Retailing Thoughts and a Different Route Today

Today, we started the beginners ride with only three riders; me Cindy and a guy named Josh that bought a Giant OCR Composite 3 like Julie's back in September.

Even though I am no longer in bicycle retail, I enjoy listening to people talk about their shopping experiences. Josh had made his purchase decision in part because of two things:

The time that Brad spent with him compared to that of other retailers he shopped with.

Cadence 120's 30-day Risk Free Promise.

The second item makes me feel really good since I was one of three retailers that helped pioneer this for the members a national co-op of retailers, YaYa! Bike.

Today's ride was a bit chilly at the start, but it warmed up as the ride progressed. For a little change in scenery, after our typical ride through Riviere du Chien, we headed over to Crestview to explore its potential for riding loops. This neighborhood is quite extensive, with some surprising hills on its northern side. I think this will be a great place to do Tuesday and Thursday evening loops.
