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.

Hey guys, congrats on the new building. That will rock, especially with the pump track. Everyone can stop bugging you about the lack of space.
ReplyDeleteThe Sunday ride sounds fun too, will have to check it out.

Just over 2 years old. Good for you. You seemed like a pretty seasoned shop when I stopped in. Looking forward to the riding this year.
