HPC Social Events
For those that have attended the HPC in the past, they surely would include in their description of the event that every moment, racing or hanging out on the infield, is one major "Social Event." A non-stop yak fest encompassing topics from "it's about the bike" to "it's not about the bike." Pretty much covers everything, yes?
However, we do have two semi-informal social gatherings that are held outside the track premises which are tremendously fun. On Saturday night (May 23), we have the OHPV/HPC Party at TerraCycle and StitesDesign, who have served as hosts for the event for several years. Munchies and libations flow as generously as the conversations, which can be more spicy than the chow! And on Sunday night (May 24) we have been fortunate to have as a sponsor, Bortolami's, a bicycle oriented pizza restaurant, that is completely over the top in its bike themed ambience. The Sunday gathering is a "post weekend" of racing celebration, regaling the events and drama of the weekend. Of course you can head over to Bortolami's anytime during the weekend and relax in the festive atmosphere that visually surrounds you, while enjoying the discount offered to our HPV clan. Great food, cool digs, convenient nearby location, and at a reduced price, how can you beat it?!
Check out the details below for more info and directions to both of these fun spots. See you there!
