Tomac Bikes Makes it Official for 2011

When the DPT cycling team hits the dirt in the upcoming 2011 season it will be on a Tomac! We are extremely excited about the news and can hardly wait to take that first ride on our new machines. Why Tomac? They know mountain bikes! Here is what their official website has to say!

Philosophy
We believe in simple, hard core, quality products that are made by the people who use them.

Bikes with exceptional ride quality are the result of spending hours and hours in the saddle, not sitting in meetings discussing the marketing advantages of one technology over another. We don't spend time chasing trends. We do not make road bikes, BMX bikes, city bikes or any of these esoteric bikes.

We ride mountain bikes. We know mountain bikes. We make mountain bikes.

Thanks to Joel and all the staff at Tomac. I see many podiums for 2011 thanks to you and your bikes. Looking forward to working with you for years to come! Go Tomac!

Our Machines, The "Flint 29" Sweet!

See the full line up of 2011 Tomac Bikes now on there website!

Thank goodness for our Swiftwicks!!

Here in the northern part of West Virginia the snow has finally arrived and the temperature forecast says we will not be climbing past the low 30's for the next week or so. People often ask us how do we handle the cold?! The right gear makes all the difference. Thank goodness for our sock and arm warmer sponsor Swiftwick! They keep our tootsies nice and toasty even when the weather takes a turn for the worse.

Swiftwick socks and arm warmers makes it so we have once less thing to worry about when it is time to ride. Run out now to your local shop and get a few pairs. If they don't carry them, tell them they need to. You will thank me later!

We unconditionally guarantee every Swiftwick product to be the best performance product you have ever worn, or we invite you to mail us the laundered socks and a request for a competitor’s replacement pair of equal value.
