Life on the road.

Friday, May 21st, 2010

We got a quick trip report this morning from our road warriors Aaron and Kirk. They’re driving driving driving today, but spent yesterday in the fine burg of Little Rock Arkansas.

They (whoever they are) say Little Rock is a lot like Portland Oregon. Apparently the morning demo was washed out by rain, perhaps that’s what they mean by ‘being like Portland’.

The rainstorm didn’t prevent the Competitive crew from doing some product testing on the HD though:

Here’s a view of the interior downhill course:

And in the attention to detail department (something we like to pay attention to) here we have a picture of the Competitive Cyclist building, complete with what looks like laser cut logos in the steel support beams at the entrance of their building (click on the image for a purty picture). Very nice work!

Note from a Mojo owner

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Here at the Ibis worldwide HQ we get a lot of email, often about experiences people have when they get a bike from us. Some are really good. One caught our eye recently, from a Mojo owner in Colorado name Toni. Here’s what she had to say:

I look at myself as your outside sales rep. Convincing unsuspecting folks of buying an Ibis one by one. So my hardest customer has been my boyfriend. Finally after a few years of pressure (and saving money) he relented and bought an SL. I am not so sure it was a good thing. I have attached a picture that explains my point.

I think we may need to upgrade to a king size bed.

Lost Sierra Trail Daze

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

The Ibis crew loves riding in Downieville, CA. Another place that we love riding is just over the hill from Downieville, in a little town called Graeagle. If you don’t know where we’re talking about, both of these places are sorta kinda close to Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California.
The same crew that brings you the Downieville Classic and the Downieville Downhill works closely with the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship to keep all the trails maintained in that area. And there are some great trails.
On June 5th, a big Trail Daze event is happening. This is where you can give a little back to the trails that are so fun to ride.
You can read about it on the flyer below or you can visit the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship web page.
