That sounds great, and I do wish the best of luck to Jake and Orlando, However, I heard from a bird that Lex sold Bikes and More over on sixth and twenty third. The new owner is an avid supporter of local cycling and has a desire to transform Bikes and More into a top quality Roadie-Friendly shop, without the attitude. When I was in there last, the new owner, Paul Schmidt, was cleaning house and packing the shelves full of new inventory. The shop is now the newest Bianchi Dealer. When you get a chance, you should stop in and give the shop a good once-over.
Regards,
Paul Schmidt
Owner
Bikes & More

Hey, all,

1 - There is a new bike shop on Newberry Road nr 34th St. It is located north across the street from the location of the old Bike Route. If you know where the Gator Barbershop is in the row of one story businesses...this new shop is the last building on the west end of that row...right beside the bridge that crosses Hogtown Creek.

Orlando, previous of the Bike Route and Mr. Goodbike, and Jake are running it. Orlando says he has plenty of background working on Trek/Shimano gear trains, brakes, etc...105, Ultegra, etc. They opened 11 Oct so not a lot of inventory yet. Filled with Fuji, Cannondale, Surly and some other brands. Most new, some used...there are two sweet Cannondale CAAD racers in there, 56 cm and 54 cm. Plenty of supplies...Gatorskin tires, tubes, pumps, etc.

The move by the Bike Route was not good for me...it left me with the choice of driving down to Gator Cycle or up to the BR or riding into the thick of UF traffic to get to Chain Reaction. I live within 1.5 miles of this new shop...unless I see something wrong with their skills, I plan to use this new shop for repairs, equipment, etc. Can anyone vouch for these guys?

2 - Anyone planning a Saturday 800 am Sunrise ride from the NW Chevron? I was planning to pass there ~800 am and do the sunrise route backwards cruising at 19-21 mph but with some intervals at 22-25+ mph. Head out 121 N, turn left 236 W, turn left 241 S and hitch a ride with the NW wind, turn left MH Road.

Let me know here if you are and I will be sure to pass by the station at 800 am and keep an eye out for you. And, I do not mind switching the plan and do the Sunrise route the other way and do the usual sprints on the hills, etc.

spin the hills...Bob Howland
