You guys rock! LCFTF would like to give a big THANKS to the following for their monetary contributions:
These contributions really mean a lot to the work already in progress since it helps establish the newer sections quicker before Spring creeps in and attempts to reclaim them. If I missed mentioning anyone, please email Joel on the Yahoo Groups mail loop… Cheers! Thanks to Marshall Walls of Easy Rider Bikes for some excellent service repairing and truing my wheel for me. Sometimes, letting a professional have a look at a recurring problem can shed new light on what was wrong. In this case, he opened my eyes to some spoke issues I kept repeatedly having. Regardless, he changed the faulty issues, trued and double checked my wheel for a great price! By the looks of his busy shop, I guess I am not the only one trusting my bike to a capable mechanic. Hey, if you are lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of a celebrity sneak in to check on some bike repairs. I am not gonna say who, but I know I “ain’t fraid of no ghost”… Thanks Marshall! Ok freaks…if you are reading this, you are a Fat Tire Freak at heart…either you ride hard with us, or you live vicariously through our ride reports and musings…regardless, you must have a bike somewhere….. Mention you are a Fat Tire Freak to the sales guys at Trek Bicycle Store of Mount Pleasant and you will get 10% discount on all parts, accessories, and labor! Thanks Trek Bicycle Store for helping out a Freak in need! Cheers! |
