Ride canceled

Sorry kids- the extra wet holiday week has led us to pull the plug on the Tuesday night mountain bike ride. We will hopefully see less precipitation in the coming days and New Year. Stay tuned to our shop email and Blog for current ride info.

More rain

With an 80% chance of rain in the forecast, I really have no choice but to cancel the Sunday morning mountain bike rides. If it was warmer out, I might take a chance on it not being accurate and trying to get the rides in. But with the cold temps, no one will be happy if we are mid-ride and it starts to come down. Thanks for understanding.

Wind chill and woods rides

The "Feels Like" temperature is going to be about 20 degrees at 9am this morning, so we are canceling the Saturday morning road ride. Looks like it will be a bit warmer this afternoon, so get your to-do list done this morning and fit a ride in later today.

Join me in the woods at Brandywine tomorrow morning, on the dirt at 9am, for a 2 hour intermediate mountain ride. It's a little rocky and there is a lot of climbing. Find us by taking the Commodore Barry Bridge to 95S, to 495S, to the exit for Naaman's Rd. Rt 92W (right turn off the exit). Follow about 15 lights to Route 202 and turn left. Less than a mile down the road on the right is the Courtyard Marriott. We park all the way around back. It's about 30 minutes from Action Wheels.

Our beginner mountain bike ride is in the woods at Camden County College at 10am tomorrow morning. You can get a nice taste of mountain biking without the rocks and climbing. This group meets in the park right next to the Blackwood campus of the college. Rob is your group leader. For directions go to: http://www.camdencc.edu/campusdirections.htm

Too much rain

The extra nasty weather has left me with no option but to cancel our Sunday morning beginner ride. Sorry kids, but we don't want to damage the trail system. The next ride is our Tuesday night mtn ride at CCC. Grab your lights and join Adam at 7p for a fun night ride!

Crying foul

Due to the wet ground and the prediction of foul weather all morning, the Saturday 9am road ride has been canceled. Looks like some sun in the forecast for tomorrow, so get your indoor errands done today and get out and play in the alleged sunshine on SUNday!

Remember that at the shop today, we are giving away a Specialized EMT Multi Tool (value $20) with any purchase over $30. Get there early as it is while supplies last. This was an email special so you have to mention the offer to get the deal. One per customer, blah, blah, blah.

If the skies are clear in the morning, the Sunday 10am beginner mountain ride will go off as scheduled at Camden County College. Call or stop by the shop today for details- ask for Rob. 856.468.5115
