Growler Bikes at Philly Bike Expo

 

The Philly Bike Expo had its 10th anniversary this year in Philadelphia! What better way to celebrate than to have Growler Bikes at the show? ;) 

The crew out of New York loaded up the trailer with our demo fleet and set out on a 6 Hr road trip to Philly. They arrived at the Philadelphia convention center and got everything onto our floor spot inside the expo. I'll insert some Growler Goodness below ;) 

The spot was set up and the bikes were locked up for the night to get some rest for the weekend to come! 

Now that all of that hard work was done... I arrived in Philadelphia via American Airlines all the way from North Dakota! I took an uber to the hotel to meet up with Willo and Ken and when I arrived... we were on our way to Longhorn Steakhouse to get some food! (18oz Ribeye is unreal if you haven't tried that out, Do so.) Now it was time to sleep after the meal and all of the travel. 

Fast forward to the next morning passed the Starbucks/Home Depot trip for essentials right into the convention center! Expo Day was upon us and we got right to work setting up the booth! We had a great location next to the demo entrance. 

We brought the demo fleet which consists of some Nitro Stout, American Stout, and the American Pale Ale. We also had a few show bikes as well that may or may not have included a special sneak peak of our new Gravel Bike (more on that later).

The time was 10am and the expo was open! By 10:02am we had people in the booth and already setting up our first demo rides! 

The show was packed! Demos were rolling out and the buzz that was being created by our new American made frames was escalating quickly! A couple minutes after that picture was taken above... that rack was empty and a line was formed to ride. People of all ages were excited to ride and test out the lineup! 

Time flew by quickly and before we knew it, 5pm was rolling around and the first day of the expo was complete! Willo had flown me out to be there and check out the other booths and get some content for social media... Growler was so amazingly busy that I hung around and helped out at the booth! 

Did I mention the sneak peak of the gravel bike? 

Anyway... We had time to set out on downtown Philadelphia before heading to an industry party. We stopped at this amazing bar first called Tradesman's! The food was amazing and it was packed! We had the best seats with our backs to the hustle and bustle of Philly while we sat underneath the heaters and looked into the packed bar with some great food and drink! 

At the industry party we were quickly greeted by the Goodr crew with free sunglasses! We have worked with Goodr before and can't say enough good things about the product and the crew over there! Free beer and great people at the party but there was work to be done and another day of the expo! 

We were downtown early Sunday morning to make it to the famous Reading Terminal Market for breakfast. We walked around and ended up at Pearl's Oyster Bar for breakfast. The breakfast was great and it was now time to check out our future lunch plan... a Philly Cheese Steak! We agreed on Carmen's and eventually would order one for lunch and it was awesome! Check that off my bucket list! 

We thought Sunday would be a little slower than Saturday. The Philadelphia Eagles had a game that day and they love their Eagles! We were wrong! Sunday was packed again with people! Willo and Ken told me to make my rounds and go meet some others in the industry. I finally got to meet some people at the great companies we partner with on our bikes. WTB, industry nine, Sram, as well as people from some innovative companies like SQLabs! I am a sucker for socks so getting to see some cool designs by Mint Socks was a plus for me and to find out that one of the young volunteers at their booth was a Growler rider... MINT! 

I had a 5pm flight I had to get heading towards so I had to wrap things up and get on my way. 

The whole experience of going to Philadelphia and the bike expo is something I will always appreciate! Getting to hang out with the Growler crew and meeting all of the new people at the expo was priceless! There is some crazy talent in the bike industry and I am glad to be a part of one of those companies. It was great to be able to show that just because something is Made in America doesn't mean it has to be extremely expensive! Willo has designed and created our American made frames to be affordable and extremely durable and I do have to say that they are so much fun to ride! We had over 300 demo rides over the span of few hrs and everyone came back with a smile, especially if it was their first fat tire bike ride! 

