Well, the boys did brilliantly and it certainly was a very tough 24 hours.
Mark came in 18th and Graham finished in 9th in the solo category. Brilliant results despite being beset by mechanical problems and having to resort to starjumps to keep the blood flowing between laps!
Quote of the race was... "ugh... the bike's just destroyed themselves overnight... it was f*****g nightmarish". Yeah yeah, whatever. We all know they'll be back next year.
Well done guys, and well done to everyone who completed the whole 24 hours.

Bikegoo riders face the Strathpuffer 24
Hi Folks,
Happy new year to you all.
So, we're into 2011 and the first major 24 hour mountain bike event of the year has arrived. Oh yes, its Strathpuffer time again and it always promises thrills and spills galore.
For those who have never heard of it before, the Strathpuffer 24 is possibly the toughest 24 hour mountain bike race in the UK and runs from 15th-16th Jan in Strathpeffer, in deepest darkest Scotland. Graham and Mark our two Northern riders are heading up there to fly the flag for Bikegoo.
We'll be keeping an eye on things and posting updates on their progress and general goings on via our Twitter feed (www.twitter.com/bikegoo) . So if you are interested in how the boys are getting on keep an eye on our Tweets!
Lets hope they can deal with the cold, avoid mechanical problems and produce some cracking results!
Good luck lads!

Xmas posting
Hi Guys,
As Xmas creeps ever closer there can be some last minute panicking to buy those final gifts. Often its a little bit worrying buying items online at this time of year as you can't be too sure that items will arrive in time for the big day.
At Bikegoo we aim to offer a truly personal service to try and get your items to you as quickly as possible. So, if you absolutely have to have your items in time for Xmas please send us an email or give us a call to let us know. We will try and get your items sent through carriers that aren't currently struggling with a backlog or with excessive seasonal demand and will hopefully give your parcel the best chance of arriving with you on time.
We will, of course, continue to despatch all normal orders within 24 hours of receiving them (during the week) via 1st Class post or through our courier partners and you still stand a good chance of getting them the next day anyway! We just thought we'd offer this additional service to help put your mind at rest in the run up to Xmas.
Have a good one!

*** SNOW UPDATE - 4TH DECEMBER ***
Hi Guys,
Good news! The snow is gradually vanishing and all orders that have been slightly delayed in the last couple of days have now been despatched. The last of them caught the Saturday post today so should be with customers very soon. We're bang up to date despite the snow's best efforts to cause us problems.
Bikegoo is open tomorrow too, to catch up on workshop servicing jobs but if anyone is planning to come up to the workshop best bring a 4x4 as the road to our workshop is still very bad indeed.
Thanks to those customers who have been patient with us in the last couple of days, but normal service has now been resumed.
Cheers

*** SNOW UPDATE - 2ND DECEMBER ***
Hi Folks,
I'm sure you don't need reminding but as the news keeps telling us, snow is continuing to cause problems for the majority of the UK.
At Bikegoo we are unfortunately having a few problems too. Our workshop and warehouse are currently inaccessible via road thanks to the snow and ice. This means Royal Mail and our couriers can't get up to us and therefore we are currently unable to despatch most orders. As soon as this weather improves a bit we'll get things moving again.
We'll be working all weekend until the early hours if that's what it takes for us to catch up (so long as the snow has improved by then!).
We're sorry about this but we'd ask our customers to wait a couple more days than usual when receiving their orders.
If you have any questions, please email them through to us on support@bikegoo.co.uk
Thanks in advance for your understanding guys!

Bike maintenance, not just for Xmas...
Bike maintenance is often over looked when it comes to that heartfelt Christmas present for someone special. Even if that particular person is cycling mad, their friends and family generally opt for a set of Sealskinz or maybe some arm warmers for an Xmas gift (at least thats what mine do!).
But this year, why not go for a decent set of allen keys or push the boat out and buy a workstand for that special someone? Whatever it is, we've got everything a maintenance-savvy cyclist could possibly want for Xmas so why not mosey over to the Bikegoo webpage and see what we can tempt you with.
We'll also be running a few short term special offers on some of our stuff in the lead up to Xmas so make sure you're keeping an eye on us or else you may miss out!
Ta!
