Our annual Holiday Sale begins December 1st this year.  We have already brought in around 90% of items that will likely be on your list as a cyclist, or on the list of a biker that you are shopping for.  We will have a holiday shopping list of items that are sure fire gifts if you are having a hard time shopping for a bicyclist that will be available on or site soon. If you go to skylinecyclery.com and click on the calendar the sale dates and discounts are all listed.  As always thanks and look forward to seeing everyone.

Just got an e-mail from the guys working over on the trail coming off the North Ogden Divide and it sounds like they are organizing what will likely be the last trail work session of the season.  They are trying to get a good turn out to try and finish trail work before foul weather sets in.  They will be meeting at 10:00 at the end of Mountain Road. To get there you act as though you were going over the Divide, as you head east towards the mountain take a left on 1050E and follow until you hit 3300N, turn right or east and follow to Mountain Road, turn left and follow to end, find nice out of the way place to park and get ready to dig.  If you have any questions call 801-394-7700, or send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

We just got our first order of GoPro HD3 silver edition cameras in stock they go for $300 each.  This is the new version, WiFi compatible and also has touch screen options.  We have two silver models in stock and have HD3 Black editions on back order that will ship to us as soon as they stock.  If they go anything like last year they will be hard to find around the holidays.  If you want to take a look at one in person stop by, or if you have questions about the cameras give a call.

So as of tonight Skyline Cycle will not only have the ability to serivce front forks. We will also have the capability to service rear air shocks from Fox, RockShox, and Manitou. I want to be very clear about what service means. For years now all bike shops have been able to service the air seals on rear shocks, including us. We are still capable of servicing just the air seals but now in addition we can service the internal oil chambers of these shocks as well as nitrogen charge them. We have invested in a shock dyno and can test stock shocks as well as all rebuilt shocks and supply customers with graphs available upon request. What this really means is that we can do a factory level rebuild here at Skyline Cycle. We will have a list of shocks that we can work on as soon as our link on our website comes up. This is a service that we are proud to bring to you, our customers, and it also means that the wait times that have been typically 2 to 3 weeks at the factory are now drastically cut and within our control. We have developed our own internal seals for Fox rear shocks and are able to order seal kits directly from RockShoxs and Manitou. We look forward to working with you in this new area and are excited to expand in this field. Prices and a link will soon be available on our site so keep checking. If you need to send a shock in call 801-394-7700 or send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

It looks like trail work this Saturday November 3rd is a go with one small change. Instead of 8:30a.m. we will be meeting at 10:00a.m..  Other than this small alteration all the other details remain the same. Plan on meeting at the gate at the end of mountain road.  To get there you act as though you were going over the Divide, as you head east towards the mountain take a left on 1050E and follow until you hit 3300N, turn right or east and follow to Mountain Road, turn left and follow to end, find nice out of the way place to park and get ready to dig.  If you have any questions call 801-394-7700, or send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

For any of you looking to buy a bike or get some accessories here is a great opportunity.  In the Halloween spirit anyone who comes in in costume will get 10% off any one bike purchase, and 20% off any one accessory. Happy Halloween, have fun be safe.

I'll tell you what we are happy to see a little nice weather back again. This is just about perfect weather to ride in.

Ok, so mother nature pretty much shot down any chance of working on the trial this weekend.  I was in touch with Weber Pathways and they got in touch with the gentleman  from IMBA that is building the trail and it was decided that there is no need to suffer this weekend when there will be plenty of nice days coming.  What we decided was to reschedule for next Saturday which is the 3rd of November.

Plan on meeting at the gate at the end of mountain road.  To get there you act as though you were going over the Divide, as you head east towards the mountain take a left on 1050E and follow until you hit 3300N, turn left or east and follow to Mountain Road, turn left and follow to end, find nice out of the way place to park and get ready to dig.  If you have any questions call 801-394-7700, or send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

In light of the weather we decided to offer a discount on our indoor Kinetic Road Machine trainers.  We are going to call this sale the "What the heck happened to fall weather trainer sale." Through this Saturday, the 27th we will offer 10% off all our in stock Kinetic Road Machine trainers and throw in the front wheel block for free with the deal.  As always if any of you ever see a better price anywhere let us know we would like the opportunity to give you the best price period, thanks.

