AFA Holds Second Annual Wounded Airmen Cycling Challenge

Arlington, Va. – The Air Force Association (AFA) held its second annual Wounded Airmen Cycling Challenge on Saturday, May 19, 2018 at CycleBar, an indoor cycling studio with over 120 locations nationwide.

The event will consist of an hour spin class taught by CylceBar professional instructors, followed by a reception presented by Technica.
