forget trail work, that would qualify you for sainthood.

Default At first we had a couch in the shop

Quickly, the couch had to go to make room for more bike stuff.

We do want you to hang out even if it gets crowded.

How wrong/great would it be if we could put in a bar?

There are dreams of flat screens w/ videos going, and a lounge area.

Obviously we are currently working with brutal spacial limitations.

Thanks guys for the daydream session.

i know every time i go to the Path i just wander around picking parts off the shelves. i always drop more coin than i wanted because they have nearly everything.... now if they had a lounge and some Optimators.... they would have EVERYTHING!!!!

i would donate 10 bucks toward Extreme Path Makeover.

Seen a group of I think 4 riders today on road bikes heading up towards Mt Baldy. They were all wearing The Path jerseys. A few guys in my road club mention the cool argyle jerseys and I told them about The Path. I did give a shout out to them as I was riding by, but I was on a downhill section and I was leading the peloton so I couldn't see who was riding or if I recognized any of them.

Good call!
There were 3 of us.

We tried GMR but it was closed so we pedaled over to that Mountain Ave.

The cool argyles get comments almost everywhere.

Paid them a visit on Saturday!

Thanks to Tani and (mechanic Dave?) for SAVING me some money! Thought I needed to make a costly repair- walked out the door paying $7! On second thought.... I did leave with a bag full of stuff!

Why would you lounge when you've got Whistler Mountain to ride on? C'mon, ALine, gimme that trail anyday. Now if we're in Tustin hangin' at the Path, that's a different story.

Hey "T", maybe we should start talking about our "Bikes & Brews" idea again..........

We talked a few years back about me adding a shop to THE shop, that served up coffee and pastries in the am before rides, and BREWS of the other sort and burritos from lunch time on.
OK, time for me to wake up now!

Before Tani does any remodeling to the shop, I think he should first open a second Path up here so we have a decent LBS!
