Come join us at the Cliff House for our first annual holiday party.  We will be celebrating the year, announcing our ride leader and sweeps of the year, honoring our sponsors, and having a great dinner.  

Tickets must be purchased in advance, $25 per person.  SOCO Velo is subsidizing the cost, so this is a great deal.  Adult family members are welcome! 

 The menu is listed on the event page, plus each guest will receive two drink tickets. 

This is an adults only night, so put on your party clothes and come celebrate your bike club!
