Dale and all,

Some of us here in San Diego have been thinking about making a road trip up to Barons Place. We were thinking it would be really fun to take the train from San Diego to Santa Barbara, hopefully picking up some passan gers on the way through Orange County and Los Angeles.

Anyone up for a mass train ride to the Grand Opening event? I'd be all o ver that. Many of us love to ride the train now and again; we should all get together and take a ride. You can take a bike on the train with you , I'm pretty sure. Let's do it!!

Interested parties please drop me a note and we'll see if we can form up a possee to attend the bash.

sent me a nice note (below)

While I will not get out there for their opening celebration, I am

soliciting one of you CR folk to do a photo report.. Pics of exterior,

people at the opening, cool parts, etc. Can someone volunteer for this

fun assignment?

<< We also wanted to let you know that we are finally opening our

retail vintage store May 14 (Mother's Day) in Santa Barbara, CA. If we

aren't able to hook up with the CR list soon, maybe you or I can ask

somebody else to let the CR members know.

We will have a ribbon cutting by a council member at 1.00 pm and serve

coffee. The coffee theme is staying with us as we are calling it --

Cafe de Velo--. As Baron said it will be a great place (he loves to

talk right?) where we will have complimentary coffee and other drinks

etc for sale for cyclists to enjoy. There will be lots of bistro

tables, chairs and umbrellas in- and outdoors to hang out at and enjoy

the beautiful climate in Santa Barbara while talking all cycling. Since

we are still busy with our online sales and incoming containers, we

will only be open: Wednesday 12 -5, Friday 10 - 6, Sat 10 - 6, Sunday

11 - 5.

We're still working on the place and are looking for some help!

Someone who loves and knows all vintage! Maybe you can spread the word

around as well as the CR list seems to be a good place to let people

know. Now all we have to do is for you to come visit us and us to join

the Cirque du Cyclisme so we can finally meet! Renaissance The address is :

Cafe de Velo 615 E. Gutierrez Santa Barbara, CA 93103

tel: (805) 966 6510

Many people have been asking over the years when this will be

happening and I'm happy to let them know we will finally be more

accessible.

Best regards, Cecile >>
