Turkey day ride
The Thanksgiving day ride is an unofficial event but an annual ride that we have been doing for over 15 years.It is open to all people and all shops. We just want to ride and build a big appetite for Turkey....
We try to get everyone to meet at four corners (top of Maple Springs and Harding Truck Trail) at 9am. For timing people going up Harding plan on 2 hours and people going up Maple Springs plan on 1.5 hours. We will have some unofficial refreshments at the top for the first 75 people or so.
Happy Turkey Day!

The Langster Frame
Designed for everyone from competitive track racers to hard core urban commuters, the singlespeed Langster™ is an icon for pure and ruthless efficiency and unforgiving speed. If one of our A1 Premium Aluminum models isn't enough to satisfy those in search of their perfect track missile, maybe our new steel Langster with classic track geometry will do the trick.
- Timeless Reynolds 520 steel frame with classic track geometry makes friends wherever it goes
- Sleek steel fork provides solid and reassuring steering response

Manuel Prado's Newsletter November 8th
La Ruta Pre-Race Report Day 2La Ruta’s day 2 was about as welcoming as a punch in the face: 3 minute warm up to a 30 percent grade that lasted an hour and averaged about 20 percent to the top. Oh, and did I mention unfriendly pace that was being set at the front by Manny and two previous La Ruta winners? This hill was no joke! If you stop giving 100 percent, you fall over and roll down the hill. Manny and I have a sprocket combination of 27 front-36 rear, and that is just enough to keep you on the bike. As we crested the top, legs burning and back aching from our “sit down-lean over the bars” technique, I was hoping to reap the benefit of a nice down hill. If rutted slippery clay is your bag, right on. Throw in the fact that the clay build up is locking the front tire and you have a party.

Laguna Flat Fix Clinic
Our flat fix clinic was well received at Laguna Niguel last Wednesday. There were 3 'fix coaches', Nicky, Diane and Victor who kindly stayed behind to help out, and 14 ladies who then split into 3 small groups. The ladies were shown how to remove the wheels on the front and rear of the bike and then to replace a punctured tube. They all then got their hands dirty and took turns changing tubes and replacing the wheels. By the end of the night all the ladies were a lot more confident about riding with their friends and being able to get themselves going again if they find they've got a flat tire!
Wish you could have been there? email nicky@rocknroadcyclery.net and demand another one =0)
