Thanks so much for showing up, everyone! We love seeing everyone out enjoying a bike ride. We can't wait to see everyone back again next month. 

Remember, the other Thursday nights of each month, BikeTown has a group road ride that leaves from our parking lot (1789 Industrial Blvd.) at 6:00 pm. It is a no-drop ride and lasts about an hour and a half. If another night suits you better, we also lead a group road ride on Monday evenings. Once again, it leaves from our parking lot at 6:00. Want to try out the off-road trails? We lead a group ride there as well. Meet at the parking area of Buck Creek Trails and be ready to roll at 6:30. This is a great one to bring the kids along with you.


Have a terrific weekend!

ABC Road Time Trial Tonight

Tonight is the next edition of the 2011 ABC Road Time Trial series. There was a great turnout last month. Let's see how this month goes! Come on out and join us at Muellers on FM 18. As usual, sign-up will begin at 6:00 and the first rider will take off at 6:30 on the 10 mile loop. Please remember your non-perishable food item for your entry fee. These will be donated to the Food Bank. Everyone is welcome - male, female, young, old, all ability levels. This is a laid-back, fun way to test yourself against the clock. See how you improve your own time over the course of the summer. 

It's going to be hot out there tonight, so please remember to bring plenty of water and some sunscreen. Hope to see loads of riders out there!

Make plans now to join us for next month's time trial. The first Thursday will be on June 2. Same time, same place.

Remember - if you like time trials, come on out to Buck Creek Trails this coming Tuesday, and give the off-road version a go. If you want to try out the trail time trial, but don't have an off-road bike, let us know. We have a couple that can be borrowed for that event on a first-come, first-served basis.

This Thursday is the first Thursday of the month, so that means it's time trial time! Meet us out at Mueller's at 6:00 for sign-up. Like always, the first rider will take off at 6:30. This is an event for everyone - fast, slow, and everywhere in-between. Test yourself and race against the clock. Remember to bring your non-perishable food item for your entry fee. All the food items will be donated to the Food Bank.

For those who are new to this event, FM 18 is off of Hwy 36 right before the airport. Turn left (east) onto FM 18 and drive for a mile or so. Mueller's will be on your right. Just park in their parking lot and get ready to ride. This is a great way to see how well you are riding and to see how you improve over the season. Come on out and give it a try! We'd love to see you there! And, of course, check back here on Thursday night for the results.

If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call.
