Lost in the Woods at Alum Creek

This was a fun one!

Sander, a pilot from Netherlands asked if we could get him a Crux 5 S-Level in Deep Marine Metallic.

A few weeks later, Sander flew in, picked up his new bike, and took it out that same night for a ride with The Cycling Club — even hanging in there with their fast group!

He’s now back in the Netherlands and loving every adventure on his Crux. The first photo was taken out in the dunes.

This is what Sander had to say about his bike:
“This bike with these new 2.2 tires is the best, fastest, and most comfortable bike I’ve ever ridden off-road. Super happy with it.”

We love the stories behind the bikes. And love knowing Sander is out there GETTING LOST in the Netherlands.🌲

Last night was incredibly special! 💚 When a community comes together to support something meaningful, it’s truly magical.

A BIG thank you to everyone who showed up, helped out, and donated to the cause. It was one heck of a party!

Together, we raised over $2,500 for cancer research — just WOW!

If you missed the event and still want to donate, we’ll be accepting donations through 10/3. All donations will be split between COMBO, Gators MTB, People Who Like Wendel, and LITW.

The Specialized Epic 9 is built to race — and built to win.

Fresh off a huge win at the Leadville 100, the Epic continues to prove why it’s one of the fastest and most capable XC race bikes out there.

And it’s not just the pros. Local racer and LITW MTB team coach James Knott picked up his Epic 9 and just two days later finished 2nd in the NOMBS championship race, calling it “easily the fastest and most comfortable XC race bike I’ve ever ridden.”

Want to see what the hype is about?

We have a Specialized Epic 9 Pro in a size Large available at LITW and ready to race.

And coming soon… a custom S-Works Epic 9 frameset is about to hit the build stand with one goal: a sub-20-pound XC race weapon.

Come check out the Epic 9 and see why this bike is getting so much attention.

Yesterday’s Pivot Demo Day was awesome!🌲

The Shuttle series was definitely a crowd favorite. Fast, capable, and ridiculously fun to ride—these e-bikes had everyone coming back from the trail with a smile. 🔥

Big thanks to Pivot Cycles for bringing out a killer lineup, talking bikes with everyone, and spending the day with us at LITW. 🤘
