Since it’s hard to tell which pit stops have what, I thought we could start a thread with different reviews/descriptions? Maybe next year WABA could encourage pit stop organizers to post more details, such as what kinds of things will be raffled off?
Freedom Plaza
The good:- Loved being able to practice putting my bike on a bus rack. Will feel much more confident about trying this in real life.
- BicycleSPACE adjusted my rear derailleur!
- Free bicycle valet!
The bad:
- Very few vendors/stands. It was unclear whether this was weather-related, or just due to the general decline of this pit stop.
- No raffles or cool giveaways, at least not when I arrived at around 8:40ish.
- Coffee was put away by 9 am. Nothing left for stragglers. Granted, the volunteers had been out in cold, wet weather for a looong time.
National Geographic
Wow, I wish I had come straight here! Not only were they able to move it indoors, there were a lot of vendors, and good raffles. They raffled a number of awesome National Geographic jerseys. Plenty of coffee and grub, even at 9:30.How about you? Which pit stops are must-visits?
And of course, thanks to all of the organizers and volunteers and vendors who braved this morning’s weather.
