Our good friend & long time part time employee at Fitzgerald’s, Dave Houlton, had a very serious accident on Teton Pass this past weekend. He is moving along the very slow road to recovery in the Idaho Falls Intensive Care Unit and could use a little shout out from you. When you walk in the shop, turn right, and please take a moment to write a message to Dave. Whether you knew him or not, he’d be psyched to know you’ve thought about him during his battle. The shop means a lot to BTD (Big Tall Dave) and having our energy sent his way will help incredibly.
Still getting caught up from the 5 day Bike Park Build – Look for a full report soon. Come ride it!
Tour Divide 2009
Banff, AB – Antelope Wells, NM
Jay and Tracey Petervary started the Tour Divide race this past weekend. If you haven’t heard, Jay and Tray are the first couple racing the Continental Divide on a TANDEM Mountain Bike!
I don’t have a lot of time for an indepth report but I wanted to pass along all the important info on how to follow the race. Remember, this race is longer and harder than the Tour De France and you can follow the coverage is almost better too!
Nearly 3000 miles and 200,000 feet of climbing!

Live Map provided by Spot – Leaderboard
Jay and Tracey are carrying a Spot GPS unit so we can see exactly where they are during the whole race!
