As you may know by now , I (Cyrille Vincent -Director/Executive Producer) am going to the Major Taylor Invitational June 17th-19 in Indianapolis and I can't wait to meet all of you there.
There are 5 main reasons I'm attending this event in Indianapolis and I wanted to share it with you all.
The first reason I'm attending this event is because of it significance for all who are involve in keeping the legacy of Major Taylor alive. This very important event is described as follow on the registration website: '' In the 43 years since the first Major Taylor Cycling club started in Columbus, Ohio, there has never been a national gathering of the Major Taylor Clubs. Major Taylor’s hometown, Indianapolis, Indiana, will host the first Major Taylor national event in June of 2022. The event is hosted by the Major Taylor Cycling Club of Central Indiana, a program of Bike Indianapolis. Register Here :https://raceroster.com/events/2022/51122/the-major-taylor-invitational
The Second reason, and you may have guess it already, is the filming of ''WHIRLWIND'' (www.worcesterwhirlwind.com) with some members of the MTCCs (Major Taylor Cycling Clubs) who will be in Indianapolis for the purpose of this event. I'm especially excited about filming with the only MTCC's youth Chapter of Georgia as it is very important that young people voice get heard as well . So, Let's do it :https://www.facebook.com/majortaylormiddlegeorgia/
