New blog, new look, new content.

With the weather getting a little cooler we decided what better way to spend our time waiting for the sun to warm the roads than with a new blog and new content.  Forgive the mess as we are learning how all this works (we tune up bikes not websites!).  Expect a cleaner look once our blog/webmaster gets a hold of the page.  With the kick off our new blog we will have weekly product reviews, new product highlights, weekly deals, and mindless caffeine-induced ramblings.  I know the latter is what you guys are here for.

First and foremost on our list of announcements is that we are adding two new group rides for your enjoyment.  Keep posted for ride details, however we will be doing a Tuesday night ride leaving from the shop at 8:15pm.  Tail light will be required.  Expect a 20ish mile route that will hit up some of the best places to view in the city at night.  Our second ride will be a Saturday morning 8am ride.  We will put together a 2 hour ride route that will cover some great training roads starting and ending from the shop.  Folks can meet early and grab a cup of coffee at Natasha's across the parking lot.

Last thing of note:  Cyclocross season is upon us (hey, I didn't say our posts were going to be groundbreaking!) and Elite is your source for all things cyclocross.  We are carry a full line of cyclocross essentials such as tubular tires from the likes of Dugast, Challenge, and Tufo and clinchers from Michelin, Clement, and Kenda among others.  Elite Cycling is now a Stevens dealer and will be carrying a variety of their aluminum and carbon models (you do know Neils Albert and Katie Compton ride their rigs...if you want to be as fast as them you NEED a bike like theirs) as well a selection of the popular Jamis Nova models.  We have all your geared and SS needs from parts and accessories to your favorite apparel from Pearl Izumi, Craft, Castelli, Assos, and Sugoi.  When you aren't practicing dismounts, doing intervals on the median of Ward Parkway, and ogling all the newest gadgets on the web, stop by and take a look around the shop.  We promise to keep Cross playing on the tube (well it's actually a flat screen LCD...aren't we fancy) and may even let you huff some tubie glue with us .
