Coach Recommended:

That you take your bike in for a tune up prior to the race. Shops are busy the week leading up to the race, so you will want to get your bike in early! It’s totally sweet to have a sweet running machine…right Ray? Let’s go for personal and bike performance on our Get Pumped Adventure!
