The 2013 Miami Valley Cycling Summit Planning Committee is pleased to announce that the 2013 Summit will be held in downtown Springfield on May 31, 2013, in the newly constructed Hollenbeck Bayley Conference Center. The planning team is working diligently to ensure that the 2013 event will be the most successful yet. The Miami Valley Cycling Summit is an event aimed at reaching cycling advocates, policy makers, and the local business community and conveying to them the importance of a vibrant cycling community. This year’s theme is “Cycling Connects” and the program content will aim to illustrate the many benefits of cycling infrastructure, policies, and lifestyles. 
The people tasked with achieving this goal is the 2013 planning team. The planning team is comprised of representatives from the City of Dayton, City of Springfield, Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission, City of Troy, Clark County Springfield TCC, Five Rivers Metro Parks, Greene County Parks and Trails, as well as many other organizations. Current planning activities include fundraising for the event, securing event speakers and presentations, and website development. The committee is hoping that the new Summit website will launch by the end of the calendar year. Please check back for details.
