Happy Thanksgiving

All of us at BikeTown wish all of you a happy Thanksgiving. Spend some time counting blessings, eating some turkey, and then go for a ride on your bike!

For all you off-road riders who want a little more adventure, come on out to Buck Creek Trails on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 pm and be part of the weekly night ride. It's fun, it's exciting, and did we mention, it's in the dark? Of course, we don't want anyone getting hurt, so make sure you bring a light with you. If you don't have one, come on in to BikeTown and check out our selection of Nite Riders and TurboCats. They are light, bright, and easy to use.

Check out some pictures of the last night ride. These guys had a great time!

Buck Creek Trails Time Trial #2

We had so much fun at the Buck Creek Trails Time Trial we want to do it again! Plan on joining us out at the trails on December 9 at 2:00. Everyone will get another chance to see how they do against other riders out on the trail. We'll post more information about it as the time gets closer so make sure and check back here regularly.

Is It Really Turning Colder?

Brrr! The wind was nippy this morning when I went out to get a little exercise. Abilene is not exactly the Arctic Circle, but about 15 minutes after I left the house I was wishing I had worn my warmer gloves and taller socks. (My socks didn't quite stay in contact with my tights this morning so I had a very pink, cold band of skin just above my ankles by the time I got back home.) I enjoyed my time out this morning, but was a little chilled from the wind within just a few minutes. There's nothing quite like a little wind and cold to make you uncomfortable on your morning ride, run, walk, whatever it is you are doing. I think I'll check the wind-chill a little better tomorrow and choose my gear accordingly!

Despite this morning's chill, we have had amazing weather so far this fall. There have been plenty of chances to get in some good rides. However, it looks like the colder weather is finally heading our way. Don't let that stop you from going out for a spin! Come on in to BikeTown and see what we have in cold weather gear. Leg warmers, arm warmers, long-sleeve jerseys, tights, socks, gloves, balaclavas, you name it...we have it. Let us help you continue to enjoy riding your bike - even in the cold. Happy cycling!

Good Job!

Congratulations to all those who rode in the Habitat for Humanity ride up Steamboat last weekend. You supported a good cause and, hopefully, had a great ride in the beautiful weather. Some favorite cyclists of ours sent us some pictures of their experience so we thought we'd share.

Joni, Carey, and Patrice decided they would try to tame the beast at the ride up Steamboat Mountain. Great job, girls!

Along the way they got a little encouragement from Carey's husband. He had written their names on the pavement to help them get through those last few miles. What a great guy!

If there is anyone else out there that has some pictures of a great ride or event, send it our way and we'll see what we can do about getting it published. Make sure you tell us all about the picture: who, what, when, where, why, etc. Here's our email: biketownabilene@yahoo.com (There is also a link at the bottom of the blog.)

Enjoy the gorgeous weather while it lasts and happy cycling!
