Upcoming Analog Cycles Rides and Bike Swap Meet

[James / Analog Cycles]

Hi all,

We have 3 events coming up that might be of interest to those within driving distance (or riding!) of south west Vermont.

The first one is just two weeks away: the 4x4 ride.  40 miles, dirt roads and (4) Class Four roads, plus a bit of mellow singletrack.  Ultra casual pace, fireside hangouts afterward, camping if that's your jam.   That's on the June 11th.  On June 12th, we're doing our grand opening at our new location in downtown Poultney, so there will be day of sales at the shop, food, adult beverages, a turntable spinning weird records, that sort of thing.  The ride usually draws riders from about a 10 hour radius, so it's a cool way to meet and network with like minded riders in the general area.  

The event probably most pertinent is the Swip Swap and Retro Ride in August.  Day starts with a bike swap (+ music, food, demos)  which runs  into the mid afternoon.  Then riders pick either a ATB route to go ride / optionally race on their vintage (25+ year old) bike, or a vintage road bike route, which has paved and dirt roads on it.  Nothing that a 28mm can't handle.  

Analog will have a swap booth, as will Portland Gear Hub, who has a ton of NOS 90's parts, cool old frames and forks, wheels, and more.  We're signing other shops up as well, and of course anyone who wants to have a table to sell stuff can do so.  The cost is low, the event will be fun, and there's optional camping afterwards if that's your thing. Aug. 27th. 

Lastly in October, peak leaf peeper season, we host the annual Gorey Hollows ride / scramble and race.  The ride is 30 miles, mellow, lots of breaks.  The Scramble is 40 miles with 8k of climbing, so it's hard.  An all day ride.  The Race is nuts, you don't even wanna hear about it.   Oct 8th.

Hope you can make it one or all 3!
