Weather guessing

Based on forecasts that include Weather Warnings about dangerous travel, I am forced to be the responsible party and cancel the group ride at Brandywine today. Even if only small amounts of snow fall early on, travel on the way back home could be "dangerous" (according to the forecasters). Thanks for understanding. I really want to go but feel like I need to make the decision for safety. See you all soon!

In the name of safety...

The Saturday morning ride has been canceled. The temps were very low overnight and the real feel is still below 25 degrees. Anything that had a chance to melt yesterday is likely now ice on the road. Sorry for disappointing those who wanted to head out today but we need to make the call based on the safety of our riders.

Tuesday Nite MTN ride canceled

The Tues Mtn ride at Camden County for 12/14 is canceled.

Seeya next week.

Thanksgiving ride

Based on forecasts, radar maps and dark skies, I am canceling the holiday ride. The temps are too cold to risk getting everyone out there and having the forecasted rain start to fall. I want to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and I will see you Saturday morning at 9am.
Although closed today, the shop is open Friday from 10-7p for all of your shopping needs. Don't forget to stop by on Small Business Saturday. Register with American Express and they will credit you $25 for shopping at a small business and using your AmEx card.

Saturday D ride starts again in the spring

Thanks go out to all the D riders who came out on Saturdays for our group rides! The C and B groups will continue through the winter and the D group will start up again in the spring. Please join us in the woods on Saturday afternoons at 2p, starting November 6th, for a Beginner Mountain bike ride. Stop in or call the shop for more information.

The Saturday C and B rides move to 9a starting November 6th.

Extending the season

We had a change of heart, the Monday and Thursday road rides will go off this week at 5p!! And now, this will be the last week for our evening rides. Thanks for a wonderful season of riding!

Forecasted heavy winds

With safety in mind, I feel it necessary to cancel the Saturday ride. The prediction is for 20-30mph winds with heavier gusting over the next bunch of hours. Sorry for any inconvenience...

Tuesday Night Lights

Grab your bike and your lights and join Adam at Gloucester Twp Park (Next to Camden County College on Peter Cheeseman Rd) for a 7pm mountain bike ride. Follow the park road back and it's the first lot on your left. Call the shop for details. 856.468.5115

Mountain ride moved

The Sunday mtn ride is moving to Camden County College for tomorrow. I'm concerned that the Brandywine will be too muddy. The Monday/Thursday night road rides will roll at 530p this week! See you on the trail/road.

Park Tool School dates...

New Park Tool School dates have been announced. Check out the schedule and sign up now, class sizes are limited to 4!

Tuesday Night D Ride Cancelled

Monday's road ride

The Monday night ride has been canceled based on unfavorable weather predictions and 'green' all over the radar. It's already getting dark early, to have gray skies and potentially foul weather added to that is dangerous. Thanks for understanding. We will roll Thursday night at 6p if the weather allows.

New Rules!

It's that time of year again where daylight is fleeting. We institute new policies at this point to help maintain the highest possible level of safety. To that end, all riders must have a functioning, rear blinking light on their bike to participate in our evening road rides. If you don't have one, please plan ahead or pick one up at the shop before the ride. In addition, our normal "everyone stops for a flat" policy does not apply this late in the season. We need every minute of daylight to get our riders home on time so please be prepared to fix your own flat and get yourself back. Thank you for understanding and being prepared!

The Sunday ride

Rob's Sunday road ride has been canceled for rain. Join us Monday night at 6p. Don't forget your rear blinkie light. They will be required on all evening rides from here on out. Thanks!

Ride canceled, pizza is still on

The radar is showing a big storm heading our way so we are going to cancel the ride and focus on eating pizza. We have moved the party start time to 6p. Come play!

Follow us on Facebook!

You may have noticed fewer blog posts lately - that's due to most of our daily updates being done on our facebook page-  (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Deptford-NJ/Action-Wheels-Bicycle-Shop/47486207634) so check it out!

You will still find ride cancellations and updates on our blog, but most other news, pics and events will be found on 'the Facebook.'

Rain, rain, go away...

Looks like some heavy rain possible this evening, so we've decided to call the Monday night ride...seeya Thurs!

Weather guessing

Looking at the radar, we have decided that it wouldn't be prudent to head out on the road this morning. Looks like some nasty weather headed our way. It would be so much easier if it was just raining on us right now. But someone has to make a decision, and so we have decided to cancel. Enjoy your day and best of luck to everyone doing the ACS ride or the GCC mountain bike race tomorrow!!

See you soon,
Patty

Zipp 101's!

The weather guessers were off again (at least they're consistent) and it looks like the weather will be fine for our Saturday morning ride. See you at 9a!!

Patty

Rain out

The Brandywine ride has been canceled for rain. We will try again next week.

