MOB in Malawi


Hey everybody, we just got a couple of pics from Laurel Jernigan of World Camp Inc. We had some mis-printed MOB tees that she took off of our hands and got into the hands of some kids that could really use them in Lilongwe, Malawi, Africa. Thanks World Camp and Laurel for all that you are doing for the kids.

Ride for Courage - Polar Bear Metric Century

Hello Friends,

The Mock Orange road ride will leave the shop at 10 am this
Saturday. There will be both an A group and a B group. The ride
will head into N. Davidson County.

As hard to believe as it is, it is already time to start thinking
about the annual "Ride for Courage - Polar Bear Metric Century" on New
Year's Day. This ride benefits Cancer Services and is a great way to get
the new year started off on the right foot. Here is some text from the
official website: "So, why ride on New Year's Day?
It takes courage to face the reality of a cancer diagnosis. While it
will never match the fortitude required to battle cancer, we invite you
to dig deep, face the frost and hop on your bike as we raise money for
Cancer Services in Winston-Salem". Cancer Services main mission is to
"to enhance the quality of life for those living with cancer and to
provide the gift of life through education". Also, check out some great
training tips for this ride at http://www.trainpolar.org/. You can get all the
information on this ride and register online at http://www.gopolar.org/.

The NC Cyclocross Series heads to the sandhills of Southern Pines,
NC this weekend. For more info visit http://www.nccyclocross.com/.

Thanks!

Endura



It's nice outside today, but there is winter weather in our future. Do you have what you need to keep riding as the days get even shorter and the temperature drops? We've found this little company based in Scotland that makes some of the warmest and driest riding gear around. We've been selling Endura's mountain bike shorts and jerseys all summer, and they've been awesome. Now, we're ready to get into the gear that they're best known for, the stuff to keep you riding when the temps are at or below freezing, there is rain or sleet in the air, and you still can't bear to sit at home on the couch.

Josh from Endura will be at the shop from 4 to 6pm on Wednesday of next week (Nov 12th). He'll have samples of their whole line, and he'll be able to answer any questions that folks might have.

Afterwards, he'll join us on the Wednesday night Salem Lake ride, so charge up your lights, come check out Endura and join us for the ride.
