A message from the Wilson 100 Director, Mark Wyan: Here are some brief but important details to remember about this year's Wilson 100: Travel & Parking: If your commuting south through the City, please remember the downtown construction and plan accordingly. We recommend participants arrive early to allow ample time for parking, registration, and preparation. We have secured additional parking adjacent to the school, but overflow parking will be at Senoia Raceway across the street (if absolutely necessary). In an effort to raise additional funds for Project Adventure Kids, we will have a small number of premium parking spots up front near the EXPO and Registration Tables for $20. This is totally optional, however 100% of proceeds will go to Project Adventure Kids. Look for the Signs "PAK ; VIP Parking $20". If you have bike or mechanical issues, Atlanta Cycling (www.AtlantaCycling.com) will be providing all mechanical support and adjustments during registration from 7:00 to 9:00. EXPO: Remember this years Wilson 100 includes a Vendor Expo from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm *FREE* to all participants! Although this might not incorporate 100% of all riders, anybody finishing their ride before 3:00pm is encouraged to attend. The EXPO will incorporate a D.J. spinning music, multiple sponsors, vendors, and bicycle advocacy groups which will discuss local advocacy programs.
