Saturday A.M. Ladies' Ride!

Well hello there! Just a quick reminder that this Saturday morning we're going to meet here at the Trek Store around 9:45 and leave by 10 a.m. heading south (if the wind is cooperating) on the Keystone. We'll ride til we feel like turning around and then swing by Caribou Coffee on the way back. It's a fun, casual ride and the weather is supposed to be nice, so no excuses girls!!!

Also, come ride inside with the gals on Tuesdays; I'll be here at the Trek Store spinning away for our trainer nights from 7-8p.m. Tuesdays are specifically Ladies' Nights, but we won't kick you out if you're a guy (I guess). Bring $2, your bike, and a trainer (or you can rent a trainer from us for 3 bucks more) and chat with the girls as we ride off our winter laziness! I think this Saturday should be a special invite to those of you who have never ridden with us on a Ladies Ride. That's right, I'm calling you all out here; show your faces and ride!! It's fun, I promise. Or at least show up on Tuesday...and you know, the weather is no longer a valid excuse once we're indoors!! :)
Have a great weekend everyone!

We're ready!

Congratulations to all our 2005 Trek University graduates. Sarah, Charlie, Kristin, Lori, Chad R, Chad M and Jim. We're all ready to answer your questions on all things Trek, Fisher, Lemond & Bontrager. Did you know that Lance won all 7 of his Tour De Frances on the same production frames you can buy off our showroom floor? Or that Gary Fisher came up with Genesis geometry after flipping over the bars and breaking his wrist? All this knowledge and much less trivial information is all at your fingertips, just ask one of our staff.

New Arrival: Trek Portland

I don't know if I'll be able to live without one of these. I posted some photos of this sweet ride on MTB Omaha when I was up at the Trek show. One magically appeared in the back of a UPS truck this morning which leads me to believe that this is Kent's new commuter. Avid road disc brakes, disc specific road wheels and one of the new Switchblade Satelite Plus carbon forks. There's some interesting rivnuts on the inside of the fork blades. Not quite sure what they are for yet but looks like you may be able to run a full wrap fender without brake caliper interference. The brake position on the back is fender and rack compatible. It comes with a pretty sweet pair of clip on fenders though. It's has the new 10spd 105 stuff on it as well. All built up with pedals, 22 1/4 pounds, not bad for a disc brake road bike super commuter. All this for only $1399. If this rides anything like my Lemond Poprad CX bike it will be perfect for zipping around mid-town or down the keystone.

New Arrival: Conti Indoor Tire

Finally, the much anticipated Continental Ultra Sport Hometrainer tires have arrived. These tires are made with a much more durable compound to hold up to the higher friction loads put on them be indoor trainers. They sell for $40 and the best part is you only need one.

Which reminds me, indoor trainer rides will start Tuesday, January 10th. Cost is $2 per night, free to active club members with your trainer night coupon. If you don't have a trainer you can rent one of our top of line Cyclops Fluid 2 trainers for just $3.


Our schedule here at the Trek Store will be a bit different from that of our friends over at Highgear. If you're looking for a hardcore workout, checkout the Highgear schedule. "...and now for something completely different." If comraderie is more your style, check out our indoor schedule.

Tuesday Ladies Night - As the name implies, Ladies only. Although we won't turn away any gents, although you may be required to wear a dress to participate. Stop in and check it out, meet some new friends, visit with some old ones, all while watching the groups choice of DVD.

Wednesday Off-Road Night - Trails are wet? Ride inside with us. Bring your mountain bike in with a slick rear tire or ride your road or cyclocross bike. Either way, we'll have fun watching the latest freeride mountain bike DVD's.

Thursday Road Night - Alright, tonights the night for all you hardcore road riders looking to get a jump on the season. We have a handful of CTS training videos so you can work on gaining that early season fitness.

If you have questions or comments post them on the link below and we'll try and answer them as quickly as possible.
