Trailhead Bike Shop

Trailhead Bike Shop will be holding a Salsa bike demo on Tuesday January 17 from 4 to 7 pm. The Salsa demo crew will be here with 12 bikes to demo. We will have a tent set up in front of Trailhead Bike Shop with the bikes. We will also have some brats and refreshments for you to enjoy. The shop will be open so you can warm up after your test ride. And who knows, maybe even some swag and give always.
Stop by and take a few bike for a ride, there will be some Mukluks to to ride in the snow or on the beach plus some other Salsa models.
More update to follow as information comes in.

Here’s some video from a ride at Yankee Springs on 1/9/12

My family will tell you that I am either the easiest guy to buy gifts for or the hardest. The easiest because a gift card at Trailhead Bike Shop is what I really want. The hardest because if you want to actually get me a THING it’s like, very specific. This year it’s a pair of the 2012 Schwalbe Racing Ralphs, 29 inch wheels and the ones that are 495 grams, and, oh yea, they were sold out last time I looked. If you’ve got a guy or gal like that on your list and you have some family members in which to pool your resources, one of the items is not cheap. So here are the two things: A fat tire mountain bike, or a GoPro video camera. I took both out on the beach last night and after a season of getting ready for the Iceman, the fat tire Surly Pugsley was a lot of fun on the Lake Michigan beach.

Trailhead sells a similar line of Salsa Mukluk bikes. I was able to ride right off the pavement at a local road end and right down on to the beach, the trail going in was quite soft but still the four inch tires floated right over the soft sand. Once I hit the firm wet sand it was like riding on asphalt, only better. The GoPro has proven to be waterproof, durable and FUN.

We have just finished another loop in the School Forest Trail system. It is the first of two loops on the south side of Bryant. The blue Loop on the attached map. I think is it going to be really nice once it gets broken in. Lots of twists and turns. It need to be ridden and some rain to get everything smoothed out.

Thank you to everyone who helped on this loop. Especially Joe Sanders. He has put in a lot of hours working on this section of trail. It would not be finished yet without his hard work.

Someone has cleared the trail north of Bryant this week. So it is in great shape. Thank you to whoever did this.

Please ride this trail. It needs it.
