Trailhead Bike Shop

Trailhead Bike Shop is kicking off their new season of repair clinics with the most important one.

This clinic will cover removing and reinstalling your bike wheel AND repairing a flat. The time and date are Tuesday, April 30 at 7pm.
We will provide all necessary equipment and tools.
Everybody welcome.

Why yes we did travel south a couple of Fridays ago to sign up for the Iceman at Bell’s…

In fact, none other the Jeff Betz, aka “the big guy” was the FIRST one in line to register. I (Andy) was second. After years it was nice to actually meet Steve Brown, aka “Iceman” and chat with him during what must have been a fine hour. When it was all over, 29 minutes in, I congratulated him and he said, “it’s been a long six years.”

For the uninitiated, you used to be able to decide the morning of the Iceman whether you wanted to ride or not. Then it got really popular and Steve decided to try online registration and collectively, as crazed Iceman fans, we crashed every server we came across. Until last Friday.

The party was cool, we had some really good beer, great food (pulled pork) and talked about mountain bike racing. A good time was had by all.

Trailhead Bike Shop has a full line-up of Salsa Fat Tire Bikes including the Mukluk 2 and 3 and the Beargrease. Come ride one. The bikes easily ride over sand, hard-packed show and just about anything else you can throw in front of them and having one greatly extends the northern Michigan riding season and expands your riding territory.

Pull the trigger, or at least come ride one.
