SUMMARY:Biking Lyme with Ronnie Romance - Lyme
DESCRIPTION:Cycling legend and local resident Ronnie Romance has described himself as a wholistic cyclist who has embraced all forms of cycling\, from racing to mountain biking\, backroads touring and wilderness camping. He views cycling as a tool to connect more deeply with nature\, and his life and design aesthetic shine through in his thoughtfully crafted\, custom-built bikes that sell out almost immediately. \nJoin us at the Lyme Public Hall for a very special opportunity to hear Ronnie discuss how Lyme and the surrounding river towns have emerged as a cycling destination.
