Irwin’s is giving away tickets to ever remaining Buccaneer’s home game. That’s right, that’s 20 games. Before every game Irwin’s will draw one lucky name out of our special hockey fish bowl, and that person wins two tickets to the next game. Make sure you stop in and sign up before every game. While you’re here, get your skates sharpened, pick up a new stick, or just grab some great gifts. See you at the games!

We here at Irwin’s hope everyone’s Thanksgiving was an enjoyable time with friends, family, and food. Lots of food. Fighting the holiday bulge is a noble and challenging pursuit. Come ride with us on Wednesdays. We ride inside, on trainers, and have a bunch of fun. Bring your bike and trainer(or rollers) around 5:45 or so, and we’ll go through a great workout, that really is a lot of fun.

Reminder to the ladies: our next clinic is December 12th and we need suggestions for things to cover. Give us a call (270-8304) or an email (info@irwinsbikes.com) and tell us what we should do.

Hockey news: Adult hockey league game is happening right now at Wells Fargo Arena. Photos and full report from Bill to come.

Bike news: Women’s Clinic went very well, and due to overwhelming feedback, the clinic on December 12th will be ladies only. We had previously mentioned that it might be a more inclusive, family oriented event, but that was soundly vetoed by virtually everyone there. This means that we’ll be doing a family event after the holidays.

Other news: Have a great Thanksgiving and be sure to see us for all your cycling and hockey gift needs.

Help! We’ve got a bunch of used bikes we’d just love to move this fall. We’ve got everything from light and fast road bikes, to old school rigid mountain bikes, to tons of kids bikes, recumbents, and everything in between. The “Used Bikes” page in our product catalog has been updated with some of the highlights. But come check everything out, or give us a call and ask if we have something you’re looking for.

Next Saturday (November 17th)Irwin’s is sponsoring/hosting an adult league game at the Wells Fargo Arena, with an Iowa Stars game to follow. Tickets are just $10 and include a ton of great stuff. Admission to both games, 1:30 Adult game, 7:05 Stars game, great lower level seats for the Stars game(sit where you want for the adult league game), and a hot dog, chips, and soda during the Stars game. This is a great way to kick off Thanksgiving week. The adult league game will be played mostly by B league players, but our very own Bill Goodman will be on the ice as well. The gap in between games will let people go get some food and/or some drinks in the downtown area before the Stars game. There are plenty of tickets available, please purchase them right here at Irwin’s.
