Where are my bike shoes
Where have I left my helmet
Is it in the car
The trail calls to me
The sun shines in my window
My bike is ready
-Guy
That wonderful hill.
Take my wheel, my turn to pull.
Exhilaration!
Damn that traffic jam.
Oh wait, I'm riding my bike,
Love that traffic jam!
-David
Buy an Orbea
It’s the best on the market
Win the criterium

New ride schedule starting this Saturday, March 17!
Friends,
Starting this Saturday, March 17, the MOB Saturday road rides for the spring and summer season will begin. There will actually be two rides, a “B” style ride leaving at 10 and starting next Saturday, March 24, a “Women’s Ride” lead by Erika von Isenburg, at 12 noon. These rides will be great fun so come on out.
The 10 am ride will be a two and a half to three hour ride in and around the greater Winston-Salem area. North, South, East, or West, nowhere is off limits for this ride. Average pace will be between 14-16 mph. Do come prepared for at least two hours in the saddle for this one. This ride is truly a great way to kick off the weekend with some nice fresh air!
The 12 o’clock “Women’s Ride” will be lead by Erika von Isenburg. This outing will be geared toward women who like to ride and the focus will be more of a “social” one than a pure “training” type ride. This ride will alternate between road biking and mountain biking bi-weekly. The first of these rides will be a mountain bike ride at Tanglewood Park at noon on March 24. This is an excellent way to meet other women who like to go for bike rides. If you have any questions, please contact the shop.
Thanks and we’ll see you soon!

Race Report: Weekend Success in Greenville
We received this race report from Evan Solida, MOB Cycling Team Captain, regarding week two of the Greenville Spring Training Series in Greenville, SC:
Craig scored the BIG win in Greenville this past sunday by attacking a 6-man breakaway and coming in solo for an astounding victory. Add this to a win at Wake Speedway in January and a 3rd at BMW, as well as 4th on Saturday, and Craig will be joining Zach in competing in the Pro/1/2 field.
Zach, AJ, Chris, Frank and I all pulled in some good results and strong finishes yet again this weekend.
Poor Chris flatted half a mile from the finish. I managed to get 9th on Saturday in a break in-between
Craig's group and the pack. It's only March 5th and
the team is proving to be very strong, even with limited numbers.
Add the fact that Craig had to borrow AJ's bike 5-minutes before the start of the event and it's even more impressive.
Good going, guys!
