We are thrilled that two Bend juniors we’ve had the pleasure of working with, Cameron Beard and Lance Haidet, have been chosen to represent the US at the 2015 UCI World Cyclocross Championships. Lance and Cameron will travel to the Czech Republic to compete January 31-February 1. Read more here.

We are the proud new owners of the state-of-the-art GURU Dynamic Bike Fit Unit–one of only 120 in the world, and one of two in the entire state of Oregon–and we can’t wait for you to try it out. When you purchase your bike fit from us before December 31, 2014, we will honor the old price of $250. You may schedule the bike fit whenever you like; there is no obligation to use your fit prior to the end of the year.

Bart recently returned from the GURU Academy where he obtained training and certification on the system, and he can not wait to show you why this is truly like no other bike fit available. This dynamic, on-the-fly system allows him to make micro adjustments without you ever getting off the fit bike. Read more about our professional bike fits here.

We are thrilled to announce that because of the generosity of our community in supporting both our CXmas Party on December 4 and the Ride Hard Finish Thirsty races in September, we are able to award $4,000 to more than 15 Oregon juniors who are competing at the U.S. Cyclocross National Championships in Austin, Texas, this January. Read the full story on KTVZ.com.

We are so grateful to the people and their businesses who support our annual CXmas Party with generous donations of products and services for our silent auction and raffle. We are truly humbled, and could not support so many Oregon Junior Cyclists without their help.

“We started out by helping three or four juniors in our first year,” explains Bart. “And we’ve grown exponentially each year–to the point where we’re helping more than 10 kids annually–and that’s due to the overwhelming support of the community.”

All proceeds from the CXmas Party benefit the non-profit CXmas Junior Fund which helps defray the costs of Oregon juniors attending the U.S. Cyclocross National Championships. This year’s championships are in Austin, Texas, in early January.

The CXmas Party would not be successful without the enthusiastic support from:
