Santa just received with some kids bikes.

Nine U.S. cities selected to host USA CRITS for 2021 Nine cities across the United States have been selected to play host to America’s national criterium series..., USA CRITS. The pandemic pushed several events back including the pre-season Birmingham Hammerfest which will join for 2021 as a regular season points race. Other events, including Sun City Crit in El Paso and Athens Twilight in Athens, have also departed from traditional dates in what will provide a recovery window from the pandemic. Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System Criterium Partners for Active Living is prepared with a date the Friday before Athens should there be a need to move that event on the calendar as well. There will be expanded races surrounding the Series in a number of venues including a second day added to the Salt Lake Criterium in Utah. The ASWD Twilight Criterium in Boise will simultaneously be hosting Para-cycling Road National Championships and the Chrono Kristen Armstrong TT alongside their downtown criterium shadowing the Capitol. Discussions are in progress about adding a second day of local racing to the Audi Denver Littleton Twilight Criterium, America’s largest criterium event. Saint Francis Tulsa Tough will once again be in the Series comprising three days of crits and fondos with #D1 Teams racing for Series points on the Blue Dome course Friday. 2021 will see 19 days of live streaming free to viewers. We want the world to see our #D1 teams race and expand promotion of the venues and partners helping grow the sport. This represents a $250k investment made possible by our partners and comprises nearly 80% of all road events streamed in America. We have been in discussions with a couple of international media partners. This year is the bridge to pulling those agreements together, said Scott Morris, Managing Director. Winston-Salem Cycling Classic, previously announcing a move to the fall, will have an exciting new format with three days of criterium racing. Friday will play host to the USA CRITS Finals with the season jerseys and #D1 HelloFresh Team Competitions on the line. Winston-Salem continues their investment in the sport by also hosting the International Crit Challenge on Saturday. Select international teams from around the world will be invited to join in racing against America’s best. We can’t say enough about how our venues expanding their events, teams staying together despite not racing, and sponsors sticking with us during these challenging times has helped motivate our efforts. It hasn’t been easy at any level, but we know the teams are ready to race and the venues are looking forward to #theshow returning, added Morris. USA CRITS will continue to monitor the impacts of the pandemic and make changes that are in the health and safety interest of the athletes and communities. Twenty-two #D1 teams have so far committed to compete in the Series and will be announced later in January 2021. Confirmed to be returning are both of last year’s team winners, ButcherBox Cycling (men) and Colavita HelloFresh Pro Women’s Cycling Team (women). About USA CRITS Headed into the 15th year, USA CRITS is the premiere cycling series in the United States. USA CRITS features watchable venues allowing #D1 teams to compete in season-long team and individual jersey competitions. The events that form the USA CRITS Series have the ideals that have made criterium racing an American legacy: challenging courses that showcase arts and entertainment districts, a large and growing base of spectators, broad community support, and strong marketing opportunities for partners. USA CRITS is partnering toward a sustainable, watchable, team-based format for the sport of criterium racing in America. www.usarits.com #usacrits #racefororange

This next Volunteer Spotlight goes out to one of the most influential people in our trail scene. The man, the myth, the legend... Chuck Stewart. You may not hav...e heard his name, but I guarantee you’ve seen his work. His eye for technical features and his MS660 has kept riders in our area smilin’ for years. If you see a rock on a trail, Chuck probably put it there. Not only is he the only person to have a trail named after him at Allatoona Creek, but he has also claimed the life of over 200 derailleurs. We are super grateful for all of his work over the years and we are excited to see what he has up his sleeve next. Thank you Chuck for making our trails so rad. See more

As an essential business...

As most of you know, the City of Atlanta has issued a shelter in place directive. However, bicycle shops are considered an essential business. That being said, our store is in the City of Sandy Springs and we are open. We've had a lot of repairs roll in the last few weeks and we are working hard to get them back to folks; prioritizing where needed for commuters and essential workers. We've set up CURBSIDE SERVICE for pick-ups and drop-offs to diminish the need for contact ...and possible cross contamination and are limiting traffic in the store to less than 10 people including staff. And, of course, we are disinfecting the hell out of the store every chance we get. Please know we are here if you need us, but help us keep our employees safe by keeping your distance and limiting touches to items you intend to purchase. We appreciate your patience as we do our best in a difficult climate. Stay safe.

The science is in and it backs up what many of us already knew...our bikes are our drugs ;) Think of exercise as medication, says John Ratey, M.D., an associate clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. https://www.additudemag.com/exercise-and-the-adhd-brain/

We’ve got a lot of folks picking up bikes and repairs. We’re keeping regular hours to support our community during this time. But, please, don’t be offended if we don’t shake your hand and you are followed out of the store by a cloud of Lysol. Stay safe, folks! https://www.google.com//amp314/cycling-during-coronavirus/

Head outdoors for some fresh air with us tonight on our first shop ride of the season. Wheels down at 6pm. If you're nervous about the gym, exercising outdoors would ‘dramatically reduce any chance’ of getting THE VIRUS... https://www.google.com//is-it-safe-to-go-to-the-gym-safe-d

Ummmm...this does not work. Just sayin'.

This is fabulous! If an e-bike can help the grannies of the world have fun like this, it gets an enthusiastic thumbs up from us! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJETokbfnNI

Nice! Representin’.

Pure sweetness...and inspiring! It's amazing where a balance bike can take your little adventurer! https://www.youtube.com/watch Start with a runbike and skip the drama of training wheels. Come see us and we can show you how!

The results are in! Get those kiddos outside for a ride and help them develop those executive functioning skills...like better impulse control and more cognitive flexibility! Hooray for both of those!! https://www.additudemag.com/benefits-of-physical-activity/
