New Arrival: Got Cold Feet?

You don't have to if you pick up a pair of these fine Lake winter cycling shoes. Made with Outlast smart fabric and Pittards leather, they will keep your feet warm on even the coldest of days. Outlast fabric is designed to transfer heat throughout the garment keeping the hot spots cool and cool spots warm, while Pittards leather sheds the elements but breaths better than membrane style synthetics. With a SPD compatible sole you're sure to stay firmly attached to your bike as you cruise off into a winter wonderland. MSRP $249.99

Light is fading...

...and it's getting colder, but that doesn't mean you have to stop riding. Join us Tuesday and Wednesday evenings for our Indoor Trainer Nights. Tuesday evenings will again be reserved for all you ladies while Wednesdays will be an open night. Majority rules on what the nights feature film will be. Choose from the latest road or mountain DVD's or ride to one of the CTS workout DVD's.

Each night is $2 per rider, free to active club members.

Don't have a trainer or maybe it's a little worn out. No worries, we have Cyclops' top of the line Fluid2 trainers available to rent. Just $3 a night, first come, first serve, riser blocks included.

Tuesdays ~ Ladies Night, 7:00pm-8:30pm

Wednesdays ~ Open Night, 7:00pm-8:30pm

See you there!!!

Kansas City 'Cross

PBjr and I made the trip down to KC to visit our brothers and sisters from the TREK Store Kansas City. The race course was excellent with technical corners, a bit of sand and a dirt run-up. TREK/VW Midwest rider Bill Stolte won the men's 1,2,3 category. Lincolnite Troy Krause (TREK KC) won the masters event with Trek/Highgear sponsored Midwest Wheelmasters rider Sydney Brown winning the women's. All in all a great day of racing.

The Legend is Coming...

We've been searching the globe for a new brand of mountain bikes to compliment Fisher and Trek's already stacked line of off-road machines. Actually we didn't find a new brand at all. We found an original. Allow us to introduce Yeti Cycles as the newest member of the Trek Store family. Yeti has as deep a tradition in mountain biking as any company around and we welcome them with open arms. John Tomac, Juliana Furtado, Missy Giove, Myles Rockwell, Jimmy Deation and many others got their start racing for John Parkers Durango based company. Now located on the front range in Golden, Colorado, they make some of the best bikes in the world. Yeti's history section on their website might still be under construction, but click on the photo below to take a tour of the factory.

Bikes will be in the store soon. We'll keep you posted.
