It’s a rainy Sunday here in Stowe. Football fans are rejoicing for a greater excuse to stay indoors glued to their TV, while the rest of us are bummed that it’s too wet to ride our bikes and too warm for this wet stuff to turn into snow. I figured I would try to brighten everyone’s day with more coverage from the Interbike trade show in Las Vegas! This time around we’ll look at Easton and Giro. Giro has been a staple brand for Skiershop and Bike Stowe for years, providing helmets in every price point and style desired. With the success we’ve seen with their helmets, we will be providing the Stowe area with much more from Giro (like shoes!) as well as more in stock representation of Easton components.
There are some new products and some subtle changes to the current line for the 2013 season. Take a look at the pictures, and as always, stop by the shop if you have any questions on what you see or what you don’t see!

Don’t forget to register for The Leaf Blower! It’s only a week away!! We just recently found out that Rocky Mountain Bicycles will be joining us and bringing a fleet of demo bikes for anyone to try! Feel free to stop by the shop early if you want to take a spin on a demo bike before your group ride. Demo bikes are available for group rides as well, but allow for some extra time for bike setup. When you’re going on an afternoon long ride, it’s important to have a demo bike tuned well. Thanks Rocky Mountain!
Keep your fingers crossed that we’re getting this rainy weather out of the way so we can have perfect sunny skies for The Leaf Blower! See everyone in a week!
