News:
The shop is now closed for winter until March 1st.  Please call and leave a message or send an e-mail if you need assistance.  I will get back to you as soon as possible.  Have a great winter.  I hope you ski and ride as much as I will!   Thanks for a great season in 2009--I'm looking forward to the 2010 season,   Pete 

I'm working on revamping the website as you read this, so please be patient.  I'm trying to learn this new software, and it's not flowing quite how I'd like it to yet.

Ask about prices on 2009 leftovers--I have some Fisher 29er demos available at nice prices as well              

Winter riding gear is in stock--toe warmers, gloves, long sleeve jerseys, big Camelbaks like the HAWG to carry extra gear to survive the cold.    

     Just Riding Along rider Lisa Moeke of Bradford is riding across the state of PA on bike route Y starting October 11th.  She'll be starting at the Ohio border and riding 409 miles to the NJ border mainly on US route 6.  A moderate pace of 65-70 miles a day should get her done in six days.  The weather's calling for snow that Monday, but she's not wimping out--wish her luck

     Just Riding Along rider Gregg Reynolds of Bradford finished his first Ironman in Lousville, Kentucky this summer.  Congrats Gregg!

      JRA rider Pete "Crazylegs" Dzirkalis raced the Roots Rocks and Ridges Race on October 4th in Ellicottville...What a course!  This is what mountain biking is all about.  28 miles of all the stuff in the race's namesake.  You owe it to yourself to check out this race next year if you are into technical races with lots of rough trails.    check out the results.  The weather was cool and the trails a little soft, but not bad considering all the rain.  Dennis put on a nice event with some great food and beer afterwards.  Congrats to Pat Wallace on the win.

         Are you looking forward to doing some more endurance races next year?   There's nothing like spending a whole day on your mountain bike--testing your limits on some super-challenging and scenic trails.  This year Just Riding Along riders rode the Stoopid 50 in State College, PA,  and the Shenandoah 100 in Harrisonburg, VA.  These are both off-road events put on by Shenandoah Mountain Touring, in Harrisonburg.  The events feature camping, food, support by means of checkpoints along the route, and great food and beer after the events.    These races are definitely worth the journey south--let us know if you want to train with us next year and head down with our crew.
