The trails are just too wet for a Saturday ride with a big group. We need to be good stewards of the land and not riding this week mean good riding and open trails in the future.
No Saturday Ride.
Someone is getting a really fun surprise.
Someone is getting a surprise New Bike Day. Rover’s jealous.
A bike.
David stopped in last week looking at getting a new fun bike. A bit of research, a couple test rides and a phone call did the trick. But, it wasn’t us he called. He chatted with the good folks at Surly who answers the phone. Who does that? Who answers their phone? Apparently Surly does and confirmed his suspicions that the Surly Karate Monkey was the right bike. Excellent choice. Now, if we can figure out how our phone works………
Paper Rolls and pencil/pen/tool/paint brush stands. Guitar Repurposed Wood.
PAPER SCROLLS. Repurposed Wood. We have had a lot of requests for paper scrolls and TCO tables so we made a few for sale. Naturally, we repurposed guitar parts for esthetic purposes, recycling purposes and fun. Here is a sample of what is available at the Outpost now. We can also build to order if you have a reasonable sized paper scroll you want. (Or pencil/pen/tool/paintbrush stand).
Lou wins the bike game.
Lou nailed in the best way to end a year and start a year. He picked up his new Carbon Pivot Mach 6 on New Year’s Eve. We ride with a lot of people and are very excited when they get a new mountain bike. Lou deserves this steed. He has proven his ability to enjoy mountain biking on his previous bike, where others might have given up the sport. He really really deserves and should enjoy today. Congrats, and see Lou on the Saturday ride this week.
New Surly Day
Jeff is ready to ride his Surly LHT.
Jeff has a 1000 mile trip plan and his new Surly Long Haul Trucker is the right bike. We set him up with panniers, a rack and couldn’t be happier to see him on his new bike. He showed up at the gift exchange moment and joined right in.
