The Anomaly's Of Spring

Woo Hoo! It's 2011 and we didn't get the chance to say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, so here it is, better late then never.

It's nearly riding season. You know how we know? Because Pedal N Pints are happening every Thursday night leaving from the shop at 6pm. Another reason it's almost riding season is because as I look out the window, it is raining. And this means the rain will melt the snow. This is good.

Favorit has a whack load of stuff going on in 2011. You should come in the shop sometime and talk about it, or I can write it here and you can read about it. Cool.

For 2011, group rides are key. Get out riding with people, it's a good time and there are people to talk to, and try to beat up the hill. We have a couple of group rides going on throughout the year, starting when the weather gets nice and the trails are clear.

FWO - For Women Only - Ladies rides are happening and they are going to be awesome. Tuesday nights they will be happening, starting at 7pm and leaving from the shop. If the meeting point (the shop) ever changes, we will post it. It might start wherever the ladies will be riding, such as the Community Forest. Just give us a call and we'll fill you in. 250-489-3532. All levels of riding are welcome. Come in and talk to us and we can introduce you to some of the ladies that will be participating.

PEDAL N PINT (Co-Ed group ride) - This event will be happening Thursday nights starting at 7pm from the shop. Right now, March 9th, we are leaving at 6pm just to catch some light hours. We go for a Pedal for a bit, then we Pint for a bit at the local watering hole. It's a good time, you should come out for one. They are happening as we speak! Don't worry about not getting into the bar if your not of age, you can definately still come on the ride.

SIX IN THE STIX - AWESOME! Last years event saw 47 of the areas toughest riders battling it out for the 6 hour enduro during Turkey weekend of October. You thought that was a good time? This year is going to be bigger, badder, and better. New course, more prizes, and more fun! It's set up for Turkey weekend again this year. Come out and give it your all to try to claim the Fastest Overall title, or to have a really great time!

TRAFFIC JAM - Again, bigger and better is the name of the game for this years event. It will be a lot more rider friendly this year. It will be happening Saturday, June 18th during Sam Steele Days. Come in to the shop for more info, and to see the model that was created of the course. Yeah, we had some time on our hands.

CRANBERLEY FIVER XC RACES - You wanted XC races? We got 'em! We have one going on every month for the summer. Yeah, good times. The first one is on Sunday, April 17th. 5 bucks. That's it. Try your hand at an XC race, or come out and support your local racers. For more info: 250-489-3532.

Anything else you want to know? Just phone the shop 250-489-3532, or come on down and say hi.

Sooooooo....what's new in the shop you ask? We'll there is a bunch of stuff. For one there are a bunch of brand spankin new 2011's in the shop from Giant, Trek, and Opus. Another new thing is that we got a new counter top on the desk. It's pretty sick. And one last thing that is new, James is munchin on oriental trail mix, and is now applying a band-aid because the oriental trail mix got out of hand.