It will be a rude wake up call after such nice weather, but we are going to give it a go this morning. Please check the forecast and dress appropriately. It's going to be a cold one but we will have the sun working in our favor. See you at 9am!

Next Saturday, we go back to starting at 8am...

Thanks.

Tues. Night Mtn Ride Cancelled

Due to the rain yesterday and the continuing rain today, the Tuesday Night Mtn Ride at CCC is cancelled. Boo.

Monday Night Ride for 3/22

Tonight's Monday Night Ride (3/22) is cancelled due to the rain :(

Seeya Thursday night!

It's official

I am officially sick of having to cancel our group rides. That said...it is with sadness in my heart that I cancel the first Monday night ride of the season. Looks like good weather the rest of the week. Thursday night will likely be our 2010 inaugural weeknight ride. Join us at 6p in the AW parking lot for an abbreviated version of the regular loops.

Yay!!

Not ready yet

It's still a bit too wet for us to head for the woods. So the Sunday Brandywine ride will not go off today. If we have dry weather for a bunch of days, we might find that it is ready by next weekend. Stay tuned. Thanks!

Sunny and dry!

Looks like we will be taking it to the streets tomorrow, as the weather looks to be sunny and dry. There will still be a chill in the air, so check the forecast and dress appropriately. Can't wait to get back out there and ride. See you at 9am for both B and C groups.

North American Handmade Bicycle Show 2010

Spent the weekend in Richmond looking at some of the most beautiful pieces of functional art I've ever seen...thought I'd share a few of my faves:

Old news

It's snowing this morning, so our attempt to get out today has once again been thwarted. We will try again next weekend...

New ride plans

The 9am Saturday road ride is canceled. We will roll just a B+ group tomorrow (as I have no C group leader) at 11 am. This will give the roads a chance to be more clear. If we find that the roads are slick and dangerous, we will turn back. Keep this in mind if you are coming in from a distance. It is most definitely ride at your own risk. The roads were fine last week but we aren't sure what to expect tomorrow.

Just to be safe

The 9am Saturday morning ride has been canceled. We want to make sure the roads are safe enough for our large group of multi-level abilities before we hit the road. Fingers crossed for next week!

Thanks!

Sorry for any inconvenience, but due to the weather AW will be closed Thursday February 11th.
We will be all dug out and open 10 AM Friday morning.

Another one bites the dust

The 4" of snow in Wilmington, combined with the unknown condition of the roads and a 2 degree real feel temperature, have me throwing in the towel on yet another Sunday mountain bike ride. I don't want to put anyone in harms way and I know that if I say Let's Ride, some of you will join me. So, until next weekend...

Sunday Beginner Ride

Due to rain, snow, cold, extreme winds- it's something every week- we are discontinuing the Sunday beginner mountain bike ride. It will hopefully start up again closer to spring when our order of non-stop sunshine and warmth arrives. Thanks for your understanding.

Rain out

Although it's not raining here, yet, the forecast shows rain at ride time so we are canceling both the beginner mountain bike ride and the Brandywine ride. Sorry kids. I don't want to drag you all to the parking lot only to have the rain start. Maybe if it were warmer...

Join us Monday morning at 9a for a 40 mile road ride. If you have off for MLK Day off, you can spend it with us!

One more time

The beginner mountain ride has been canceled again for extreme cold. Next weekend looks like a heatwave- in the 40s! So look for us then.

The Sunday Brandywine ride will go off at 9am. Meet us in the parking lot behind the Courtyard Marriott for a 2 hour ride. I received an email saying that the trails are in perfect condition so it should be a cold but very fun ride. See you there.

Patty

Pulling the trigger

I'm not going to wait until tomorrow morning to tell you that the Saturday morning road ride is once again canceled. The light coating of snow has led to icy patches and the wind chill is going to be painfully low. Maybe I should start posting when we ARE going to go instead of when we aren't. It would be easier...

Winter Hours...

...are in effect:

Mon-Fri:  10-7
Sat:         10-5
Sunday:   12-4

Yes for one, no for the other

The Brandywine ride is on as scheduled for Sunday morning at 9a. Meet in the parking lot of the Courtyard Marriot on Rt 202, around back. About a 2 hour ride. Lots of climbing.

The CCC beginner ride has been canceled due to very cold temps and wind speeds. We don't expect our beginners will enjoy that stuff.

Don't forget to grab your light set and join us in the woods at Camden County College on Tuesday night at 7p.

Call the shop for more info or to borrow lights. 856.468.5115

thanks,
Patty

It's a no go

With a "feels like" temp of 15 degrees and winds gusting up to 28 mph, I once again feel compelled to cancel the Saturday morning road ride. Stay tuned for info on tomorrow's mountain rides. We will see what the weather brings tomorrow.
