Happy New Year from your friends at Local Ride Bike Shop! For 2012, we are putting on a new face through an extensive renovation and remodel at the store. If you haven’t come by yet to see the changes, drop in sometime! Don’t worry – even though the store looks new, you will still get the same excellent service from us, from advice on bike fit, a tune-up on your ride, to a tour of the Giant‘s great line-up of 2012 bikes.

Thanks for helping us make 2011 such a fantastic year. Whether you volunteered at one of our events, participated in Barry’s Roubaix, Race the Ridge, or Pumpkin Cross, cheered on our team racers, or just came to see what Local Ride Bike Shop is all about, you contributed to our goal of promoting the sport of cycling in the community!

What’s on tap…

As usual, we have big plans for the coming year:

• Saturday Morning Road Rides are picking up again. Everyone is welcome (click HERE for more details).
• The reno’s will be completed soon and we plan to mark the event with a celebration. Stay tuned for details.
• We are scheduling more cycling and bike maintenance clinics for the New Year and will announce the dates soon.
• Barry’s Roubaix, Race the Ridge, and Pumpkin Cross are definitely happening again. It’s going to be Race the Ridge’s 10-Year Anniversary, so expect something special! Online registration will open Jan. 3 at noon at www.karelo.com.
