Tour de Rock! and MS-150 touring

Last week our shop was blessed with 2 distinct types of touring riders. We first met two guys riding their bikes to raise money for charity:


Jason Heath and Brock Arsenault are riding their bicycles across the country from California to Connecticut in order to raise money for the Livestrong foundation and the Waterford Country School's new gymnasium. They stopped by our shop to get some maintenance done and take a photo.

They both work at the Hard Rock Cafe and are self-supporting themselves on their ride. If you would like to donate, go to the Tour de Rock website .

A fellow customer, Kelly Sleeper, stopped by the shop to display his new trailer setup. With the help of a Yakima Blockhead, he mounted his road bike onto his trailer and attached it to his hybrid. He will be pulling his road bike all the way to Columbia, MO for the MS-150. Way to go Kelly!
