1. 3rd Anniversary Demo Days March 7 & 8

Whoop! Not only is daylight saving time right around the corner, and the grass is green with wonderful spring rains, but… cow bell please…

We did it! We survived our first three years in business and are still here despite all the dire news about the economy. Well, there might have been a tiny little nose wheelie back there in October, but we kept our eyes on where we want to go, and put the rubber side smack back DOWN. Nothing like a shot of adrenalin to make you a little sharper! Our spirit is strong, our customers inspiring, our future bright. Help us celebrate! Come join the party as we release the brakes to roll out for the start of year number four for Passion Trail bikes!

Expect a festive atmosphere with delicious refreshments, fresh new cycling fashions, a sale on select items, and nearly 100 new bikes available for FREE extended test rides!

We will have Specialized here with their Test Ride trailer and Designs for Women crew. We will have demo bikes from Giant, Maverick, Ibis and Santa Cruz.

Most amazing will be the huge selection of fabulous Specialized road bikes to test ride. Yes it’s true we started out focusing on mountain bikes, but we also ride pavement and are psyched to be able to offer awesome road bikes from that bastion of innovation in Morgan Hill. Here’s your chance to test ride a crazy fast 2009 Tarmac SL2, or a dynamite Roubaix or Ruby or Tri-Cross.

Test ride a SRAM equipped S-Works Ruby!

Patty has yet another trailwork day planned for Waterdog Park on Saturday. She’s a little tight-lipped about what the project will be, but she is hoping she can get at least 4 or 5 helpers, including one or two folks with good strong backs. She says its a short workday too, and you’ll have lots of time to ride afterwards. Hmmm. To volunteer, shoot her an email at patty@passiontrailbikes.com.She will get back to you with details on the meeting location and other fun info.

Our recent project in Soquel Forest worked on the lower portion of the Ridge Trail after Tractor, and Sawpit. With the help of a couple BOB trailers to tow tools into the work area and speed the process along, a number of volunteers showed up with bikes to ride in to work the Ridge Trail, and the rest walked up from the bottom of Sawpit.

We were stoked to have 25 people sign up, many of them MRBR NorCal Forum regulars. People have posted a bunch of photos and some videos up in a new NorCal thread that is a fun multi-media essay of the day.
