When the road is wet we don’t ride for safety reasons so we’ll see you next week.

Imagine riding down your street on one these…..
Come see us today and we’ll hook you up with a nice ride.
We had some folks visit the tent who had planned to test ride bikes and some who hadn’t planned at all. The turnout was beyond what we expected with even a few young ones trying out the x-small bikes riding along with their parents. Joe rode the Defy Advanced and its competition equivalent the TCR Advanced and loved them both. The white Team bike in the photo way below is the same as the one that just won the Giro D’italia under Rabobank rider Denis Menchov.
We gotta thank Mother Nature for the great weather and Luke and Guy from Giant for their work in setting up the Demo and doing a great job in fitting up and answering all of the questions. Many thanks to Helen Bridgeo at Rockwood Park for reserving the space for us.

Visit the Giant Demo from 6:00pm to 8:00pm at the big Fisher Lakes Parking lot on Wednesday June 3. You can test ride the bikes within the Park roadways and parking lots but be aware there is road construction and one way traffic on the Lily Lake side so we advise you not to go way at all. As with all of our events, if you have any questions call the shop at 652-2453.

Again we’ll roll exploring the streets and roads of Saint John, this time it’s a “trip back East”. A loop around the South End peninsula, crossing the Causeway then a false flat climb to Champlain Heights / Grandview then it’s a gradual step down back to sea level with only the Refinery hill in the way.
Here is the route map for your viewing pleasure – Map

Be assured Bike Works staff and roadies will be on site to put these bikes into the big ring. Oh yeah…. Well do a final confirmation in the next week or so.

Lots of gloves and bike packs to choose from, they’ll go fast so come in and get first pick.
We’ve also received a large order of parts, accessories and gear that hasn’t been priced and put out yet so if you don’t see something you need just ask us.

This Tuesday looks as if it’s going to be dry as bone and maybe sunny. Let’s get out and head North to the loop we’re calling “Heck of the North” which features the charming old North End, the SJ River, a jaunt through the wealthy burbs of Millidgeville and a mad dash through the Rifle Range before going back to the starting point on Long Wharf. The fitness portion of this ride is probably the Km’s 8-11 on Kennebecasis Drive before turning on to Sandy Point Rd. The route map is here – we depart at 6:15pm sharp from Long Wharf :
*** Update – This ride saw great weather and the traffic wasn’t heavy to break up our group of seven. We ran into a bottleneck on University avenue due to construction one westbound lane only + a wrong way driver but that was the only bad encounter. The last part of the route around km 19 has to be re-routed because Clarendon is one way. We’ll probably do Main St and turn right onto Douglas next time.******

Rory has re-joined us for the summer after completing his UNB Mechanical Engineering degree with a minor in Dirt (Geology actually..) so along with that good news is more good news – our tune-up and minor repair turnaround time stands at 72 hours. So what’cha waiting for? Bring in your bike and get back into the woods or on the road as quickly as possible.
