Majorca is a cyclist’s playground. The variety of terrain, the climate, the views … it’s an absolutely unforgettable week of cycling. If you’ve missed this trip in the past, don’t miss it this year! We are once again partnering with GPM10, purveyors of the finest cycling experiences, who base themselves in Majorca every Spring and provide nothing but the best in logistics and support.

Click for Greenwich, Connecticut ForecastYou can’t fault the beautiful weather we’ve been having recently; we hope everyone has been able to get out to enjoy some miles. It’s getting closer to those last days that you’ll want to ride with your knees uncovered before the cold sets in for good!

Our Saturday Greenwich Shop Ride rolls tomorrow at 9am. Might change up the route a little bit this time, we’ll see how it goes on the road. Will still be about the same distance. Come join us!

Greenwich Shop Ride, October 1st

Tomorrow is October! I’m not sure what happened to September, must have missed it. Make sure you get those bike rides in before the cold weather settles in.

There’s a 50% chance of rain tomorrow morning, so we’ll plan on riding at 9am. If it’s really raining hard then pour another cup of coffee and hopefully the weather gets better for you to ride later.

 

Golden Apple Ride Recap

Posted on by

This past Sunday Signature Cycles was proud to support the Westchester Cycle Club in their 30th installment of the Golden Apple Ride. The Golden Apple has become well known for its scenic routes and exceptional support, and this year did not disappoint! Over 1000 athletes came out from all over the Tri-State area to spend the day with friends and family. Participants had their choice of four challenging routes from 15 to 100 miles … there was a ride for everyone.

We arrived at 7am for registration and setup. As always, we were met with coffee and muffins. After a quick breakfast we checked in for the ride, set up our expo area for after the ride, and then rolled out for the 32 mile “Candy Apple” loop.

We stopped with 15 miles remaining so we could catch up with some of the volunteers and happened to run into a few clients of Signature Cycles. It’s always great to see our bikes in action out on the road!

A Day with Lance Armstrong and Senator Kerry at PMC 2011

Posted on by

Friday evening in Sturbridge, MA started out with our traditional dinner by Rovezzi’s Restaurante before the official Pan Mass Challenge ceremonies would kick off.  Attending were Senator John Kerry, his brother Cam, PMC founder Billy Star, Senator Kerry’s Aide Jason Meininger, my wife Liz and Lance Armstrong. The conversation was eclectic and light, as you would expect from such a diverse group. We bantered from this year’s Tour, to recent politics, to the amazing growth of the PMC, raising nearly $35 million this year to fight cancer. Continue reading →
