High Desert Bicycles New Store
Our fabulous local bike shop sponsor High Desert Bicycles opened a second store in Northeast Albuquerque last week, which is a Specialized Concept store. At the V.I.P. Grand Opening event, BWR presented to HDB a framed BWR jersey with a plaque engraved as follows: Thank you for sponsoring and supporting Big Wheel Racing.
The store opening was complete with beer, snacks and cake, and was well represented by Specialized and other bike industry representatives, as well as a guest appearance by Professional Mountain Biker Ned Overend. The event brought in hundreds of cycling enthusiasts who quickly nabbed the free High Desert Bicycles T-Shirts and water bottles, and a couple of lucky individuals even won Globe bicycles.
In addition to the Friday evening shop opening, the weekend provided two group rides sponsored by High Desert Bicycles. Saturday’s road ride drew approximately fifty riders, while Sunday’s mountain bike ride led by Ned Overend brought about thirty or more.
The Grand opening was quite a success! Business continues at High Desert Bicycles 909 36th Pl. in Rio Rancho, and the new shop is in full swing at: 8110 Louisiana NE Albuquerque.