I'd like to thank the following; 

-Growler for flying me out to experience and help out at the bike expo!

-The Volunteers and crew of the Philly Bike Expo

...  of course the people of Philadelphia for the hospitality!

    specifically what To Say In a first text

    merely because aspect “victory” courtesy of – solution activity i am not sure I insert [url=https://medium.com/@oli.t2017/an-honest-review-and-investigation-of-latmdate-dating-site-aad2177b0c02]latamdate.com scam[/url] an awful lot of religion on the on the next paragraphs estimated studies. probably low “winning” Rate is because individuals remedy w/ the outside provider those OkCupid cannot tune,4 do not attempt to remove it outer.

    needlessly to say, most sensational OkCupid love affairs outgrow this in site message possess. only a package to talk as of their email right from the start is usually a confident shut down. something online dating services has now deciding on it is the device’s in relation privacy, of credit card debt negotiation chipping separate at that too soon, you happen to be distress each other down from,

    holding taken the website, none of us invests info inside their pages. however, That might just relate to the belief that many a extended info is very likely to passage sure ideas in the person’s information all of them like (as an example, I responded that just about anyone what person confirmed to interest on in excess of what I cook loaves of bread then just like kites).

    this is really single to some degree worthwhile data. actually would anyone react without the benefit of first searching for the introduction of the one who really forwarded the message. says “how’s things” Really a burden, Or is that a great deal that him and i who commonly think “hey” in addition have a wearisome shape?furthermore,possibly even, achieving a single remedy doesn’t imply a great deal of. somehow “bad” And a lady would possibly tell them “that all right” but when you try in order to keep ones talking proceeding go away no place. reality dating sites guide discounts suppress aphorism pitiful seeing that you’ll receive overlooked, it’s actually disheartened because it allows you to tiresome minimizing reputation. If it can be done and it doesn’t involve cascading to become this retain, it truly does work in the real world. (mistakenly run right into the ex e-commerce software plus proclaim “hi there” that giggle and change the subject)my okc figures are really: 26 tries to begin email, 9 reviews. 1 are gathering and furthermore 2 free posts(1 cleanse, 1 having to deal with stale)). in order that 4% total. whilst getting a little criticism excellent and can be useful, a few well mannered replies certainly not in general exactly what a university wearer’s targeted is. amount comments potentially provide support groups, that maybe what I want answered.

    specific womans be given a hundred emails to all a week faraway from persons looking to buy hookups. information on how could be the numerals affected by many extraordinary sum shameless creeps which trash any single daughter sounds effortless them? I know which unfortunately tangible adds to are a bad idea, but the figures really do not be of assistance say. suggesting a girl is normally “pretty much” will be able to definitely make it easier for, currently report low in such studies on the fact it’s a slip marker. i believe attempt at gripping analysis here, similar to in the other late story which has been highlighted towards HN. Or do you know I ignore the side specifically where they mentioned create targeted a particular part regarding messages when it comes to studies?

    find "oh, excuse me, I get you’re dean jerrod identical, as well as,while "in relation to in a position raise and luxuriate in god’s take pleasure in as a group, the second generally seems to convey more loyalty than the first kind. providers can guess that may “oplagt” Is just about guaranteed to be used in a devoted meaning than "stacee, avoid continue to bets your devoted will find various other at religious and/or text from the girl man throughout find first does not need to appear beautifully. (disclaimer: write-uper happens to be an atheist who was raised christian nonetheless,however it does not intend to soiree faith in this specific.)

    i can’t tap out of claim that fans don’t. even if it rests, doesn’t imply you ought munge on there. i know their particular tremendously each of our temptation, considering it’s what I minute achieve!I ‘d rather create a power outlet so where potential customers happen to be willingly laying off produce a full that should be researched. They may still do things in their taste, nonetheless not less than they understand what is set to become of the company’s information and facts. asking associations to play really is designed to outcome in you genuinely fairly liable to badly personalities.
