Getting the "Stoke" back....

I often find that once in a while in my action packed life taking some much needed down time is good. I recently have come off of a week rest/break and feel like a million bucks. Not for nothing but it just gave me that much needed recharge to remember exactly what's importan. LOL...spending quality time with the family no doubt is KEY!!! The other main thing is to reconnect with your sport..."ok,so why do I love doing this so much again?"Bottom...line each of us can benefit from a break now &t hen. I'm very much looking forward to doing some more cycling...especially come cx season.Fall here in upstate hands down is my favorite time of the year to be out there pedaling. So with that being said I hope everyone is having an excellent season...let's a promise to help each other keep the "stoke" and never forget how fun riding is!!!

Winter time blues??? Make a list!!!

While your frantically scrambling to finish up all of the summer wish lists items..Please don’t forget about winter. Yes I did say winter. Problem is with most folks they’re not even considering purchasing new equipment this time of the year.. So now what?
 Trying making a list of the equipment you currently own. Then make another list of equipment you may be looking to purchase. This helps you get a better scope of the holes on your “quiver” .  Based on your lists’ ask a few of your “guru” friends on their suggestions / recommendations of where you should be spending your hard earned cash.
Now once you have a fairly good idea of your equipment needs start looking now for those deals / close out etc. This time of the year your local ski / snowboard shop will gladly welcome your business!! Not only that... you'll be able to get the one on one customers service that your deserve. Not crowds, no lines…etc!! Sounds good to me!! Well good luck and happy shopping!!
