Olympic Cycling comes to town!

Plan for next weekend for our Leatherhead area customers:

Visit us & browse our superb stock, grab a drink, have a pootle along to our local "The Bear" Pub in Oxshott for a (non alcoholic) drink and a bite to eat- and watch the Olympic cyclists race around!

This also means some road closures- here's the deal:

The Road Race Cycling events pass through Leatherhead next weekend (28th & 29th) and that means road closures and accessibility issues for our store. 

Here is a map – the race passes through Leatherhead from around 14.40pm reaching the top of the hill north of the M25 at around 3pm – at the bear shortly after 3pm, or earlier if they break records this Olympics(!):

Olympic cycling route

Details:

-    Store is open as normal both days over the weekend
-    It can only be accessed from the north i.e. from the M25/A243
-    The race itself passes through Leatherhead between 2.40pm and 3pm both days

Why not make use of our late opening on Thursdays (to 8PM) if you want to avoid the Road Closures over the weekend?

As we mentioned earlier our local pub “The Bear” is on the cycle route and has a special event to enjoy the race – perhaps worth a visit to us and them!

Ride With Us Tours- real ife test- Croatia!

Our friends at Ride With Us Tours www.ridewithustours.co.uk are really giving some of our gear a tough test- in all temperatures, in all parts of the world.


They have recently been to Croatia with a tour, exploring the beautiful country on their bikes.. (!). 


With them were our fabulous Probiker Pr-12 Summer Motorbike Jackets:

What a job these guys have!

• Motorcycle air mesh summer jacket
• Breathable, wind & waterproof removable inner jacket
• Super Shield removable CE protectors shoulders & elbows
• Reflective panels
• All-round & short connection zippers

No, not a border search, a demo of how the jacket fits over or under the airflow jacket

Probiker PR-12: Mens motorcycle air mesh jacket with waterproof removable inner jacket: Enjoy the Summer heat in a lightweight, breathable sportsbike jacket that can be wind and waterproof when you need it to be! Mesh inserts on the front and sleeves guarantee cooling ventilation. And when it rains, simply zip in the waterproof inner jacket to protect you from rain or simply from early morning wind-chill!


Here's what they say about them:


'Ride With Us Tours' Real Life Test in Croatia: "The jacket is light weight and well designed with the purpose of providing a comfortable ride in hot weather. The mash in front and the back offers a good level of ventilation while not compromising on protection. All protective padding (back, shoulders, elbows) is well placed so it fits comfortably and does not create any uncomfortable pressure points. The jacket contains two side pockets that are big enough to store the bike keys, alarm fob, ear plugs or any other small riding accessories. It also has a large mob phone compartment that is large enough for a smart phone, one inner and one passport pocket. However, despite being a light weight summer jacket it is still an effective wind / waterproof garment. It has a unique feature in a form of inner liner which can be detached from the jacket and worn as a separate item. The inner liner can be worn under or over the main jacket providing an extra aspect of usage. In an instance of wet weather riding if the inner jacket is worn over it prevents the main jacket getting wet and saves inconvenience of drying it. As it contains a pocket with a zip and is easy to store or carry the inner liner can also be used as a light casual garment for off the bike activities such as visits to tourist attractions."
