Hello Friends,
We hope everyone is enjoying this fine holiday season! Hopefully you all have been able to take advantage of this mild weather pattern with some nice fresh air.
We did want to remind everyone that we will be open from 9:30 - 6 pm this Thursday, New Year's Day. This should be a great day around the MOB! We will be supporting Polar Bear Ride for Courage in the morning, so bust the road the road bike and start the New Year in proper fashion! Then in the early part of the afternoon, we will be serving up some southern style New Years refreshments over here at the shop. And then for the New Year's Day late risers, there will be a Salem Lake MTB ride leaving the shop at 3 pm. There will be special pricing on various items throughout the store as well; particularly the 2009 Look 566 model will be marked down ten percent.
Looking forward to the weekend, Mock Orange is happy to present the second race of the North Carolina Winter Cyclocross Series! This race will take place this Sunday, January 4, at SECCA(the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art)in Winston-Salem. If you've not participated in or witnessed a cross race, don't miss this opportunity! Much fun will be had by all. SECCA is a great resource for the Winston-Salem arts community and they have been very gracious in letting us utilize their grounds for these cyclocross events. You can visit www.nccyclocross.com for more information on this weekend's racing and the remainder of the winter series.
The Saturday morning Road Rides have been great this year! MOB Team member Rodney Simpson does an excellent job organizing these rides and they are a great way to get in those much needed base miles. The rides consist of both an A and B group and are intended for low intensity training. The rides usually last about three hours. These rides leave the shop at 10am every Saturday.
Finally, for the night prior to the cross race at SECCA, January 3; be sure not to miss the Tanglewood Festival of Lights by bike! For one night only the park will be closed to cars and open to bikes. This is a great way to experience the Festival of Lights if you've not done so. The cost is $3 per person and the rides begin at 6 pm with the last one leaving at 8. Helmets are required and headlights and tail lights are recommended. There is a brief registration and safety talk, and then it's on to see the lights! This is a great activity for the whole family. Cruise on over to Tanglewood on the evening of the 3rd of January to experience the Festival of Lights by Bike!
Thanks!
