CYCLING NEWS

COFFEE, YUM!

Bicycle Works have secured a supply of Magnus Maximus Coffee and are donating a portion of the sales to junior development.

'Magnus Maximus' is Maggys own creation! He spent weeks perfecting the perfect blend and then weeks without sleep while the effects wore off! The coffee is smooth, not bitter and has a crazy caffeine kick. However you choose to drink it, espresso, latte, cappuccino, we have created what we think is one of the nicest tasting coffees around. A bag is only $15 and selling fast. (whole beans only)

RACING MATTERS

Picture of the week

Continuing with the topic of my vacation as no one seems willing to share their own cycling-themed photos, this is my daughter's 1973 Raleigh Ltd secured (somewhat) outside of her college dorm.
