Lewis and Clark at it again!<--Posted Monday, September 10, 2007 by Gary

I just got this email from our friends at Lewis and Clark, check it out.......
Just wanted to let you guys know about a few events we have coming up this month. On Saturday, September 22, we will be hosting a free pancake breakfast in the bike shop for all local riders. We'll be leading the usual 10 am easy road ride from the store, but the meal is for everybody. It starts at 11:30 am to give everyone around town time to pack up the bikes and make it over to the store. Also, on Tuesday the 18th, we're teaching a free women's only bike maintenance clinic at 6:30 pm in the bike shop. The class will be taught by our two female bike department employees, and we'll be drawing for prizes. We also still have our free maintenance clinics for everyone every Monday night at 6:30. It would be great if you could post these events on your site. Thanks again.
