Traffic Jam and a Snot Filled Tissue.

Wow, it's almost October. Infact, it's pretty much October.
On October 1st, we get the keys to the new store. It's much bigger than our current lodgings and in a much better location. I'm sure you won't have too much trouble finding it. It's very purple and very green. I do believe it's 12 - 9th Avenue South. Just off Baker. Anyway, we get the keys and we get to start the process of renovating over again. No worries, this time it's gonna be quick and easy. Thanks to everyone who has offered to help... it's like you guys like us. For this we are greatful and remain your loyal bicycle servants. So, stay tuned for more news on the new store front... ha ha... get it 'store front!' That's what us intlecktuals like to call a play on words. Clang.
We're also coming up on an aniversary here folks. You folks have kept us around for almost 2 years. December 1st is the 2 year mark. Can you believe it? We'll have a new sign, but it'll be the same shop with the same attitude and same poor spelling.
Traffic Jam 2009 was kick ass to say the least. It's going to be bigger in the future, but that's the future. Right now, let's discuss the present... or the past now, because it happened on the 27th.. a couple days ago. Two lanes of wooden stunts... racing... prizes and loud music. There was also some dork with a microphone. Spectacular. No major injuries and no complaints... that I've heard yet. As far as I can tell, it was great. Let's leave it at that. Contact us to see pictures.
2010 is right around the courner. If you are planning to get you a 2010 bike... come see us. We have some early season prices for you. Lay your cash down now and get a smokin' deal on a 2010 cycle.
I have the sniffles right now and a bit of a cough. This of course sucks.

Bloggin for the sake of blogging.

Shit. I got nothing for you right now.

13 Things That You May or May Not Know.

1. The Cranbrook Fiver is an XC race and it's happening on the 13th of September. Meet us at 10am at the first parking lot on Mt. Baker Road... that's 2nd street... under the power lines and turn left into the parking lot. Two divisions... boys and girls. 5 bucks to get into the race and the winner will take half of that home. The rest goes to the next race... which has not been planned yet. The course is 19.2 km and has 2050 feet of climbing. Yes, the Roller Coster (upper and lower) are part of the course. Yes, the course ends on an up hill. Call the shop for more details.

2. Traffic Jam 2009 is on it's way. It's a side by side speed trials type race that should be quite fun. September 27th is the date. We're hoping ot have in on 10th Ave between Baker and 1st Street south. More details in a few days.

3. We are moving. To the old Vibe building on 9th. Almost 3 times the space to do what we do.

4. Everything is on sale so we don't have to move it. Come see what we've got.

5. It is night riding season and lights are actually somewhat affordable.. especially when they can make your xc and dh seasons longer.

6. We will soon have Cranbrook's first indoor pump track.

7. Favorit Cycles sponsors a local young man in demolition derbies. Come see the action this weekend in Fernie. Sunday at noon at the rodeo grounds.

8. Bookings for 2010 bikes are going in soon. Book your bike early and save a pile of cash.

9. We may take your bike on trade in. Ask for details.

10. Don't be fooled by the tattoos, I'm a Star Wars nerd.

11. Favorit is fav-rit, not favourite.

12. The last four digits of our phone number is the same as a shop in Fernie.

13. December 1st, we'll be 2 years old.

14. The Pedal and Pint is now a Wednesday night thing. It will likely become a night ride thing here soon too. Meet at the shop at 7pm on Wednesday nights.

Originally it was going to be 15 things that you may or may not know. But I ran out of things to write about. This whole blogging thing takes a lot out of a guy, ya know. That's my dog Jake up at the top.
