We are planning different routes to incorporate all types of riders and bikes. We will have a sag wagon for at least one route.

You can still make a donation if you are unable to join us on the ride. To do so, register online and then send me a note/call the shop saying you will not make it to the ride. Trek has developed a website to help promote the ride and your participation which links directly to Active.com for online registration http://www.bcar2007.santu.com/. The first 25 pre-registered riders receive custom full-finger gloves on the day of the ride. All participants receive fun shwag (t-shirts, water bottles, etc.) and can also enter to win 2-custom Lime Bikes, 5 Pink Saris Bone Bike Racks, 2 Bissell Healthy Home Vacuums, 1 Bissell SpotBot Pet.
So, mark your calendars to participate in this fulfilling and exciting event. The fall colors will be blooming and the weather will be perfect for riding.

Newest Arrival - Hot Off the Mold!

Our newest arrival at the shop is the 2008 Madone 5.5! Get it while it's hot...this bike will sell quickly!

Our other new addition is the 2008 Gary Fisher HiFi 29er. Bigger is better and it really does make sense. The carbon/aluminum lugs are beautifully crafted for a smooth finish. Wow, this bike is hot!

Tour of Missouri - St. Louis Recap

Disco train:

WOW! What a blast! Our crew watched a few sprints at the sprint line and cheered on Discovery. I can still remember the look on Levi's face when he saw how many Trek St. Louis/Kansas City people were there cheering him on as he first came through...

A few other celebrities were watching the race and also presenting awards to the winners afterwards. St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay was one of them...

I spoke with my good friend, Brad Huff, at the after party and found out how bad his crash was at the finish. He landed on his head, feet in the air, and is actually quite alright. He has a few scratches and is sore, but no broken bones and his vertebrae is still connected. Wow, heal up well Brad!

Discovery Team Appearance!

Our customers Tricia and Dan Atchison took some GREAT photos of the Discovery Channel Team appearance last night. Check out the link!

TOUR OF MISSOURI BRIGADE!

Hear ye, hear ye! The shop will be CLOSED on Sunday, Sept. 16th in order for our employees, friends, and dear customers to enjoy the last stage of the Tour of Missouri! We have special arrangements for anyone who wants to party with our "Disco Train".

Meet at the shop in time to leave at 11am and we will caravan down to the course. Bring your bike so that you can ride with us to different spots of the course. We will arrive in front of Llewelyn's in the Central West End to eat, watch the sprints in the sprint zone, then ride over to the grand finish line to watch the final sprint. OUR WEEKLY SUNDAY COFFEE RIDE IS TRANSFORMED INTO THIS EVENT.

Feel free to dress up in '70s attire and cheer on the Disco team! If anyone has a cheap disco ball, let us know (we want to hang one in the tent).

Tour of Missouri Apparel!

We now have a full stock of Tour of Missouri t-shirts! We have men's, women's, and children's in all major sizes. Come get yours before they sell out!
