The Woods Family are staunch supporters of all types of cycling in the Roanoke region. Virginia’s Blue Ridge Creature From Carvins Cove is fortunate to be able to use the Woods Family Heating and AC parking lot for post-race awards, and the Parkway Brewing Parking Lot Pub, with Get Bent IPA on hand to benefit Roanoke’s highly active IMBA chapter.
The Parkway Parking Lot Pub is ready to serve thirsty 44 mile racers!
