Bicycling in the Lower Hudson Valley

An inspirational cycling journey, tonight in Armonk

November
12

Come tonight to David Chen’s in Armonk to hear Westchester Cycle Club member Pearson Constantino’s story.
After two years of agonizing recovery from a life altering hit-and-run accident on Central Avenue in Hartsdale, WCC member Pearson Constantino, accompanied by his brother Pete, rode across America to make our roads safer and inspire more bicycling.

I rode with them from Albany one day in early October near the end of their journey and found their story so compelling. A documentary film, THE LONG RIDE BACK, is being made about Pearson’s inspirational comeback and the brothers’ epic ride by filmmaker Julia Wrona, Pearson’s wife. Please join us on Wednesday, November 12th to hear Julia and Pearson speak about this amazing journey and see photos and film clips from the documentary.

WCC has supported the project with a $1,000 donation.
Drinks are on you at 6:30 p.m., dinner will be served at 7:00 p.m. and our guests will take the floor at 7:30 p.m.

Please RSVP to the WCC Events page or email Leslie Schneider at Leslies28@msn.com so she can provide the restaurant with an accurate head count.
Location
David Chen’s Chinese Restaurant 85 Old Mt. Kisco Rd (NY128) Armonk
