Rider Appreciation Night, Oh Yeah!

Okay friends, definitely plan to join us on Tuesday, August 1, for the first annual MOB “Rider Appreciation Night.” We will meet at the normal time of 6, do a loop around town, and upon our return to the shop we will head to the famous MOB porch for refreshments. This will be the first “official” use of the veranda here at MOB, and we are so looking forward to it! Come on down next Tuesday and enjoy the ride as well as some quality off-the-bike time with the “crew.” A rockin’ time will be had by all!

Between now and then, don’t forget the Saturday morning road ride. We leave the shop every Saturday at 9 am for a three hour cruise. This week we will ride to Lewisville, heading out Shallowford Road and coming back in via Old Stage Road. This is a fairly popular route in the area and is always nice this time of year. We will leave from the shop at 9 and plan to be back around 12.

Looking ahead to August 6th, The Hanes Park Criterium returns. Come on down to this killer Winston-Salem event to take part in the action or simply to spectate. This year this event is the final day in the Crossroads Cycling Classic, a four day crit series around the region. The course down here is just over a mile long and is wide, safe, and fast. This is a great race for new riders and experienced ones as well. Come by the shop on the 6th of August, we will be swingin’ that day for sure! Stay tuned for more details…

Another American in Paris?

I trust you all have been enjoying the big bike race in France this year. We here at MOB certainly have. It was totally awesome yesterday to see that “other” American slide into the Yellow Jersey. Good work Floyd Landis! Of course, it is nice to see all those American guys do well in the big races. Even in the “post Lance era” you’ve got guys like Levi Leiphiemer, Dave Zabriskie, and George Hincapie to keep the patriotic flames afire. Hopefully one or more of those riders can win a stage or two this year before the “big show” draws to a close. In the meantime, it will be good to see a long and prosperous reign in Yellow for Floyd Landis this year.

If you have not been by the shop lately, come on by and check out the latest in stylish off the bike headwear from MOB. The new “mobilt” MOB baseball hats are here and boy they are snazzy! Also, unbeknownst to many folks, Chris King, famous for bomb proof headsets for bicycles, also roasts a mean coffee bean. Come by and sample a cup of the “Rocket Brew.” You may want to grab a bag for a little “rocket” power!
