Howdy Trailheads,
Another Sea Otter is behind us and that means Spring is here! We are settled
into our new shop and the concensous is overwhelmingly a resounding AWESOME.
The airy feel of the shop and crazy selection of bikes and gear have everybody
smiling while our improved service department is more efficient than ever,
turning repairs around in record times!
Gone are the days of waiting forever to get into our service que. Industry
veteran Blair O'Malley has the support of six experienced mechanics keeping
our tools warm seven days a week. With un-rivaled small part inventory
and endless orders by shop veteran Rudy Quan, we can keep your trusty
steed on the trails and running smoother than the groomed berms on DeFibre
hill.
Now I know a lot of you have been anticipating our next DIRT DEMO,
and the wait is over! Come out to Santa Teresa County Park on May 9th
and 10th to get your groove on. We'll have our huge fleet of demo bikes
as well as FACTORY support from YETI, SPECIALIZED,
IBIS and INTENSE. This event is FREE,
plus we'll have my beautiful wife Karen at the BBQ grilling
the fine treats from BASSIAN MEATS. Also on the roster
will be Skippy Jackson showing off TWENTY6 and GIRO
products, FOX RACING SHOX technicians
to answer all those squishy questions, Rober Mann from FOX RIDERS
with some sweet armor, plus there will be enticing incentives to pull
the trigger on a new ride for this summer!
Huge thanks for all your support! I hope to see you at the Dirt Demo!!
-Lars & the Crew

DIRT DEMO DETAILS
WHEN: May 9th and 10th, 9am until 3pm
WHERE: Santa Teresa County Park directions
here
WHAT: Sweet bikes to ride on awesome trails or roads.
(yes, we'll have road bikes too!)
COST: FREE
BRING: Credit Cards and Drivers Licenses are required
to demo a bike. Pack your normal ride gear, Rock Ridge is well, rocky.
Many tubes have died there. And if you can, bring your pedals. That way,
there is no way any of us can tell you we don't have pedals for your bike.
Sure, we'll have some pedals, but we usually run out.
Directions to Santa Teresa County Park
Santa Teresa County Park is located at the southern end of the Santa Teresa
Hills. The park may be accessed from either Almaden Valley or Santa Clara
Valley. From Santa Clara Valley, take US 101 or Highway 85 to the Bernal
Road exit. Proceed west 1.3 miles on Bernal Road and cross Santa Teresa
Boulevard toward the Santa Teresa Hills. Bernal Road continues past the
park's Santa Teresa Golf Club, winding up into the hills. The Pueblo Day
Use Area is located off Bernal Road in a small open valley in the hills.
(This is where we will have the Demo set up) Limited parking and trailhead
access are available from Almaden Valley. From San Jose, follow Almaden
Expressway until it ends. Turn right onto Harry Road, then turn left onto
McKean Road. Travel approximately 1.3 miles to Fortini Road. Turn left
onto Fortini Road toward the Santa Teresa Hills. At the end of Fortini
Road, turn left onto San Vicente Avenue. A ten car parking area is located
on the right about 500 feet from Fortini Road. Public transit is available
to Santa Teresa County Park.
FARMER'S MARKETS
They're back! Starting on May 6th, every Wednesday from 4 until 8pm the
Cambrian Park Farmer's Market brings us fresh produce, poultry, fish,
flowers and music. Best of all, it's right outside the shop! So hop on
your townie and cruise on down. We will be providing free & safe parking
for your bike so you can walk and shop with both hands!-more
