Beers and Frites

Springtime means a few important things...the weather is changing for the better and more importantly, it's time for some of the best professional bike racing around - The Spring Classics!

This Sunday is The Ronde van Vlaanderen (aka: The Tour of Flanders), so run out and pick up a few bottles of your favorite Belgian beer and an order of Frites, sit back and thank God that you aren't chasing these guys up the Murr or the Koppenberg.

The long wait is over...

We pulled a late night at the shop on Tuesday...wrenching together a bunch of team bikes. Well, let me start that over... The Get a Grip crew and our Cannondale Representative, Josh, pulled a late night wrenching on our bikes, while we sat around eating pizza, anxiously awaiting our 1st rides...we did throw some tires on a few sets of new wheels and swept up the shop. Many thanks to Kevin, Matt, Jason and Josh for the long hours and hard work they've put in not only on Tuesday night, but also just getting this team put together.

Steve's bike was the first one out of the gate, he was all grins and literally couldn't wait. We all gathered outside of the shop to watch Steve bomb up and down the street around 11pm.

And now, the finished product! (please note that I'm swapping out my old, blue tires on these training wheels for a new set of black ones. The blue clashes.)
