Tony's New Ride

Tony is going to huck his meat on this mad mammajamma!

Holiday Hours

We're going to be closed for a few around the Christmas, as you might have guessed.
Basically, closing early Christmas eve, then closed Christmas through Monday. Open again Tuesday, Weds, Thurs as usual, and closed again on New Years day, as you might have guessed.

Thanks

New Troy Lee D3 Helmets are here!

We got the new D3 in. And boy does it go well with our jersey:





Any chance our design caught Troy Lee's eye last year when we had them make Jerseys for us?
Hard to say, but I'm going to go ahead and assume yes.

Anyway, the helmet sure does look good with our Jersey.

The new D3 is chock full of new features, worth checking out. We have every color in stock now (except the black carbon, which is proving hard to get).

Soft Goods Sale! Canari, Endura, Giro, Mavic, Vaude and more!

(Tony has skills none of knew about.)

We've got a bunch of clothes we're sick of looking at, so we're blowing it all out at 40% off.

Sizes and selection are random, but we have a rack full of clothes from Canari, Endura, Mavic and more. There are a couple Endura jackets, some Craft base layers, and all sorts of baggy and lycra shorts from Mavic and Canari.


We also have quite a few mid to large size packs from Vaude. Been finding that your hydration pack doesn't have room for all your clothes as the ride warms up and you shed layers? Booya! We got something for you at 40% off.

Also, a good size pile of Giro helmets, mostly '08 models with discontinued colors, at 40% off.

Last but not least, we have way more Giro Sunglasses than we need in the shop. So.. those are 40% off too. We've got a very nice selection of frame models and colors. Some of the best cycling sunglasses available, now for an awesome price.

Playing With GPS Maps

So, I've been thinking that a whole set of GPS maps of our favorite rides and routes would be a fun thing to have compiled and available for our customers.
It was brought to my attention that Bicycling Magazine has a pretty comprehensive website set up for GPS map hosting, and so I've been checking that out today.
I've set up a Bikeworks Albuquerque user group, under which we can post all our routes. The GPS maps can be uploaded onto your personal GPS unit, or you can print out maps of the ride and descriptions to accompany.
So far I've just put up one of our favorite Cedro-Otero loops. The map is rather un-detailed, but future versions will be more detailed. Check it out:

My goal is to have a place to point customers, out of towners, etc. when they come in asking for directions for rides. The books and maps covering our local mountain biking are pretty lacking, and I've felt for a long time that something like this could be really useful.

So, if this sort of thing interests you, let me know what you think. Does it work? Can you load it up on your GPS? I know there's a few different sites that have similar functionality, do you have a site that you like better and recommend?

Word to mama bird. Back to fixing bikes.
