PJW Race + Sport Services available
Looking for “Event” Services to help support your ongoing or in planning business or community event, try our “Competition Roller Race” also called “Cold Sprints” and/or “Gold Sprints”. Designed for more active bike riders who have energy to burn and energized support crowds who want to cheer on the “racers”. We need an approx. 10′ x 10′ square to set up and run the event. We bring all the equipment needed, set up and conduct the event, tear down and leave no trace behind. Pricing varies.
More leisurely Event is our Maintenance Pop Up. Again, we bring everything needed to fit in an approx. 10′ x 10′ space, inside or outside. We will do, generally, FREE (Tips are encouraged and appreciated) light bicycle repairs and maintenance as owners wait and enjoy your hospitality. Bike owners can also drop off and pick up later the same day if that is more convenient. No component parts are replaced as there is no way we can carry an entire bike stores spares for such a wide variety of possible bikes. Pricing to you for our Pop Up varies.
Chain Sonic Cleaned and Hot Dip waxed for speed and performance. You supply a new or used chain. If used, we check for chain stretch prior to service. The chain is solvent and Sonically Cleaned and readied, then Hot Wax Dipped with your choice of Molten Speed Wax or Silca Secret Blend Hot Dip wax. Depending on ride conditions, you can get approx. 1000 miles of service before a re wax is needed. The benefit is less chain internal friction and longer chain life. $20.00 per chain, 2-3 days needed. Cyclists who wax chains often have 2 chains, one on the bike, one in service mode.

Coach Tips
Mini training tips
You are what you repeatedly do
Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit!
Do I need to say more? Thought to be a quote from Aristotle but more likely from Will Durant, an Englishman.
Eat/Fuel before you are hungry
Anyone actively living life should know this is the case but as athletes focused on performing well in an event, we sometimes ignore this basic need, Fuel for the effort. More to come about fueling your life and efforts and the Sponsors we trust to get us to that end. Scratch Labs, Momentous, Zealios.
Trust Your Training & Coach
If you have a coach, (I’ve had one for over 30 years) I hope you did your due diligence and made sure that coach was best for your needs and desires. You decided early on that the coach you picked was knowledgeable and talented and would move you forward in your goals. If you are questioning that choice, it might be time to talk to them and maybe move to a coach you can trust totally. Caveat, you have to follow the plan to improve. If you don’t follow the plan and improve, look in the mirror and ask why.
Mentally Prepare as much as Physically
I’m sure I can’t achieve that! Well, yes because your metal prep has sabotaged your performance. Maybe go back to Trust the training. Did you fully follow the plan so that you are physically fit for the effort? If yes, that will lay the foundation to be mentally fit as well. Physical performance will excel when you can back it up with positive mental energy.
