Happy summer to all,

The organizers of Dairyland Dare and Uphill Grind have a special promotion for you, “Early registration is over [for the Dairyland Dare] and the registration just went up to $95, but Uphill Grind clients and fans can still get in at the old price. Use code UPHILL_GRIND_15 to get $15 off sign up.  But hurry, because the code expires on 7/16/2010 and we are going to fill up.” Go to Dairylanddare.com and click on the “Z”Registar button to sign up.

Since there’s multiple people from our shop doing Insane Terrain this Sat., there will be no shop ride this weekend.  We will continue with more laid back group rides, but upping the mileage, on July 17th.  Thanks and we’ll see you on the road.
