Specialized & Michaels Bicycles Team up for GGR's Rocktober Event!

10/15/2015

Specialized has really stepped up their community involvement in the last few years. I'm so thrilled to see this and hope to see the rest of the bike companies doing the same thing! With their reps and women's product managers stepping up and getting involved with the women's community, they are setting a great example for bike companies getting involved in the communities. We look forward to giving them our feedback to help make better products for the future and we thank them.

This is Specialized 1st year at GGR's Rocktober event. They are bringing a demo fleet of their awesome bikes. To reserve one of their demo bike's for Sunday's Rocktober event, please check out their inventory here: www.girlzgoneriding.com/demo-bikes.html. One of the bikes I ride is a Specialized Epic which I really enjoy and have taken it on everything from XC, endurance riding to DH. It's an incredible bike.

I personally had an amazing Specialized adventure this past summer being invited to SBCU. Specialized has also invited the GGR Leadership team to SBCU in December. We are VERY stoked to be a part of this! 

Specialized will not only have a huge demo fleet at this Sunday's GGR Rocktober event, they are donating one of their bikes for the GGR raffle as well in conjunction with Michael's Bicycles in Newbury Park!
