Sorry- just saw this!
I'll put it on the calendar and try to come over to say hi. I'll still be in the thick of IM training, but would love to come out and say hi. Now running hubby and running son would prolly like to ride.
Cheers!

CWR and ZEN:

I'm always pushing people to be active! So, Yes, I would probaby knock on their doors and say hi and see if they want to ride!

Zen: I think you asked me once before to know on her door and get her out to ride to work! Give me another month (SNOWING AGAIN TODAY!) and sure I'll drag her out of her house and on the bike to work.

Running Mommy - I will keep you advised of times set for ride, etc. I would love to have your running boys come ride with us.

Too bad, we can't get all those roadies that are in southern arizona who always respond to these SW postings to buy mountain bikes from your shop and come out and ride too!

Yeah really huh?? ha ha ha

Hopefully that doesn't fall on the weekend that we are going to do out open house/demo day. We are trying to get the local tri shop (soft goods only) a coach, and some other vendors to do a demo day in our parking lot. But we need to figure out a day we can do it.

We had the Kona rep in yesterday. 24 hours in the old pueblo is this weekend. Running hubby has always wanted to do a 24 hr race, but his friends are all weenies- and he's not up for solo.

edit to add-
the long loop on the competitive track is good fun. And I'm a wimpy "mom" rider when it comes to mtbing!

I've done the 24 hours at hte Old Pueblo twice with a four person womens group - the Spokewenches! Hence my moniker here. It is a blast.

I would not do it in less than a four person team. The most fun would be a corporate team where you don't have to ride as much and can kick back and have fun instead of trying to get some rest between rides!

Your hubby just needs to get a BIG group together and go have fun!

I have a road bike. My mountain bike needs repair...it only has one gear. I wanted to fix it myself, as a learning experience, don't you know, but I've been struggling with where to get somebody to teach me how to do it. (My husband knows how, but he has little patience with people who aren't as mechanically gifted as he is! He can always see it immediately it - been a motor head for years. We both get frustrated with each other.) But I'll keep the weekend in mind! Sounds like a lot of fun.
