Another successful weekend!
Good thing we have the cyclocross season to help us clear our heads a bit. And judging by our results this weekend, we are doing a bang-up job. For the 6th week in a row, we have crossed the finish line first in the Cat. 4B race. John scored his second consecutive victory, showing some great late season form. But don't take my word for it, check out the hi-jinx for yourself!
Chicago Cross Cup - Lansing 2008
We are professional bike shop employees, please do not try this home!
Remember, if you need any bike related items, we are a full service bike shop, I don't do this for my own personal amusement (OK, maybe a little). Please come by and visit us, buy something if you need something, or just bring us some nice pastries or coffee. We are easily amused and fun to talk to, so come on by and try us on.
We're a bike shop, in case you haven't noticed.
OK, so the boss is up may ass again about the website. Apparently he believes that the good folks that take the time to come to our site, cannot figure out that we are a truly kick-ass bike shop. Well, just in case you can't figure out that we are a "bike shop" with all sorts of cool knick-knacks and stuff, Adrian and I have put together a video tour of our "brick and mortar" establishment. Feel free to stop by and feel us for yourself.
Racing is fun, but we still need you to buy stuff!
Hola everyone! It's with great honor that we announce that our very own John, won his first bike race ever! He took the Category 4B race at the Northbrook stop of the Chicago Cross Cup. John was part a 4 man break that went from the start and by the second lap it was just him and another rider battling for the lead. John held off his challenger and took a brilliant victory, marking the 5th week in a row that a Cycle Smithy rider wins the 4B division of the Chicago Cross Cup!
Here's Grant, winner of the last four races!
Grant tackles the course. Did I mention that he's been winning on a SINGLE SPEED?
It was a gnarly course.

It's been an awesome season, so far. Smithy Racing has racked-up 5 victories and we're gunning for more. Congratulations go out to John and the guys for another successful weekend of racing!
