New bikes? New trails? New suspension platform? What's not to want?

Meet us at the North Slope trails for our debut of Jamis Bicycles newest trail bikes, the Portal 29er and the Hardline 27.5. Both have Jamis's new 3VO suspension. The Portal and Hardline are like nothing you've ever had the pleasure of riding.

The Jamis Hardline, 160mm of travel front and rear, sandwiched between a set of 27.5" wheels.

The Jamis Portal, 29" inches of party on 130mm of travel.

We'll be meeting up at 10am on the North Slope Trails (Capitol Forest) and testing out these two new platforms, as well as the time tested Jamis Renegade that many of our customers have come to know and love. We'll have some food and refreshments, but you should plan on bringing some extra. We'll have some pedals, but if you have a pair you love... then you should probably bring those too. We WILL NOT have any extra helmets, so you should totally bring one of those.

What are we missing? We won't be cancelling for rain, unless it's really crazy hurricane force gales, then we'll totally be canceling for rain. If you have questions, (360) 491-9551 for answers. and Otherwise we can't wait to see you out there!.

Cheers friends, lets ride bikes!

2018 Santa Cruz Demo! UPDATE!

UPDATE:
Hello! Some of you may have noticed that this demo is scheduled to happen at the same time as our FOCFs North Side Friday Night Super D… Whoops! Well in lieu of this, we have made the call to move our demo over to the North Side Trail network and run it in Conjunction with the FNSD. Seems like a win win situation to us!

So rather then meeting at Fall Creek as we normally would, we will rendezvousing at the bottom of Scoby right off the A-Line (Directions bellow), this will give you the chance to ride the new Bronsons, 5010’s, and whatever else they provide on a much larger selection of trails that are more conducive to the nature of the bikes. See, like I said, win win! We are also extending the hours of operations out to 8pm to ensure adequate testing time.

Things to know:
Do NOT expect to be able to race a demo bike at the FNSD. This will 100% at the discretion of the demo driver as to what he’s ok with allowing to happen. Bring your own bike, and come early to get some demo time in, and hey, if the driver is OK with it, maybe you can race one. Just don’t count on it.

There will be plenty of bikes to go around, but shopping customers will be granted priority. Because of the joint nature of the event, and the possibility of a attendance over load I do want to be clear about this early. While I do not expect to have a shortage of bikes, customers who are actively shopping for bikes will be granted priority on demo over folks just looking to ride. Everyone is still welcome and encouraged to join, regardless of shopping status, and I expect to have plenty to go around… but thats your disclaimer :)

OTHERWISE! Lets party, bring your stoke, and fire to ride, and your pedals and helmet and lets get this show on the road!

Directions to the North Side Trails:
Take i5 Exit 104 to HW 101
Merge onto HW8
Take HW 8 for 12.5 miles until you see signs for “Grays Harbor ORV” Pull into Grays Harbor ORV
Drive past Moto track until road transitions into dirt.
Follow dirt (A-Line) until you reach the event.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Come one, come all! Joy Ride will be hosting the Santa Cruz National Demo Fleet here in Capitol Forest on August the third at the Fall Creek Trail Head. What does this mean? It means you will have an opportunity to throw a leg over the brand new, redesigned, Bronson, 5010, a plethora of other models from their line up.

Don’t get your dates confused! This will be a Friday afternoon demo, kicking off at 3pm and wrapping up around 7. We’ll have food on the grill and cold refreshments flowing, but if you have thing special you’d like us to cook up for you while you’re riding feel free.

While the demo is free of charge we will need you to bring: ID and Credit Card as collateral, an adult to sign for you if you are a minor, you’re own helmet, and pedals if you have a favorite pair (We’ll have plenty of pedals, just maybe not the ones you’d prefer, ya know?)

Come get out and keep it real with us! It’s going to be a great day.
