Steam-N-Wheels 2010 Packet Pick-up
Due to the furlough today of some city employees, packet pick-up for Steam-N-Wheels is happening at BikeTown. You can also register for the ride at the store today. It is looking like the weather for the ride will be less than ideal. Plan on dressing quite warmly. It's going to be cold. The race director said that unless it snows, the ride is on. But it never snows in Abilene, right? So come on by and get ready for the ride tomorrow! And if you need some last-minute cold weather gear, come see what we have in stock. All warmers, headgear, tights, long-sleeve jerseys, and jackets are 25% off, so it is definitely worth a trip. A new piece of gear might be just what you need to get through the ride tomorrow!

Tour de Gap 2010
Mark your calendars now! The Tour de Gap 2010 will take place on Saturday, July 24 at the Old Settlers' Reunion Grounds in Buffalo Gap. Make plans to be there! Get your friends to join you! It will be a great ride benefiting a great cause. Once again, all proceeds will benefit the Food Bank of West Central Texas. The routes will be the same as last year, starting and ending at the pavilion area of the reunion grounds. We're looking forward to seeing everyone out there!
Here are the links to the routes:
The 77 mile route is split into two parts or laps. Please make sure you look at both!

Steam-N-Wheels 2010
Steam-N-Wheels is this Saturday, March 20. Make sure and show up at Nelson Park by the zoo entrance and be ready to ride in one of the first rides of the 2010 season. It looks like it will be a cool morning (weather is forecasting a high of 50 for the day), so wear those layers! If you haven't registered yet, no worries. They'll have on-site registration from 8 to 9:45 that morning. The ride will start at 10:00 am. As usual, BikeTown will have a spot set up to provide wrenching for those who need it. Look for Jim if you need any last-minute bike adjustments.
If you need more info about the ride, go to www.abilenetx.com/Recreation/documents/2010BikeRaceEntryForm.pdf
Hope to see you there!
Blog Break Over
There has been a bit of a blog break around these parts, in case you haven't noticed. Of course, there might be all of 5 readers of this thing in which case, the anticipation of a new blog post probably isn't all that high. Even so, we just want to let you know that the break is over. There will be some new, hopefully regular, posts coming soon. This week, even! So - stay tuned, read the posts, and feel free to leave comments so we know someone is out there. :)
Comment moderation is turned off, but there is comment verification (that fun little part where you get to type in the letters and numbers). Hopefully, this is all we'll need to keep all the spam comments out.

New Year
Welcome to 2010! It seems hard to believe that a new year is already here. It's been a little colder than normal around here the last month or so. It makes it hard to get out on the bike. If you are not riding as much right now, it is the perfect time to bring your bike in for a tune-up. That way, as soon as the weather warms a bit, you'll be ready to go. It sure beats taking your bike in for that tune-up at the the same time as everyone else and getting to wait for your turn! So bring it on in now while the wait is short. Let one of our experienced technicians look your bike over, fix it up, and have you ready to roll out the door as soon as the arctic winds pass us by.
