Cyclist Visitor Center in Verona (for IMOO riders and others)

Hey there -

I just thought I'd pass this on.  I was talking to my coach yesterday and she mentioned that the city of Verona has had some issues with cyclists parking at Fireman's Park while riding the IM WI course.   It sounds like during summer weekends, cyclists sometimes kind of "overtake" the park, which creates a problem when others have rented the park for events.  At times, as many as 200 cyclists have left their vehicles in the park for the day.  Also, (unfortunately) there has been a lot of garbage left over from the riders...no BTers I hope!

To address this issue, Rocket Bicyle Studio (RBS) and SBR Coaching in Verona will be open on Saturdays from 6am-Noon.  Cyclists are welcome to park in their parking lot (right across Paoli St from Fireman's Park) and the building will be open for mechanical help, and use of bathrooms and a shower.   Here's a copy of their newsletter regarding this....
