July Newsletter

July is one of my favorite months. The Tour de France runs for about three weeks every July and I look forward to seeing these amazing athletes give everything they have for a win. I'm inspired to watch them climb mountains for days at a time. They have unbelievable speed as they sprint for the finishes...something I can only dream of. I love the team work that it takes to finish this fantastically long race. Watching them day after day on the bike only makes me want to ride my bike more. Not that I will ever be able to come close to their speed and agility, but that riding can take me to such great heights physically and mentally. It is the challenge that thrills me.

The Trek Summer Sale is here and we always have great prices to offer on accessories and bikes. This year we have also added some events to celebrate cycling, the sale and the Tour. We hope to see you.

Out riding with you all,

Anne
