Don’t make us box it up!



Come and get it, so we don’t have to haul it!

When we decied to move the shop to Victor the immediate first reaction was “Holy Cow! How are going to move all this stuff?” Well, that’s where you come in. Over the next month, we are prepared to make you a series of offers that hopefully you can’t refuse. Basically, we are launching a progressive sale to entice you to come and get it!

If you haven’t put two and two together already, a progressive sale means that each week the deals will get even better - that is, until we close the doors on December 2nd and take what’s left to Victor. Some stuff is priced to move already and won’t be lowered any further. For instance, Giant Bikes are now 30% off and will not go lower. Other stuff that falls into the general “Parts & Accessories” category will drop a little in price each week until they are gone. The key to remember is that we will not be reordering any more stuff until we move.

The best way to keep an eye on the weekly deals is to check out our Facebook Page and “like” us for Deal Alerts. Below is a sneak peak of what to expect in the coming weeks. Come on in and treat yourself to something new or get a jump on the Holiday shopping and SAVE BIG!

The 12th Hour is the Darkest Hour



Sounds great. Sign me up! Red Bell is making a splash at the Village this year with it’s Final Descent Series. It’s a 12 hour race this Saturday, mixing endurance with downhill adrenaline: two of a Jacksonite’s favorite things. If you aren’t into riding the race, you can always enjoy the after party at Nick Wilson’s.

BikeWire + Fitzy’s = Recycling



Last fall Fitzgerald’s Bicycles was happy to find out that he could find someone to haul his old (heavy) monitors 4 miles to the recycling center. If you want to see this video on the big screen, be sure to check out the last Bike-In Movie tonight!

In addition, Fitzy’s will be donating a Haro Cruiser to the raffle! Beers under the stars, delicious brews, winning a cruiser, watching kids ride bicycles to save E.T. from the po-lice? Yeah, those dinner plans can be pushed back a day or two.

Moose Cross Registration is Open!



Here’s some ‘Cross info from our friends at Victor Velo:

Cyclocross season is almost here in Victor, ID and we hope that you are planning to join us for Moose Cross.

The Moose Cross Cyclocross Festival will again be our premier event and will take place October 8-9, 2011.

We are excited to announce that Saturday’s Moose Cross race will be held in conjunction with Grand Teton Brewing’s Oktoberfest this year. Come for the racing, stay for the party! Your Moose Cross entry includes a FREE ticket into Oktoberfest, a $10 value.

In 2010 we had over 100 racers come from out of town and we look forward to seeing our cyclocross friends from Montana, Utah, Washington, Nevada, and other parts of Idaho again this year.

Registration for the 2011 edition of Moose Cross goes live tonight at 7 PM Mountain Time. If you are planning to come to Moose Cross, please register online as soon as possible. Racers from out of town look at the pre-registration and a solid list of racers might influence them to come to Moose Cross. We are hoping to increase our numbers this year and we need to do everything we can to show that we put on a first-class event.

Register Here for Moose Cross.

Pierre’s Hole Race Report from “The” Dave Saurman




Hey Riders, So another session of self abuse at Pierre’s Hole this past Saturday. Tons of fun. A great turn out from the locals and others from all over the planet. And maybe a few from nearby planets? A leisurely start at 10:15 for the 50 milers. It was warm, dry and never got above 75 degrees. Perfect race conditions as the weeks rains made the course tacky. Some new trail( still a bit bumpy) but good to mix it up.

I had ridden some of the course last Wednesday and Mill Creek specifically was scary with a water runnel right down the middle of the trail. Thanks to Troy Barry and his crew for making it much more rid able.

The race was fun - though seemed to hurt more than usual. As the 40+ champ for the last two years, I had a lot to live up to…….or not. I knew going in there was some stiff competition this year. A lot of strong contenders not from here.

I had a good start, I had an awesome first decent of Mill creek. I hammered the road up to Bustle Creek decent. I was amazed how many I passed. at one point, like 15at once? The usually long hump up Dry Creek (really painful) and out into Ricks kind of by myself. Start/Finish and off for the second lap. Now the pain increasing. Even better descent down Mill Creek ( as there was no one in front of me) and another good road climb. An OK descent to the Dry Creek #2. Now the pain really begins. I was passed by a few not in my class, and maybe one in the 40 +? I did not care, I kept pushing forward, but not fast enough. Finally the top and slowly into Ricks again. Now I was home. 8 miles to go. Then I began to Cramp. The inner thighs. Damn I hate that. I popped my last 3 Ecaps and moved on. It helped for a while, but a mile from the end I started to cramp agian. Damn. Then I saw some dude, a 100 miler on his last lap and asked him if he had Ecaps? He looked, actually stopped in the middle of his race and found none. I found one last shot of my Egooo and I guess there was enough lytes in it to save me. I finished. Yeah. With no good training except racing, I felt good about my race. I had record time and ended up 4th in the 40+ and a podium as they went 5 deep!! Not bad for this fat out of shape geezer.

Just happy for another clean race, no crashes, no bonks, no flats and no mechanicals.

Oh, and congrats to all my buddies for there podiums. I think just about everyone got a spot.

Cheers, DS
