Time to Go Muddin’: CX Sale

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

In order for us to properly express our excitement for the upcoming CX season, it’s only fitting that we get the ball rolling with a Cyclocross bike and Gear sale. We’re offering 10-25% off cyclocross bikes, and 15% off CX gear. The sale will be going on up until our epic CX kickoff party on 9/23.

We want to make it easy for you to try out one out our favorite type of racing. If you’re a roadie and you’re entertaining the idea of racing CX, all you need is a bike, MTB shoes, and MTB pedals (embrocation is also strongly reccomended). Lucky for you, we have all that and more. Stop by the shop, check out our CX selection, and we’ll take care of you.

Its time to go Muddin’.

Ring in the CX year

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

It’s that time of the year again. The road season is coming to a burnt-out end, the weather (hopefully soon) gets cooler, and we start to long for mud and cowbells. the 2010 cyclocross season is set to kick off with Nittany Lion ‘Cross on September 11th. The season will be chock full of barriers, caution tape, and screaming fans.

In celebration of our favorite racing season, We’re throwing another season kickoff party. The event will take place at the shop on Thursday, September 23rd, from 7-9PM. We will be showing some epic CX movies, drinking delicious Kelso Beer, and its rumored that Wafels & Dinges might unexpectedly show up.

We will have our CX bikes and equipment out and ready to go. We’ll have some excellent embrocation from Mad Alchemy and Sportique for you to try out. If you’re interested in trying out this awesome sport, then stop by. We’ve got all the equipment an awkward roadie needs to transform into a barrier hopping, beer guzzling machine.

While you’re at it, don’t forget to pre-register for Staten CX, which is going down on 11/13. It’s the only (and therefore the best) Cyclocross race in NYC.

Hup Hup Hup!

TDF Hangover SALE!

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Now that the cyclist’s version of March madness is over and done with, we’re all left feeling a bit empty inside. No longer do we have an excuse to slack off in the middle of the day while our favorite spandex-clad athletes traipse all over France for a month of pain and suffering. This year’s tour was especially exciting, and we’re guessing that it motivated people to get out and ride. As a bit of post-tour incentive, we’re throwing a TDF hangover sale:

10% off any 2010 Road, CX, and Mountain bikes, and 25% off any 2009 (or older) Road, CX, and Mountain bikes.

This sale is good throughout August and into Labor day weekend. Stop by the shop and pick up a sweet new ride! And we promise we won’t judge you if you start riding around in a yellow jersey (just make sure you keep the rubber side down, unlike some people…)

SICX, In The Bag

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

We took in Staten Island Cyclocross this past weekend, and it was a blast. Not only was the weather perfect, there was a great turnout of ‘cross racers from all over the nation – and a little network called CNN even turned up to report on the festivities!

Our friend Kevin Dillard took some fantastic pics of the race. Check them out here. And there a few more sets here, and here.

And much to our enjoyment, promoter and ‘cross coureur extraordinaire CJ hit us with this fact : 250+ racers turned out, and that’s double 2008′s numbers! While we are not psychic, we remain confidently optimistic for the popularity of ‘cross in NYC – and we are predicting that 2010 will be off the charts.
