About

Pedal through history while helping homeless pets thrive!

The VeloScience Vintage Rally on April 27, 2025, is a laid-back, retro-inspired 40-mile group ride through New Albany, Ohio, designed for vintage bike fans and lovers of classic cycling style. This fun event raises funds for the CHA Animal Shelter, with all profits supporting local animals in need. Riders are encouraged to don retro kits, tackle a friendly and scenic course, and enjoy a carefully curated post-ride celebration—complete with live music, a delicious BBQ, and plenty of chances to meet adoptable puppies from the shelter. No GPS routes here; just old-school queue sheets, a classic support vehicle, and a warm, welcoming vibe. Join in for unforgettable memories, vintage-themed prizes, and heartfelt causes!
