Westport, CT - In conjunction with its upcoming production of “4000 Miles,” Westport Country Playhouse is offering a giveaway of a Cannondale Adventure 1 Bike, valued at $960. The bike was donated as first prize by Cycleology Bike and Ski of Westport. Second price, also thanks to the generosity of Cycleology, is a Cycleology RBX classic SS cycling jersey (size large) and Cycleology water bottle, valued at $97.
The comedy/drama “4000 Miles,” playing August 23 – September 4, is about a young cyclist whose cross-country bicycle trip from the west coast ends at the Greenwich Village apartment of his feisty 91-year-old grandmother. Their generational divide creates conflict on issues of age, family, love, sex, and politics until they discover an emotional connection that gives each a purpose.
The Cannondale Adventure 1 Bike is size large, teal, and features a water bottle cage; lightweight, step-thru, aluminum frame with suspension fork; micro-shift, 8-speed drivetrain with hydraulic disc brakes; and comfortable ergonomic saddle and suspension seat post.
