Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain....ugh!

Most of us are not fans of the rain and nearly all of us cyclists agree that rain can seriously dampen (pun intended) our spirits when we have an itch to hit the road. But wait no longer - Fort Langley Cyclery may have found the solution to the soggy dilemma of whether to ride or not to ride! While at Interbike this past September, we came across this great bicycle clothing company: Showers Pass, based in Portland Oregon, makes incredible rain gear for cyclists and some of their gear is so good-looking that you could wear it straight from your bike and into the office. We are working hard to find a way of getting this clothing line across the border and into our store, and are very excited about the possibility of carrying this product. We hope you'll love it too.


As for the progress of our store renovations, we are steadily moving forward. The electrical work is done, the bathroom is done, the old flooring is out and the drywallers will hopefully be doing their magic between Christmas and the New Year. 

But the thing we are most anticipating is the unveiling of our design and logo. We have a meeting this weekend with our design expert, James Moes, and maybe on the next blog we can put it up to show you (no promises though...). James, a wonderful visual artist and photographer, has been working hard to interpret our mental vision of the store and putting that into a physical design pallete.  Thanks James! 


And thanks to all of you who have been following along with us and have been encouraging us in this journey.  Your support has been appreciated.  And in case we don't have a chance to blog again in the next week, Tim, Misty, Jon, Alyssa (and baby-to-be) all wish you a very blessed Christmas.
