A little love

Looks like the "Cannibal" of 'cross is none too popular with his veteran teammate, Richard Groenendahl. Not surprising, given the fact that Groenendahl absolutely pinned it at World's after Nijs went down.

The weather forecast for this week is pretty grim. Day after day of cold, cold weather. Now is definitely the time to get some bike work done! Jeff and I have been trying to pass this email around to our local customers and since we don't have everybody's email address, I figured this would be as good a place as any to spread the word! So, brief email:

Hello,
Wanted to drop a note to all the people we had e-mail addresses for and give
you a heads-up of some things going on at Luna Cycles. We have only a very
limited amount of e-mails so we ask that you forward this update to
others in our area that you know are cyclist. This is our idea of grass roots
marketing!
On to the news...As it looks like we are in for the worst temps. and
general bad weather for at least the next week now would be a great time to
bring in your bikes for the Spring Overhaul, Winter tune-up or component
up-grades. The reason now is the best time for this is several fold. First
off, our business is really slow and we could use the business, this also
allows us to have a quicker turn around on the work we are doing for you.
Next and most importantly is that everyone is not in a rush to get out on
their bike in this kind of weather so getting the work done does not have
you off the bike during a time that the weather is nice!! Also our
distributors have most of the new components in stock right now so there is
limited waiting for the latest parts to arrive.
Our pricing structure has changed a little bit for 2007; Tune-ups are
$35.00 (up from $30.00), we have added a Performance tune-up for $55.00 -
$60.00 which adds new cables to the original tune-up, Overhauls will remain
at $90.00 plus parts and of course we still offer a drive train clean for
$20.00. For a limited time we will offer 10% off parts being purchased with
an above mentioned service!
So now is the time to act and please remember to forward this to the other
cyclist in our area (mostly you guys in the medical field)
Thanks for being our customers and we will see you soon!!

*Just in: We have received a double shipment of Blackburn Ultra Trakstand trainers! We have been trying for 2 months to get 2 of these that had been pre-sold and now, we have received not 2, but 4! We want to offer these to our customers first, before we contact Blackburn about this mistake, since these trainers are so difficult to obtain. They are $299.99 each. You can learn more about them at Blackburn to learn more about these trainers. If you are interested in one, please let us know in the next couple of days either by calling the shop or emailing Jeff.

I want to stress for the sake of all of our dealership commitments that this is strictly for in store business only!

Owen has started standing up when you support him. He used to get a bad case of the jelly legs, but no more. Eating food is still a train wreck, but we've decided to just let him progress at his own rate. At least now he holds his spoon and gets the food in his mouth MOST of the time...
