June events

1st David fly's up to Wisconson for the Trek 100 ride and to see an early release of the new 2007 Trek, Fisher, and Lemond bikes. He will be able to ride the all new all carbon Lemond bikes and give you a full repoort next week.

7th Chad will be leading an urban ride downtown starting at 8pm in the parking lot on Bayshore where the pirate ship is docked. Be at the shop at 7:15pm if you want to follow him there. If you have not done an urban before then get ready for a good workout and lots of fun. They will be sprinting in and out of parking garages, jumping gaps and stairs, and finding all kinds of great places to ride your bikes where you would normally not go.

18th Mad Beach Triathlon start 7am. We have a relay team and several racers doing the race solo. Come to the beach and cheer us on, or better yet come out and race with us. If you join our Tri team you get discounts in the store and the ability to race with us, the ones having all the fun at the races.

22nd Free tech class on flat repair and general maintenance. Class starts at 7pm and lasts for 1-1.5 hours. Not necessary to bring your bike, please RSVP though, we have limited space.

WHAT TIME IS IT? It is tour Mania time. We will be having the scratch off's again this year and giving away all kinds of goodies during the Tour De France. Make sure you come in and see all the good things on sale and get all your bicycle needs from CBE. Who will win this year, one thing is for sure it won't be Lance. Basso? Hincapie? Ulrich? I can't wait to see.

Flatwoods, Spain, Urban

Just wanted to say thank you to all that attended our demo at flatwoods on Sunday and a special thank you to the park for letting us be there. We had over 40 people come out and try out the new bikes. Several more stoped by to say hello and get some cold water. We have a winner for the $100 dollar gift certificate. Scott Carter from Quickdrop had his name pulled out of the hat out of 32 entries. Thank you all for coming out and be sure to come by the shop to see the new 2007 bikes that are starting to roll in.

I have heard from Jodi, Katie, and Suzi. They made it to Spain and are pedaling their way up the mountains with many stops to be able to take in the scenery. They had a delay getting there by one day due to their original flight being canceled, but it allowed them to spend the day in New York City. Look for more updates on the Spain trip soon.

Tomorrow night May 24th we will be having our next Urban Assault ride. Meet at the shop at 7:15pm and Chad will take you for a ride you soon will not forget.

2ND Wednesday Urban Assault Rides Every Month

Chad will be leading an urban ride every 2nd Wednesday of the month. The rides will start at 8pm at downtown or USF campus. Call or email to find out the location or meet at the shop at 7:15pm to follow us to the ride.

The next ride is July 12th.

If you do not know what an urban assault is then even more reason for you to come out and try one.

We will ride around the campus or downtown area in search of parking garages to race up and down, gaps to jump and everything else we can ride over, under, in and out. We recommend mountain and hybrid bikes, but you can do it on a road bike. It is a great leg workout and feels like intervals when we sprint from street to street, or run from the security guards. Plan to wear a helmet and dark clothing, lights not required, but should be brought if you have them.
