Check out the new MOB cycling caps! Arriving just in time for the season of giving, these caps are stylin' and of course they are very functional. These are excellent stocking stuffers for the biking enthusiast(s) in your life. Quantities are somewhat limited for this first run, so don't delay in swinging by the shop to grab a couple for the holidays!

Piedmont Flyers Thanksgiving Road Ride and Bikes for Kids

Commemorate the season this Thursday with the 3rd annual Piedmont Flyers Thanksgiving Day Road Ride! This casual pace road ride will leave the Lewisville Square at 9 am for about 40 miles worth of fresh air. There is also a shortcut option available for those that have to get home a little earlier to carve the turkey. This will be a great way to get psyched up for some serious feasting later in the day.

Also, as the holidays are upon us it is time once again to think about the very worthwhile "Bikes For Kids " program put on by the Piedmont Flyers. This is basically a "bike drive" that raises money for kid's bikes for children in the area that otherwise may not be able to obtain a new set of wheels. It is the season for giving, and the Flyers are in the process of taking donations to once again make this a memorable year for as many children as possible. For more information visit http://www.piedmontflyers.com/ or give us a call at the shop.

Thanks and we'll see you soon!

MOB Saturday Training Rides

Friends,

Hello to everyone. Hope all is well where you are.

We wanted to remind everyone that the Saturday road training rides have begun. The ride leaves the shop promptly at 11 am and returns around 2 in the afternoon. The average pace for this ride is around 17 mph, which is great for aerobic base building. Led by at least two MOB Cycling team members, this is a ride where no one gets dropped and everyone is sure to enjoy themselves. So put the Saturday MOB training ride on your schedule. This is a great way to log some miles with some nice folks and enjoy some good fresh air on Saturday.

Thanks and we'll see you soon!

Saturday Training Rides and Cross Baby!

Friends,

Good morning. What nice weather we are having here! This coming weekend should be awesome.

This is a reminder that the MOB Saturday training rides begin this week. This road ride will leave the shop at 11 am and return around two in the afternoon. The rides will be led by MOB cycling team members and the average speed will be 17 mph. We are really looking forward to beginning these rides this year. This is a great way to keep those pedals turning over in the cooler months when motivation can sometimes wane a little bit. These rides are at a good steady 17 mph for three hours so come prepared, but certainly no one will be dropped. We are looking forward to seeing you all for a ride this Saturday.

For those of you interested in mixing it up a little bit this time of year, head on down to Southern Pines on Sunday for round four of the NC Cyclocross series! We are right in the middle of cross season and it is so fun. The MOB Cross Syndicate is having a blast this year and coming up with some good results in the process (but most importantly having a good time). You can keep up with the action here: http://www.nccyclocross.com/. The members of the syndicate are: Chip Duckett, Charles von Isenburg, Darryl Rains, Chris Ramm, Jared Roy, Jay Cox, Bill Stein, and Mark Jordan. Keep an eye on these fine fellows; for this is a special group indeed! So, again, the series heads to Southern Pines this weekend, followed by the NC UCI event in Hendersonville the next. If you have time on Sunday, come on out to the cross race. There is a category for everyone and the racing is very spectator friendly. This is truly a great way to spend an autumn afternoon. Hopefully we will see some MOBers out over the next few weeks!

Thanks and we’ll see you soon!
