Bike 29 News
With biking season coming close, I figured I can let a few cats out of the bag to help get people fired up to ride.
The biggest cat, is in fact Catamount. Five Hills Bikes will be a proud sponsor of their ongoing summer training races. What does this mean? Well, myself, and a few other Burlington area shops will be lending a hand every Wednesday night this summer to the racers who gather at Catamount Family Center. Besides moral and tech support, we will no doubt be throwing down for some post race BBQ and "recovery" drinks.
As part of our agreement, we'll be providing demo bikes for Catamount's patrons to check out.
That means if anyone interested in demoing a 29er off road, in real mountain biking scenarios, has access. There will be more details as to what bikes will be available in the coming weeks.
There are the beginning rumblings of the soon to be legendary Bike 29 Meat-up. Details are still being flushed out, but the official venue and schedule of events promise to be one to write home about. Hang on to your hats boys and girls, this will be an event to remember.
I expect firm details of the Meat-up to be available early next week.
Bike 29 is also a proud sponsor of Crooked Cog's Big Wheeled Ballyhoo. Although they "borrowed" the idea from my Meat-up, they have certainly raised the bar. The event will be held in Decorah Iowa. With any luck, I'll be able to attend. I've never ridden in the Midwest, and I think it will be a ton of fun.
In product news, Niner has a new bike that will be unveiled at Sea Otter. I can hardly wait, and I am bursting at the seams about this bike. Needless to say, there will be one in my quiver. Optomism points to a June release, but we'll have to see. The RIP was supposed to be out in June last year, and widespread availability is only just now being realized.
