Ride 4 Love

today Buck and Heather suited up the plaine and son rig and headed up to offer tech support at the ride for love. Thia was our second year promoting this event, and we were very excited that the number of riders had almost doubled from last year. This ride is cool, because it is 100 % a fund raiser, and offers riders the option of 75, 50, 25, or 10 mile routes. Best thing is after there was lunch from Moes! high five. We fixed a bunch of bikes and had a great time! hope to see you next year!

Look at how big it looks!

This is hot...we are all painted and the floor is complete. The store never looked better!

The Floor is Almost There

Look! 1/2 the floor is painted! We are using black paint, and when we put it on, it dries and almost looks like rubber. You need to come over and check it out. When we put the merchandise back on the new floor it really makes it pop! This store is Hot!

We are painting the other half of the store tonight, and we are excited to see it come togather.

Stop over this weekend and visit us! Saturday or Sunday...Heather will be at the shop on Sunday!

Woman Should be taken seriously

the title of this post says it all, however the picture finishs it up. Woman cyclists are not just out to hang with there men, and look good from behind. We demand a bike that fits, and looks cool too. We want comfort and performance, lets face it woman can be downright picky and hard to please.
Not in this case.

The Specialized Myka pictured here, is one sweet ride. Finally, a bike that is designed for the demands of a lady.

Weather riding with the kids, heading over to the early am soccer game, or following the pack to the local trails for one more loop, this bike will handle it all.

For our bloggers and followers only $375, and best thing yet, you can dust off the odd sized bike in the garage and trade it in. Don't wait for the holidays or mothers day, fall is the best time of year.

Make it happen now. She will love you for it.

Why is Heather Perfect for the Specialized Trail Crew????

I am perfect for the Specialized trail crew in so many ways! Not only am I a super freak who loves my bike, but I promote cycling to everyone I come in contact with. I have hands down influenced the community in the upstate NY area, by creating a trail network for people to ride, hosting and promoting mtb and road events, hosting trail building, and skill clinics, and parties. I organize pub crawls, helmet safety checks, basic bike repair clinics, and womans only rides. I Race hard, and always remember to have fun. I can school the boys on log rides, and technical trails. I used to ride for Specialized and many others as an ultra endurance freak. I have so called drank the water.I have two blogs that I update daily, one for my own riding lifestyle, and the other for the bike store I manage in Schenectady. I have an email list of over 1200 names that I send out emails to of rides, and such going on in the area. I used to be married to Wiley Mosley, old Specialized east coast demo driver, now Texan. I am insane, and fun, and crazy. You would be nuts not to let me ride a Stumpy!@!@!
