Doctors Without Borders Charity Ride

Join us this Sunday, March 4th at 8am for a charity ride benefitting Doctors Without Borders. Our good friend Dan Patrick is doing the Ironman Arizona and raising money for this wonderful cause.

We leave the shop parking lot promptly at 8am, will ride for about 1.5 hours (with the option of a shorter route), and return for free coffee, bagels, and conversation! A $5 donation is suggested and the ride is self-supported.

Get out to enjoy the weather and good company. Check out these websites for further information:

Klunkerz

The Fish-man is back at it again! Gary Fisher and his mtb veterans star in Billy Savage's new documentary. Here is some info. I snagged from the Fisher website:

"Director and California native, Billy Savage, will be screening Klunkerz Sunday, January 21, at the X-Dance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. X-Dance is a four-day showcase for the best action sports films. The event celebrates the films and culture that are a critical to all action sports. For more information including the screening schedule see: www.x-dance.com.

Klunkerz was a two-year passion project for Billy Savage. The former skateboarder and lifetime mountain biker, collected archival footage and still photography from those early days on Mount Tamalpais and culled interviews with those original pioneers to help recreate the scene that sparked “mountain biking” as we know it. The feature-length documentary premiered in October 2006 and has been playing select film festivals since then. For more Klunkerz information and a trailer visit: www.klunkerz.com." - www.fisherbikes.com

I'm predicting some impatience on my part until this video is released!

Hot cocoa hookup!

We are open today and our friends at Starbucks down the street hooked us up with a bunch of hot cocoa. So if you want to get some shopping done while everyone else is couped up behind their desks at work, swing by and hang out with us! There's always something going on here (and we still have power so our heaters are working VERY well)! Feel free to bring your bike so we can watch you pull donuts in the parking lot.

FREE Pilates class tomorrow!!

Derek has decided to host our first pilates class of the season for FREE! We will start at 8pm and go until 9pm. Please bring your own mat since we will not have any to provide.

Please email Derek at trihard04@yahoo.com or call the shop at (636) 394-2453 to register.

Take advantage of this great offer and also be the first to pre-register for upcoming classes!

Coffee ride

Due to randomly perfect weather, our trainer session for tomorrow (Sunday, Nov. 26) morning is cancelled. We're making the best of this drastic climate change by taking our bikes OUTSIDE. Meet us at Kaldi's in Kirkwood at 8am for a group ride around town. It will be an easy ride at a moderate pace for about 2 hours. Bring money for coffee and muffins!

Ride on.

Group road ride @ 9am

WE'RE CLOSED ON THANKSGIVING, BUT YOU STILL NEED TO RIDE!


Join us Thursday morning @ 9am for a 2 hour, moderately paced road ride. You will be back home before noon to make your cranberries. The more you ride, the more you can eat!!

Monthly Maintenance Schedule Changed

We are glad to announce a time change in our monthly maintenance schedule.

Instead of being the first WEDNESDAY of the month at 6PM, we have changed our maintenance class to every first SATURDAY of the month at 9:30AM.

This class is free and open to all riders of all kinds - mountain, road, hybrid, recumbent, etc. The class usually runs for a little over an hour and includes flat tire repair, cleaning and lubing your bike, and a guideline of how to perform a quick safety check on your bike before you ride. We will have a short Q & A afterwards also.

Bring your friends and your front wheel if you can! If not, we have plenty of spare wheels for you to practice on.

The first class will be December 2nd; see you then!

Trek Demo Sweetness

Thanks to everyone who helped out with the demo! We had an absolute blast wrenching and meeting all of you. The turnout was huge - over 150 riders in a span of 2 cold, windy days!

We can't wait to host the demo again in the spring time. If you received a special Demo Day coupon, make sure you come in to get your favorite bike before it expires on Nov. 30th!

Trainers and Pilates - the perfect cold weather combo!

We are super excited to announce our cold weather specials this year. We will be leading in-shop trainer sessions and pilates every week.

Sunday mornings, starting Nov. 19th, from 10:30am-11:30am we will bring our no-drop road ride into the shop and form our no-drop trainer rides;) Bring your trainer, buy one from us, or rent one for $3.

Thursday evenings, starting Nov. 30th, from 8pm-9pm Derek will lead a pilates class. He has been teaching for awhile and will gear the classes towards cyclists and triathletes. He only asks that you bring your own mat with you.

Prices are $8/each class or $25/4. MultiSport Club members receive a discount. Please sign up at the shop and call before you come to make sure at least 5 people have signed up (we require a 5 person minimum attendance and a 25 person maximum attendance). CASH OR CHECK ONLY! Either call the shop or come in to register.

Now that the weather has gotten colder, these classes are perfect to keep your fitness up and your holiday belly-bulge down. Move away from the couch, stop looking at the turkey in the fridge, and get shakin'!
