Le Tour Celebration at Bicycle John's

Here's an invite to all my readers for a cool cycling event in Agoura Hills, CA at the new Bicycle John's location. Join us, it'll be fun!

Hi Everyone – Two months have sprinted by since my last note inviting you to join the soft opening of our Bicycle John’s in Agoura Hills. That event was a lot of fun and we had about 50 people come out. Thank you for supporting us!



Two hundred bike repairs, three dozen beach cruisers, and cases, and cases of inner tubes later we are ready to celebrate the grand opening of our bike shop as well as what is shaping up to be an epic Tour de France.



Many of you know that my long term goal is to grow the sport of cycling and in doing so share with others the beauty, challenge and elegance it offers all of us. In that spirit we have developed an event designed to get you and all your friends out to ride with us! This event is intended to draw a crowd – let’s get 200 people out on their bikes - and in doing so introduce new people to our sport, make new friends and encourage those close to cycle to ride more.



Here’s the idea.

We are going to do a (short) group ride in the late afternoon on the penultimate day of the Tour de France. While we won’t be climbing Mont Ventoux, there will be primes (awards) on the road during the ride, jersey’s awarded and the team (club) that shows up with the most people in their team kits (matching riding outfits) will be awarded a major prize! There will be a big party with a BBQ, stuff to do for the kids and raffles at the shop.



The ride is not limited to just roadies. If you’re in a mountain bike club, bring your mountain bikes; if you’re in a tri-club, bring your tri-bikes; if you’re not in a club, well, I would enjoy introducing you to one!
