Why my LBS ROCKS!!

[Running Mommy]

Yeah EVERYBODY likes brownies.... Well except for those few who hate chocolate!!(insert picture of Denise feigning SHOCK that such a person could exist)
****HATE CHOCOLATE??? Why that's just un american!!! ***
BTW- there is a local company here in Phoenix that makes FAB brownies you can order online! Go to wwwbrownies.com and check out fairy tale brownies... YUMMERS!!! I think it was started by a lady in the area.

Anyhoo.. Yeah, The more I ride the more I support my LBS. Ray is always there for me, and I know how hard it is for the little guy to stay in business with all the big local chains we have around here. His service is quick- and thorough! When I took the bike in for a last minute tune up right before IMAZ he noticed that there was a defect in my front DR bracket. He could have just told me to call Quintana Roo(or trisports) since it was a definte defect, but he knew I needed it for the race so he did some major surgery to make it work. And he only charged me for a tune up!! Now THATS service!!

Tho I must admit I do also shop at trisports.com occaisonally. Seton and the crew are just great people! Kinda in line with Susan. I guess you could say I spread the wealth!

Thanks RM! I'll have to check out brownies.com for a future occasion, but I'll be baking some tonight for Ronnie and his crew.

Sounds like Ray is fantastic! And a good DR surgeon Ronnie only charged me $15 yesterday!!

When the time comes to upgrade my drivetrain, I'll consult with my frame builder about what I should get and order all the parts through Ronnie at my LBS and have him do all the work. It is so hard for the little guys to stay in business and I want to give him all the business I can, unless there is something I can't get through him.
