We’re in the middle of prime cycling season in Maple Ridge, with those beautiful sunny days and long warm evenings. The trails are dry and in great shape for mountain biking, and the shady backroads of Golden Ears Park and Mission are perfect for escaping the heat. If you’d like to rediscover your hometown by bike, we can help you out at Local Ride with service, new bikes, clothing, accessories, and ride advice.
If you’re in the market for a new bike and there’s a particular one you’ve had your eye on all year, don’t wait any longer! Manufacturers are quickly running out of 2009 models, and our remaining inventory is dwindling with the anticipation of the 2010 models. Stay tuned for end-of-season sales in the coming weeks.
