The raffle was a huge success and we have a winner

6pm on October 1st we pulled the name Mitch Phillips out of the hat of 100 tickets and made him a happy man. Actually he was already happy, he was out on the golf course when we called his home to let him know he won. His wife was not sure if we were telling the truth, but after a call to him she found out we were for real. At 10 minutes to 7 Mitch arrived and picked up his new bike.

He said he will be hanging the bike on the wall in the house and decided he had better buy a road bike that he could ride. We found a nice Trek 2100 that was perfect for his needs and he will be out on the trail soon. Mitch has bought five bikes from us in the past 5 years and while in the shop getting a bike for one of his kids he decided to buy a ticket, we were down to 15 tickets left when he got his. The first thing he said when he came in the door was that he wanted to be at the shop for the raffle rather than on the golf course, he had a feeling he should be here, he was right.

I want to say thank you to everyone that bought a ticket, and even though everyone could not win the bike we will all be winners because of the money going to the Suncoast Trail.

The Limited edition Lance Helmet was won by Robbie Westfall and the $100 gift certificate was won by Karen Lambert.
