Bike Shop Update

[7rider]

Yes, I'm in the process of ordering water bottles. Going with specialized, orange pearl bottles. Our logo, not sure what else is going to be on the bottle yet. Will also have stickers, drawstring backpack type bags, and of course jerseys at some point. I'm sure t shirts will come in there as well.

Right now I'm trying to come up with a MOTTO! I need a motto!
Can anyone out there help me with it??

Remember, we are in the sonoran desert, lots of road riding, mtn bike riding, triathletes, and recreational riders- esp. those in a retirement community called palm valley.
To get an idea of our area check out this website. This is my hood..

Don't forget phone # and/or website on the bottle. Possibly your logo, when you get one.

"Where the stars come out to play" (oh wait, isn't that one use somewhere?)

"Stellar Service at EMC"

"Follow your star to EMC"

We're your guiding star.

Now, if only you were closer to NZ, cause if you were, and if you chose a slogan with "EMC" in it, you would HAVE to stock EMC2 bicycles - made by tha ex champ NZer here in NZ. We have several in our stable and they are top of the line bikes...

YAY!! Opening day is coming SOON!! REAL SOON!
Just have to get the final city inspection, the credit card service set up, and a few last minute details and we will be GOOD TO GO!!
Still have about 20 Jamis bikes to come in, a couple more Quintana Roo tri bikes, and more clothes/accessories. All of that should be in this week.

Here are some pics.

The Bianchi's are NICE!!! And the Felt FW40 is a dream! In fact she's a "dreamsicle" as she is pearl orange.

Anyway, opening day is hopefully going to be on the 15th.
(fingers crossed)
Oh- and some of you have asked. I'm not going to have web orders (yet at least) on my website, but if there is something you need, can't find, your lbs doesn't carry, etc. send me a pm.
Some companies (esp. the bike companies) do not let me sell by mail or net, but some things I can get for you. So send me a pm and if I can, I'd be glad to help out.
And one last thing. THANK YOU ALL SOOOOO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT! - Yes I felt the need to YELL that!! As I really appreciate it!
It's been a rough go, but it's FINALLY coming together!
ciao for now!

Thanks Rave, and I know all of you will be there in spirit. I'm sure I'll feel it. Sure is nice to have such great friends with great energy sending me good vibes from across the globe!

RM - Congradulations on the almost-grand opening! May all the little things you need to get done, be done smoothly. Wish I was there to help unlock the door. Along with the rest of the TE gang!

[Bad JuJu]

Be sure to let us know when you actually do open, so we can have a virtual toast to your new adventure!

[Mr. Bloom]

Cool!

Maybe you can establish a web presence by contracting with team estrogen to do fulfillment for you???

[northstar]

Congratulations! Loved the pictures! And you're right...that Bianchi on the end is absolutely gorgeous!

How exciting!

[Tri Girl]

Wow- it looks so GREAT!!!!!!
I can't wait to see it in person when I'm out there in Nov. I'm sooooo excited for you! It looks like it'll be a great store with a great layout!

[crazycanuck]
