Mentor to Maysville and Schabobele Stage Race

Kentucky's best stage road race is coming up February 16th and 17th. There have been a lot of racers and first-timers stopping by the shop to get ready, so the excitement is definitely growing. Make sure to get some lightweight wheels to tame the climbs on Schabobele, which is likely where the whole weekend will be decided!

Kentucky Embraces Mountain Biking

Even though mountain biking started just over 25 years ago, it has already had a big influence on the state. Our state has chosen to promote the sport and even has provided an Unbridled Adventuretrailfinder. Which is good because mountain bikes still don't need bridles. Beware, it still needs refinement but it shows how many opportunities we have for some good biking. I think Kentucky is one of the nicest natural places on earth, and mountain biking is so low impact on the environment, it will keep the parks clean and usable for the future.