Weather permitting, meaning I will be updating info concerning this blog throughout the week, I was really hoping to do a little trail work Saturday October 27th in the morning from 8:30a.m.-10:30a.m.  We will be working on the new trail getting put in by Weber Pathways and IMBA over near the North Ogden Divide.  Until further notice, and I am going to check with Mark because he has the tools and knows wear work is needed, plan on meeting at the gate at the end of mountain road.  To get there you act as though you were going over the Divide, as you head east towards the mountain take a left on 1050E and follow until you hit 3300N, turn left or east and follow to Mountain Road, turn left and follow to end, find nice out of the way place to park and get ready to dig.  If you have any questions call 801-394-7700, or send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

I have now scheduled all the spin classes through the end of February 2013.  A description of the class is below.

The Skyline Cycle spin sessions are an eight week base building system utilizing the power meter . The system is designed to train the cyclists body to burn fat cells as a primary fuel source and to keep stationary training time more interesting and fun.We will do the sessions January through February.
Each Saturday morning at 10am we will spin together at Skyline Cycle on our super cool inside deck. The first week will be a fitness test. The fitness test will give the athlete the work ranges their workouts will be based on for the next six weeks.Also, I will be sending out workouts for the rest of the week.The 8th week will be another fitness test to access your fitness gains. Classes will cost $5.00 each.
This system works and will have you ready for the season. If this interests you let me know. If I have to start a second session I totally can. Call the shop at 801-394-7700. Or come see me at Skyline

Quick update, we currently still have two road bikes, sizes 52cm, 54cm..  We also have four mountain bikes left, 2 larges, 1 medium, and on small.  Prices on the mountain bikes are $250.00, road bikes go for $450. Have a great weekend all.

Hey all we sold out of all the GoPro HD2 cameras and LCD screens we had.  We will be getting new stock in a couple of days.  GoPro announced that they have new cameras that will be available to ship top of the week and we will have a good selection on hand from next week on through the holidays and beyond.

In preparation to receive new stock for the 2012 holiday season we are putting on sale our  2012 HD2 cameras and the LCD screens that go along with them.  The cameras originally sold for $300.00 each and we will move the two we have at $225.00 each. The LCD screens have been retailing at $80.00 and we will be selling them for $50.00 each.  We have on hand two of the cameras and two of the LCD screens.  The sale is limited to stock we have on hand and we will not honor this price on orders, so if you would like one cruise our direction and get one before their gone.

Just dropping a quick note that we will be selling our rental bikes on October 20th, which is next Saturday.  They will be sold on a first come first serve basis meaning we will not be holding any of the bikes.  We have the following Raleigh Revenio 1 road bikes; 1 large 56cm, 2 medium 54cm, 1 small 52 and the following Giant Revel 2 mountain bikes; 1 large 20", 2 medium 18".  This means there is a total of eight bikes available.  You are more than welcome to come down and look at them any time and we will be displaying them next week in the back of the store.

Kyle, aka(Beaver) had one of his favorite bikes stolen some time today.  It is a Felt model, Little Bastard to be exact, it is grey, has a enlarged top tube, has huge fatty black cruiser tires and ape hangers for handlebars.  Its pretty much a one of a kind, know that if you help us bust this person we at Skyline Cycle will totally hook you up with a reward and you will have the opportunity to turn someone in who sucks.   If you see this person call the cops or call us, thanks. Good luck hunting.

Doug Cottle was first and for most a great friend, customer, and an extremely talented rider.  Tonight all of us here at Skyline Cycle want to express our thanks for the interaction we had with Doug, and say goodbye to a fellow cyclist who died doing what he loved.  He will be missed beyond what we can express.

We got Kinetic Road Machines and all the goodies to go along with them in last week and now have them out on the floor.  I know, I know its not time to start using trainers yet because the weather is beautiful, but we figured might as well be prepared and as always we guarantee the best price in the area.  If you find a better price just let us know and we will match and or beat that price.

Dig was awesome this morning.  This trail when it is done will be a very fun flowing trail, contoured with berms and features that will make it challenging for riders of all different levels.  Special thanks to Eric Greenwood for digging a little dirt with us this morning.  I will keep putting up dig times so maybe we all can ride this sucker before we have snow on the ground.

Weber Pathways was asking me how many of you would be coming, and I didn't have an answer. If you will drop a note on the account, call, or send an e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Also a correction on meeting places, continue up 1050 E until you get to 3300 N take a right and follow this road until north mountain road and take a left follow this road until it dead ends.
