Raleigh Bicycles

Posted by Chris Skogen On February - 29 - 2012

Here at Almanzo we're big fans of the motto, 'run what ya brung' and in no way would we ever encourage anything else. That said though, if you're in the market for a new rig (especially one that crushes the rock) be sure and check these guys out. We've been riding the RXC since late last Fall and absolutely love it. Quick, stiff and responsive, this thing handles like a dream. Whether it's steel, aluminum or carbon that gets you out of bed, Raleigh has something that will to fit your needs. Maybe it's the RXC or the Roper? Maybe your a high style kind of person and it's the International or the Militis? Don't believe us? Go and test ride one today and see for yourself.

A second sample post to see how everything will look and to see how far the body of text will move over toward the photo. I think it's working rather well, I'm just not certain as to the final layout.

Looking ahead to 2012, we figured we'd put together a list of the events we have on our calendar. Keeping in mind the fact that the year is long, we may or may not stay committed to all of these events, but either way they've warranted our approval. Here goes nothing...

That pretty much sums it up. Throw in there some prep and planning for the May events and we've got a full schedule. Actually, the prep and planning for May start in June, ramp up in October and run in full swing through May. We're busy folks here and we like it that way.

If you have other events that you think we should know about, let us know! We're always excited to try new things and see what others are up to. Also, if you're planning on attending any of these events, stop by and say hello! We'd love to see you again...or meet you for the first time.

  2. Chris Skogen Said,

    If by training you mean riding back and forth to work, yes. Hell, we may even run a few sets of stairs as well...

     

  3. Anonymous Said,

    No running stairs for me.

    I try to pick events this year that will build toward the next. That and do whatever riding sounds like fun during the week plus commuting.
