We’ve become more Specialized

Last week, Specialized Canada’s Jason came in and filled our heads with knowledge on the company’s popular, functional and well thought out Body Geometry line of saddles, shoes, footbeds, grips and gloves. The staff at Local Ride are now Body Geometry certified and will be happy to help you get the right Body Geometry accessories to make your ride more comfortable. Barry was especially excited about the big S’s accessories, such as the stylin’ Toro sunglasses with Adaptalite photochromic lenses.

Weekly Specials 
Sugoi’s “Wired” long-sleeve is a full stretch wicking midweight base layer that is fleeced on the inside for amazing comfort. Its unique functional, integrated electronics pocket is the best way ever to take music on the go. We’ve taken 20% off the regular price of $94.95 this week. They’re available in men’s and women’s. Come try one on today. This versatile piece of clothing is a great gift idea! Have a cyclist on your list? We have lots of other gift ideas, so stop by the shop. 

Featured Product 
One of the most exciting developments with Specialized is the Body Geometry footbed system. Specialized Body Geometry footbeds are designed to maximize comfort while cycling, decrease the risk of injury and increase performance by offering a near-custom fit at an affordable price. With Specialized’s Arch-o-meter, we can measure your feet, set you up with the correct insoles for your arches, and adjust the canting of your shoes with shims to ensure your knees track straight while pedaling for greater efficiency and comfort. At $69.95, Specialized Body Geometry footbeds are a small price to pay for more comfort and power during cycling. Most Specialized shoes include the standard Body Geometry footbeds, but the after-market upgrades will fit any cycling shoe and come in different arch heights. 

Spinning! 
Our weekly Monday Night Spin Sessions have started! We kick things off at 6:15 p.m. Bring your bike, trainer, shoes, two towels (one for yourself and one for under your bike) lots of water and $5 for the drop in fee. If you don’t have your own trainer, we’ll have a limited number of rentals available for $5 per session. Workouts generally last between one and two hours. 

Want to do some indoor training at home? We offer Spinerval DVD rentals at $5 for two days. We’ll have a bigger selection of training DVD’s available in December. 

Sunday Rides 
Unfortunately our Sunday Morning Ride was cancelled due to black ice on the roads. We hope you all managed to get out and enjoy yourselves anyway. Sunday Morning Rides will be up and running again this weekend, since the temperature has risen above ‘0′ and the roads are clear.  

Join us regularly for a Sunday road ride. Depending on numbers, we’ll try to split into an “A” and “B” group. The “A” Group normally averages around 30kph for 3+ hours, while the “B” Group hovers around 25kph for 2+ hours. Road bikes and fenders (with extenders) are highly recommended. Make sure you join us for coffee before we head off:  

Where: Starbuck’s at Valley Fair Mall, Lougheed Hwy., Maple Ridge 
When: Sundays @ 8:30 a.m. for coffee; ETD @ 9:00 a.m.
