Bike Station Aptos Grand Opening

The bike business must be picking up in Santa Cruz County. This is the second grand opening notification I got recently.

Bike Station Aptos recently moved into the Aptos Rancho Del Mar Shopping Center. They will be having a party/celebration with events from July 9-11th


From Courtney:

I thought you might like to spread the word about a special amnesty program Endura will be running throughout our Grand Opening weekend here at Bike Station Aptos.  It's pretty cool, so here's the scoop - basically, people can bring us/Tim (from Endura) a pair of their old/worn out/crappy lycra cycling or mtb shorts, and they get 50% OFF Endura's most popular Hummvee short.  Its a sweet deal, and the supply is unlimited =).  The Grand Opening will be July 9th - 11

We're also putting an an "underground' race together called the Top of the Incline Challenge in Nisene Marks, July 10th at 6:30 am that's going to be a real hoot!  Endura is sponsoring the event, and going to give away some fun stuff at the top of the incline.

I really like that LBS's are putting on events and reaching out to the community. Help support the local bike shops and grow the scene!

Progress at the Epicenter Pump Track

The pump track at Epicenter Cycling in Aptos was approved a couple of weeks ago. A volunteer party was organized and we got to work.

This is the plan. There are two tracks. The beginner track is on the left and the big kids track is on the right.

The overcast morning provided cool temps for digging. Shovels and barrows were the tools of choice for this work.

Building a berm

There were probably about 30 workers over the course of the day. A Bobcat arrived at 3 pm and it made the work simpler. 

Bicycle Trip Grand Opening Celebration July 17th

The Bicycle Trip is having a grand opening party on July 17th. Last winter they moved down the street to nicer digs. 

Jeff Lenosky will be there and so will MBOSC. Come and check out the fun!!
