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.

I drove the course yesterday(5/7) and it appears as though most of the route has had it's share of gravel applied for this year. One road (23rd st./just west of Rochester) was closed as they were applying gravel as I attempted to pass. While I could not get through on that stretch I was able to get around since they were only working on a 1.5 mile stretch. The not-so-kind gentleman with the county assured me that the road would be open in two days which I assume will leave plenty of time to be compacted by regular automobile traffic. All in all the route looks pretty good.

I am printing cue sheets this week. The size will be 5 and 1/2 inches by 5 and 1/2 inches, that's right, 5 and 1/2 inches square. There will be a map printed on the reverse side of one sheet per 50 miles. The map will most likely not provide you with enough information to effectively bypass the charted course with the hopes of arriving ahead of your competitors, but it will offer enough information for you to gather your senses and establish your location should something terrible happen.

I am going to drive the route again next Friday(5/18) to make sure that all of the roads being used are open and unobstructed. Also, the finish line is located next to a Green Mill Bar & Restaurant. I spoke briefly with the management there yesterday about pizza and beer and while nothing has been confirmed, it did sound hopeful. I suppose that is all for now. Cheers.
