Let the Countdown Begin – Urban Restaurant Tour is Less Than 3 Weeks Away!
April 28th is bound to roll around fast!
Last night’s URT was worth the wait…we totally stuffed ourselves with panini, gelato, wings, fries, salad, the most amazing mac-n-cheese ever, shredded pork, tender juicy beef brisket, cole slaw, steamed veggies, boneless chicken breast, more salad and who could forget dollar drafts!
Over $481 in Raffle Prizes Given Away Last Night!
And how about that hot new collection of I “BIKE” Tampa t-shirts? Last night we gave away an unprecedented $481 in SWAG from the corner of Ashley and Polk at Taps Wine and Beer Merchants. If you were one of the unlucky few who didn’t win anything last night, NOW you’re in LUCK…our next URT is right around the corner.
Anyone who thought Kellie would need a few days to recover from last night was dead wrong. Bright and early this morning she was back at it and today secured the following venues for the April 28 ride:
- SONO Cafe for registration and the usual crowd faves
- Sunset Grille at the Tampa Heights Old Trolley Barn…just in time for the sunset!
- Spaghetti Warehouse in Ybor Square
- The Bricks on 7th Avenue, Ybor City
- Urban Cantina (Ole!)
WE ARE NOW SOLD OUT!

March 31 Urban Restaurant Tour Postponed to April 7
POSTPONED
Due to the inclement weather, we have decided to postpone the Urban Restaurant Tour to 4/7/2011.
Fortunately we have been blessed for a full year now with perfect weather every month on the night of the tour. I am happy to say that this is the very first time we have had to postpone! All of our registered guests will be transferred to next week.
Though some of you will be unable to attend due to the short notice, we do still anticipate a very good turnout.
The itinerary and menu will remain the same.
We appreciate your flexibility with rescheduling and are grateful for your understanding and support.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call the shop @ 813-225-1777.

Tampa Bay Lightning Go Green Night – Monday March 7 2011
Tomorrow night (March 7) City Bike Tampa will be giving away two brand new Manhattan Cruiser bicycles during Go Green Night with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The NHL Eastern Conference ranked #3 Bolts will face off against the #5 ranked Washington Capitals at 7pm.
The Tampa Bay Lightning will host ‘Go Green Night,’ presented by Waste Services of Florida and Proshred, to encourage recycling and environmental awareness on Monday, March 7 when they take on the Washington Capitals at 7 p.m. at the St. Pete Times Forum.
Fans who bring six plastic bottles and/or aluminum cans to be recycled by Waste Services of Florida or items including old Washington Capitals jerseys, hats or t-shirts to be shredded by Proshred will receive discounted tickets at a group rate, including $15 terrace corner seats, $30 terrace center seats or $50 plaza end seats. This special ticket incentive will be available on the west plaza prior to the game. All fans are encouraged to arrive to the game early, as the first 5,000 individuals in Lightning gear will receive a Lightning recyclable grocery bag presented by Waste Services of Florida.
Those who ride their bike to the game will receive one complimentary terrace level ticket to that night’s game versus the Capitals. City Bike Tampa will be on hand giving out free bike safety checks as well as complimentary minor adjustments to all fans’ bikes on the plaza. The bike parking area will be staffed throughout the game. The Friends of Clean City along with College Hunks Hauling Junk will also be present in the Forum West Lot through March 6 from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. for any fan wishing to bring an old car or boat battery to be recycled. Individuals who make a donation will receive a pair of tickets to an upcoming event at the St. Pete Times Forum.
Speedling Incorporated will also distribute approximately 2,500 geraniums to any guest that would like to take one home after the game. There will be a table on the concourse where fans can receive information on the Lightning’s green efforts and sign up as one of the organization’s Green Team volunteers.
The Lightning Foundation will also take part in the evening’s festivities, with the donation and special presentation of a bicycle to be used by a Tampa Police Department patrol officer in the Hyde Park neighborhood.
Fans may also enter the Tampa Bay Cycle Words for Wheels contest, sponsored by the Lightning Foundation, at http://www.tampabaycycle.com for a chance to win one of two free bikes, courtesy of the Lightning Foundation.
