Sorry I didn't respond quicker, things have been busy, busy busy! To start off with we'll carry Louis Garneau womens apparel. We plan on having a good selection and of course have plans on expanding it as time goes on!

I'm so happy for you for following your dream! I hope you are overwhelmed by success and support in a good way!

One note about the site.... I do like it, but do think that when a person clicks on the Contact tab, that the mail should open in a new window, so they can still see your site! It should be an easy alteration to the page source.

Good luck and have loads of fun!

Hmmm...would you mind clarifying what happens when you click on the tab? Right now, on my computer it automatically opens an outlook email with the "To" field filled in. Do you not have outlook? I didn't even think about what would happen if someone was using a mac. Maybe we'll have to rethink this link. So what exactly happens when you click on the tab?

Thank you for the feedback!!!

Salsa - BEST OF LUCK!! I have deep respect for anyone who has the courage to pursue their dream And to think, work will be something you and your husband love. It doesn't get better than that.
I can't believe it but your dog MIGHT have more toys than my girls. haha. Of course, I have three dogs so I have an "excuse" for all the toys. Just kidding, of course. One cannot spoils one's best friend too much, in my opinion.
I like your site, too. It looks like you found a good space. What color are you painting it? What about the floors. When you start stocking some stuff w/your logo, let me know. I'll want to buy a water bottle from you to add to my collection.

So awesome, that is great that you are enjoying life to the full capacity of your lifetime dreams. Life is short, ride long! We plan to open a shop someday too, but it will probably happen in 10 years after he retires from Gov't. 10 years is not really all that long. Guess I could map out and change things along the way to get prepared for our big day as well. How long did it take you to plan things out. How you wanted to run things different to stand out above the crowd of other cycling shops in area, etc. ?

It took us about 2 years to work everything out. To get the business plan finalized etc. It was a lot of work, but hopefully be worth it. Our shop will hopefully stand out because of our focus on mountain bikes and families. We plan on having seminars in the community about cycling (safety, mainenance, types of bikes, etc) and hope in the spring/summer to try and have family rides. Our shop is really focused on educating our customer/community on everything about cycling.

Also, if you're from the area, check out our website again. We've updated it with our grand opening specials!
