That’s right. This Wednesday we’ll be doing our final outdoor group ride before we retreat from the darkness and ride on trainers for the rest of the winter. So for the ride this Wednesday we’ll be riding downtown, eating at El Bait Shop, and riding home in the dark. It should be a good (if chilly) time. Weather is supposed to be in the mid-50s so it shouldn’t be too bad. Lights will be necessary for such a ride, but they needn’t be powerful as plenty of folks will have very bright lights and when riding with a group you can get by with a much smaller amount of light. If you’ve been riding with us, and may have missed a few, come back and join us for out last (and most fun) outdoor ride of the season. The following week bring those trainers and ride with us in our basement.

Beginning Sunday October 21st, Irwin’s will be closed on Sundays.

That’s right ladies. Six days until our first seminar just for you this fall. If you haven’t signed up yet, don’t worry still plenty of spaces available. Not sure if you’ll be able to make it? Just show up. Remember: 6pm, Wednesday October 10th, at Irwin’s. See you there.

Sign ups for our Ladies only event are going pretty well, but there’s always room for more, so even if you’re not sure you can make it, go ahead and sign up, or show up. No pressure, either way works for us but signing up helps us plan for space and materials.

Our hockey sale is going to be held over for at least a couple of weeks in October, if not the whole month. We’ve had such a good response, we can’t stop it now. So, come in, find some orange tagged merchandise, buy more items to get even larger percentages off the already low sale prices.

We’ve finally nailed down the dates for our Women Only Repair Seminars. So here they are:

October 10. We’ll do fixing flats and basic trail side repairs. And we’ll ask about what everyone wants to learn at future sessions.

November 14. Cleaning and lubing, plus whatever else people want to learn given feedback from the first session.

December 12. We’re thinking of doing a family class, bring kids who are old enough, husbands/boyfriends, everyone learning some basic maintenance in an informal, friendly setting.

All classes will start at 6pm and all these dates are Wednesdays. We’d like an idea of the number of people who are coming so we can plan for space and materials and such, but registration is not required. To let us know you’re coming or interested, call 270-8304 or email info@irwinsbikes.com
