Ride bike shop launch party

My local bike shop, Ride in Newcastle who keep me supplied with bike bits in my new life as the cycling photographer (I promise the full article is coming soon), are having a launch party. They are just a new shop, but are getting a good name for themselves and as the largest bike shop in Newcastle upon Tyne they have a great range of bikes and bike bits. And for someone like me who likes bike exotica they are always willing to order bike bits in if they don't have them in stock.

Of particular interest to me is a talk by Paul Errington at 7:30pm. Paul is an extreme mountain bike racer and has just completed a really tough race. Check out his blog at shoestring-racing.blogspot.com/ and then come to his talk. The launch evening will also have 20% discount on all bike parts and clothing and there will be the usual drinks and nibbles and competitions to win bike stuff.

The launch party will be on Monday 22nd February at 5-9pm. More details including how to find Ride can be found at www.ridecycles.co.uk/. You might even find me there stood in the corner promoting the joys of folding bikes and trailers!
