On a warm spring morning about 8:30 a.m.,
around 140 cyclists lined up in great anticipation of  rolling out in Asheville’s newest cycling event – the Wheel Ride
For Food. As part of the Mountain Sports Festival, the WRFF event was created to
raise money for Meals On Wheels. Billed as an all-level family ride, the
half-metric and full-metric routes took cyclists through the scenic communities
of Weaverville, Marshall, Ox Creek, Town Mountain and back through downtown
Asheville.
Thanks to the generosity of over 25 sponsors including The Catherine
McAuley Mercy Foundation and Mountain Health
Contracting along with 140 riders, the first Wheel Ride For Food
raised over $35,000 to help feed the homebound elderly in
Buncombe County.
Marilyn Carter (Executive Director for Meals On Wheels) explained, “This
started out as an idea to raise money for MOW by David Hall (Deltec
Homes) – a longtime volunteer and friend to MOW. Thanks to David and the other
members of our WRFF Committee – Alan Brookshire (UBS Financial), Matt Johnson
(BioWheels), Charles Pine (Retired) and Katie Smith (Dixon Hughes) and our MOW
staff, we were able to put together a ride designed by cyclists to appeal to the
cycling community.” Continue WRFF

BioWheels is excited to feature Cervelo as our premier road bicycle vendor! They have been leading their class in the road & time trial markets based on lightweight, strong and aerodynamic design that is backed by the world's #1 ranked road race team (Team CSC) and the winningest triathlon brand in Ironman hisory (over 30 wins).
Cervelo was founded in 1995 by two engineers who continue to own & manage the company today. Cervelo is a group of people who love cycling while having a commitment to engineering that is unmatched in the cycling industry. Quite simply, Cervelo is building the best bicycles on the planet. This is evident not only in their commitment to product testing and engineering but in the fact that Cervelo extends a lifetime warranty on every one of their frames!
If you're looking for the ultimate road bike, you need to consider the Cervelo Soloist Carbon or the Cervelo R3. New for 2008 is the Cervelo RS. This bike is designed with the same performance of the R3 with a taller headtube for a more upright riding position. For value-oriented performance, you should see what Bicycling Magazine calls "The best $2000 complete road bike" - the Cervelo Soloist Team.
If you want to shave minutes off your time trial or bike split, then you should know that no other bike model is more tested or proven aerodynamically than the Cervelo P3 Carbon. Cervelo is by far the most-raced TT bike in the world and the benchmark by which all other manufacturers are rated.
BioWheels is the only shop in Western NC that Cervelo deems worthy of their reputation. The complete Cervelo line is represented in our Asheville, NC store. Come in to look at one for yourself! |
