March 1st was the meteorological first day of spring!  This means more sunny days, warmer weather and all new products and events! 
Come in and check out the new products from Newton, The North Face and CW-X.  We still have a few winter items on our sales racks and we are getting new spring apparel in every day.  With the excitement of longer days and warmer weather, be careful of pot holes and
drivers who are not yet used to seeing us out there.  May every mile be your best!
