Teresa and Joel will probably tell you it’s too muddy to ride offroad at Shawnee Mission Park tonight. You’re encouraged to join up for the hill fest that leaves the Trek Store at 6:30 as an alternative. Fast road.
This weekend you can bounce around on those freshly updated trails at Shawnee Mission Park on the new line of Trek mountain bikes during the "Ride The Best" Demo event. Want to find out if dual suspension is better than a ’29er? Here’s a chance to compare on some very cool trails. Or you can play on the newest and fastest road bikes at the Friday pavement demo or spin ’em around the Park on Saturday. Models available to get dirty or get fast on: Gary Fisher Fat Possums, Rigs, Geds, King Fishers, Super Calibers and X-Calibers plus Trek EX9’s and EX9 WSD’s, Madone’s, Pilots, Remedys, Sessions and Sohos.
Sunday features the Jesse Blancate Time Trial, a great final tuneup before the Kansas Time Trail Championship. The flyers for the upcoming Missouri Road Race and Time Trial Championships are available. At the Missouri Time Trial Masters Categories will be held for all riders 30+ in 5 year increments/both genders. Criterium info should be available soon.
And don’t forget you can join the localcycling news team for a ride and a cup of joe on Saturday from Scooters Coffee of Shawnee.
