Reports back from those that made the trip to Asheville, North Carolina is that the first ever Independent Fabrication Big Ride Out (IFBRO) was a brilliant success. Joe Ingram of IF has described the riding as Epic and admits that it’s a word that’s overused to a ludicrous extent but it is a perfect way to describe it. Asheville’s local environment delivered long hard climbs and long hard descents, but everyone had a great time.

Unfortunately Dave Bradley had to bail early into the weekend when a family member was hospitalized and Cris Bloomfield was unable to get over to the US due to a delivering the great news to his family and in-laws that a baby is on the way. So with everyone having had such a great time this year, we’re going to have to think about doing it again…

Finally a big thanks to everyone who attended, particularly Matt from Biowheels who provided local knowledge!
