An MOB Holiday: Crossmas Ride

Friends,

For part five of “A Mock Orange Christmas” we have Smith Optics! These sunglasses are very functional on the bike as well as being very, very groovy for casual use. They make excellent holiday gifts. All styles are available at the Mock Orange.

Come and join the MOB Crew for a ‘cross bike ride out to tanglewood the day after Christmas! The “’Crossmas Ride of ‘06” will depart Mock Orange at 1:00 on December 26. We will ride out to Tanglewood, ride the trails at the park, and ride on home. Allow about four hours for the entire ride, or you could just meet us at Tanglewood around two or so. Merry ‘Crossmas!

Thaks and we’ll see you soon!

An MOB Holiday- Bag in a Box

Friends,

As part four in our series of neat holiday gifts, we have Timbuk2’s “Bag in a Box.” This idea is great because it offers a way to create a custom colored messenger-style bag. The recipient of this gift will visit Timbuk2’s website, pick any style messenger bag, and then design the color scheme any way they see fit! These bags are functional, very cool, and definitely a safe bet for the hard-to-shop-for crowd.

The MOB Saturday Road Ride will leave from the shop tomorrow at 11 am as usual. This ride generally last two and a half to three hours, and is at about a 17-19 mph pace. This is great winter time training, and the weather should be really nice tomorrow, especially for this time of year. We will ride north of Winston-Salem, thru Germanton, and back home through the King area. See you then!

Looking ahead to Christmas Eve, Charles will be leading another one of his quickly approaching legendary status mountain bike rides out to Salem Lake. (Check out the pics from the Thanksgiving Tofurkey Ride) The “Happy Festivus Ride” will commence at 10 am on Sunday, December 24. The ride will meet at the shop. Round trip the ride will take between three and four hours. Come celebrate the season with a mountain bike ride on Christmas Eve!

Thanks and we’ll see you soon!

An MOB Holiday- Coffee Edition

Friends,

Is there a better way to begin your holiday morning bike rides than with a nice cup of coffee? Certainly not. In fact, some people will not even get on the bike without at least one cup of java. Well, now at MOB, you can pick up your custom blended MOJoe coffee! Available in a light roast (Mello-Velo) and a darker roast version (Manic Mechanic-for Charles), you will be ready to hit the road or trail after a cup of either. Of course, this is a great holiday gift idea for any coffee drinker on your list.

Thanks!

Mock Orange Jerseys

Friends,

The long awaited Mock Orange Bikes Shop Jerseys are nearly a reality! There will be two versions, a sweet orange and blue version, included here, and a “classic” version that is pink and brown and sans various manufacturer logos found on the orange and blue version. We are doing a fairly limited run of the jerseys this time around, so if you are sure that you would like to have one, a deposit of $25 per jersey by December 9th will insure that you receive your specified quantity. The jerseys should be in the shop by early February.

Thanks!
