Team Town Cycle kits are here!!!!

At long last, the new Team Town Cycle kits are here! If you have pre-ordered (and only if you have pre-ordered!!), you may pick up your pre-ordered items ONLY at Town Cycle. If you missed the original pre-order, are looking for additional items or items for a friend, etc. - those items will not be available until some time next week. We'll send an email out with availability of additional items when they are ready.

In the meantime, stop by and see Mike - he's open Monday/Wednesday/Friday from 10 a.m.- 6 p.m., Tuesday/Thursday 10 a.m.- 8 p.m., and Saturday 9 a.m.- 6 p.m.

Additional weekend ride - for the knobby tire crowd!

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::UPDATE - Ride Canceled!!! :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Unfortunately, Mike has to cancel for Sunday - we'll let you know when we re-schedule! Our apologies for the inconvenience.

For those of you who prefer the woods to the road, we will be having a ride at Jungle Habitat on Sunday morning, August 8th at 7:30 a.m. We'll cover most of the trails at the Hab, but at a beginner pace. Meet our ride leader Mike M. at the gates, and he'll take you on a tour of the place, and you'll still be home in plenty of time to mow the lawn!

As always, any questions - info@teamtowncycle.com . Have a great weekend!!

Additional weekend ride - Saturday, August 7.

Thanks to Jason for stepping up with an additional ride for the weekend! He'll be leading an approximately 40 mile road ride on Saturday, August 7, at 8 a.m. Meet him at the corner of Holland Mountain Road and Route 23, at the old Wachovia Bank parking lot, for an intermediate paced ride. Weather should be perfect for a nice road ride - sunny, low humidity, reasonable temps - a real gift this summer! If you have any questions, you can ask us here, or check in with Jason directly at jason_grossi@yahoo.com .

Weekend rides - August 6-8

It's definitely high vacation season around here, but for those of you left in town, we have 2 rides set up for this weekend.

• Friday, August 6 - the classic weekend warm-up, our Friday night road ride on Clinton Road. Meet us at 6 p.m. (don't be late - the days are getting shorter!) at the old Village Square Inn parking lot on Rt. 23 in Newfoundland. We'll do the usual out and back on Clinton Road, and a loop around Upper Greenwood Lake for those who are interested. If you are looking for a shorter ride, email us - we'll give you some hints on how to join the group for part of the ride.
• Sunday, August 8 - the 4th stage of our King of the Mountain series! BJ Kisch has put together a great route for this ride - check it out here at Map My Ride. The weather is going to be perfect, so come out and join us for a few great climbs and some prems for each climb winner! You don't have to do the whole series to participate, nor do you have to be a club member. Meet us at Town Cycle in West Milford, and be ready to ride by 9 a.m. - we wait for no one!

If you are planning a ride this weekend, and want some company, drop us a line - we'll post it up for you! And always, let us know if you have any questions - info@teamtowncycle.com . Have a great weekend!

Tuesday and Wednesday reminders!

Just 2 quick reminders - Tuesday, August 3rd is another one of our I Dig Tuesday trail maintenance days at Jungle Habitat. We're gearing up for our race in September, and can use all the help we can get! Meet at 5:45 p.m. at the entrance gates, bring water, work gloves and bug repellent, and we'll put you to work. Great opportunity close to home for our Campmor H2H racers to get their PayDirt points!

Wednesday is our Ladies Road Ride on Clinton Road. Weather permitting, we'll meet at 6 p.m. at the old Village Square Inn parking lot on Rt. 23 in Newfoundland, and roll down Clinton Road from there. Bring a friend, a neighbor, a sister - anyone who is interested in getting more comfortable riding in a group!

We'll update you with the rest of the weeks' rides soon, so stay tuned! Questions? info@teamtowncycle.com

They're almost here!!

We know it's been a long wait, but the new and improved Team Town Cycle kits are almost here! They have officially shipped from the manufacturer, and should be here in the next few days. Check your email over the next few days for an announcement regarding pickup, etc.

Rumble in the Jungle News!

It's already August - which means September and our very own Campmor H2H series Rumble in the Jungle race is just around the corner! Even more exciting is the news that our Jungle Habitat race will be the New Jersey State Mountain Bike Championship race for 2010! Team Bulldog and Kittatinny Valley State Park has been the home of the Championship race for several years now, and as always, they have done a spectacular job. For the next two years, they have graciously allowed the Championship to go "on tour" - and this year it's our turn! We are super excited, and are already busy preparing for the big day.

For those of you who need more details - mark your calendars for September 19, 2010, and check out the flyer here! There is also a link on the left sidebar of the blog, and on Team Town Cycle's "Races" page. Don't forget - using BikeReg.com to register before the event will save you $10 over registering on the day of the race, so hustle over there, sign up, and start riding - it'll be here before you know it!
