Cycle Charlotte - Crank it UP Music Festival

The first Crank it UP Music Festival is coming to Charlotte this Saturday, May 9th. The event, which includes a 13 mile bike ride, post-ride food and entry into Amos' for the Music is just $20. The event begins at 5:30 with a casual twilight bike ride through uptown Charlotte. If you choose to forgo the 13 mile bike ride, enjoy the music at Amos' beginning at 6:00. Musicians include: The Byron McMurry Trio, The Custom Grass Revue, and Lindy Dobbins and the Red Velvet Manx. Tickets for this all ages show are $18 at the door and $15 in advance. All proceeds will go to the Tarheel Trailblazers and Dirt Divas for trail-building projects in our local community. Although there is plenty of on-site parking, attendees are encouraged to ride the Lynx Light Rail if possible, to promote the use of the Light Rail for bike-commuting.
