got Bra?

Posted by PeterD Tue, 24 Apr 2007 15:31:00 GMT

The Mere Mortals Mountain Biking is holding a fund raiser on June 2nd called the Bra Ride. Here is the description:

The bra ride is an annual event in the Northern California and Arizona for all those gals that are brave enough to sport only a bra on top and for men that are secure enough in their masculinity to join the festivities and, yes, bras on the men is a requirement…

March Build of the Month - Versus Trigger

Posted by PeterD Sun, 08 Apr 2007 03:09:00 GMT

This month’s bike is one meant more for DMC than for Waterdog (though I have ridden one at WaterDog) – a Versus Trigger.

Here is what our customer said:
“The Versus Trigger doesn’t disappoint. It has an ultra burly frame designed for Downhill/Freeride and is stiff in the rear. The bump absorption is great and the linkage is excellent for hitting berms at warp speed. It pedals decently without much pedal feedback. “

Its Time to Eat. Now What?

Posted by Charles Sat, 07 Apr 2007 03:03:00 GMT

I frequently work here as long as I can, then realize too late I need to eat if I am going to remain standing/sociable/conscious. Here it is now, Friday night, about 8:00, and I need to get dinner somewhere close to the shop. I already know about Hola up in Lunardi’s Plaza. Great food, good prices, and pretty good service. And the margaritas there are pretty awesome. Sushi Monster on Ralston near El Camino is also a good choice. Great prices, good food, lots of variety with specialty rolls, and they also seem to be open almost all the time. I have been in there more than once after 10:00.

I’ve been to Marvin Gardens, and Auciello’s. I’ll go back to both of those. Haven’t yet been to Caprino’s though.

What else is there? Throw out some comments regarding your favorite local restaurant, what makes it so.

Coaching/Training for Sea Otter

Posted by PeterD Tue, 03 Apr 2007 18:23:00 GMT

Passion Trail Bikes is helping out Endurance Performance Training Centers this weekend on a clinic aimed specifically at helping racers do better at the Sea Otter. We received word that there still are an opening or two, and thought we’d get word out to see if any of our customers were interested.

Full details can be found here. It involves some time at our shop in Belmont, and some time on the course at Laguna Seca.

I can say from experience that a bit of strategizing for the Sea Otter can pay off handsomely.

February Build of the Month - S-Works Stumpjumper FSR Carbon

Posted by PeterD Sun, 01 Apr 2007 19:22:00 GMT

This month we are featuring a Specialized S-Works Stumpjumper FSR. 5 inches of travel on alight bike makes this an excellent choice for most any trail around.

Here is what the customer had to say:
After taking a 1-1/2 year break from ridding, and not buying a new bike for 13 years, I was blown away by how the technology had improved.
