Two days late to posting, but...
ππ΄ββοΈ Happy Birthday, Kevin! π΄ββοΈπ
Wishing a huge happy 39th birthday to Kevin Thonney β one of the awesome faces behind Bicycle Barn!
Even with a broken collarbone slowing him down (just a little), Kevin is still smiling strong and showing the same grit and passion that makes him stand out on and off the bike. Crashes may happen, but if anyone knows how to keep a positive attitude throughout, it's Kevin.
Hereβs to a year full of smooth rides, fast recoveries, and plenty of reasons to celebrate (hopefully fewer unplanned dismounts π).
Cheers to 39, Kevin!

Happy Monday! We might be a bit banged up right now, but we have a lot to be happy about! We have a great team here at the Bicycle Barn keeping the bikes going, countless amazing customers stopping in to remind us how awesome our little community is, and a great story/memory behind each broken bone!

We had just three brave souls for Tuesday's Gravel Ride, but it was a good one. Let's see what we can cook up for the Thursday Night Road Ride, shall we? We're watching the weather that's rolling in, but let's aim for a Powerline to Five Mile loop, with an optional Scenic Loop climb if the weather is behaving. 25mi (ish). Should be a good time! Bring lights for safety please. See you at the Service Entrance at 6pm.
