I've never been to that store, probably because I didn't start cycling until long after I no longer lived full-time at my parents' place. I'll have to visit on one of my trips back.

Bud's was one of the best shops in the country 20-25 years ago.. It has seen a downward slide over the last decade and it's nice to see a shop like JAX come in and try to revitalize it...
They completely revamped the whole shop.. It is a TREK concept store so a little slim on bike selection but a nice shop..

George must be making the rounds on SoCal that day. He will be at the Trek store in Vista that same day (Dec 2) between 11am-1pm.
And yes, George married himself a podium girl!

Morning team ride starts at 7:40am.... no prob.
Am I wierd for buying a Disco Jersey to have him sign it? I really like George, he was Lance's best servant.
