WIN! - women, wine, wrenching and (w)riding!

Yesterday we had an awesome day at the shop! The Team Luna Chix sponsored bike ride was a blast. We headed out for a warmup around Harbor Island and then started the hill climbing up Cannon and out to the Cabrillo National Monument. We had ladies off the front working on intervals and other groups working on handling and riding in a group.


In the afternoon, Lynne and Rachel taught a bike maintenance clinic and gave some tips that really made the difference for the participants on most things maintenance (something has to be left for the real mechanics!).

Overall we had a very successful day and look forward to our summer ride with the Luna Chix.

MCS Race Team Wins!

MCS Racers were in continued action this weekend at the Barrio Logan Criterium in San Diego. It was a nice overcast day which led to cool temps and only a slight wind.

The MCS Ladies had a dominating race as Rachel, Lynne and Amanda were controling the field and working together as team. Rachel managed to out sprint the SDBC rider and take the win, as Lynne was blocked in on the final turn but still managed 4th. Amanda finished with the pack.

In the Men's 4 and 3/4 races Chris R. was a major player in the race, going on breaks up front. He helped the eventual race winner and he was caught by the pack in both races near the finish and ended up 12h and 14th with 2 solid performances, not to mention a 60 mile ride in between the two races. His ride time on the day? Just over 5 hours, and 90+ miles. Dean rode with the pack and finished, while Kyle crashed out.

Congrats to the MCS Racers: Rachel 1st, Lynne 4th

Up & Coming

We are getting prepped for a busy spring/summer here at Moment Cycle Sport. With our Grand Re-Opening coming up and all of our regular events, MCS is a busy place!

Make sure to bookmark our Events Page - we will continue to rotate new events into our schedule. Bike Maintenance Clinics will happen monthly over the summer to ensure continued success with your skills, and more advanced classes will also be added!

May is Bike to Work month. We are a Pit Stop for bike to work day on Friday, May 20th. Stop by on your way to work for bagles, coffee and fun! Prizes given away all morning long!

We are having a shop challenge to see who can commute the most! Since JT is here most often, he'll be the likely winner - if he can get motivated to ride! Make sure those lights have working batteries, those tires are in good condition (because we know the roads aren't!) and put those helmets on. It's Bike to Work month. Bring your commuter in for service and receive $10 off our regular tuneup with mention of this blog posting during the month of May!

We've been out in the community, showing off our Dynamic Fit Unit. We were recently seen at the Liberty Station Spring Fling and the Gran Fondo exposition. Congrats to the Dynamic Bike Fit winner, Jim Clark!

Our April bike maintenance clinic went very well. We are having another one in May - Saturday the 28th at 1:00pm! If you'd like to attend, please rsvp to info@momentcyclesport.com
