Trek/Gary Fisher Ultimate Demo Tour makes a stop at Ray’s MTB

Cleveland, Ohio this coming March 1^st and 2^nd (Saturday and Sunday) from 10am till 5pm each day.

So much to say and so little time

Well as the many long time readers (pause for laughter to subside) know the 3rd annual Warehouse Sale is quickly approaching. It is scheduled for Ferbruary 24th from 8am to 5pm. It is best to show up early if you want the best deals. My free time has been given up to get the warehouse ready for yet another banner year.

In the meantime, Professional Cycling has once again shown how silly they can truely be.

On February 13th, the Amaury Sports Organization (ASO) barred Team Astana from competing in any race or event organized by the ASO in 2008. The ASO owns premiere cycling events like Paris-Nice, Paris-Roubaix, Paris-Tours, and the famed Tour de France.

The ASO cited the doping scandals of last year’s Tour de France as justification.

BE HEARD

Help put Levi’s dreams back on track by signing the petition to Let Levi Ride. Petitions will be sent directly to Christian Prudhomme, Director of the ASO, as well as to VS, the official US media partner of the Tour de France.

Please visit www.letleviride.com and sign the petition!

Wait for it...

Yet another glimpse of the Joki...wait for it...Somebody blew that out...

This is what I have to deal with...

On a daily basis...and everyone wonders why I am bald.

Trust in your 29er and it will guide you thru!

So after being sick for what seems like all of 2007, I am finally feeling better and, stop the presses, went riding...OUTSIDE! Pause for for everyone to catch their breath...

Saturday was the typical early season ride where you realize that you are way fatter than you thought and you are way more out of shape than you had convinced yourself walking the dog. I did, however, get to ride my new communter bike. I took a old Bianchi cross frame and added what I consider the perfect gearing and some fenders to prepare myself for ridding for my health, the world and our future (sorry poor marketing plug). Saturday was everyhting I thought it would be on the bike but hurt way more off the bike. I think my butt is still sore. Stupid Aspide... I need to find another saddle!

So on to Sunday. My beautiful wife woke me up at 7:30 and said, "it's frozen out get up we are going mountain biking!" I agreed, rolled over and went back to bed. She then unleashed her secret weapon...Sophie, our 78 pound lab puppy. WHo prceeded to lay on my chest and lick my face untill I got up. A couple of rounds with the pump and a little lube and two bikes were ready to ride. We cruised to the local trails and sure enough if who doesn't come rollin' up but Joki...

We rode the warm up trail which was a ice rink and headed over to the other side and rode the knife edge between riding on the ice and hoping you didn't fall. Long story short, 29ers rule! The only way we were able to ride was because of the larger contact patch. A little trust in the abilities of the bike and the riding was awesome (sorry Lola and Joki for being dumb and reckless)
