Public is Invited to Parvilla Cycles Grand Opening on Saturday

Although they have been open since the end of May, Parvilla Cycles in Edgewater is hosting a Grand Opening celebration on Saturday. The shop will be open for extended hours (8 a.m. to 6 p.m.) and will have education and information session, rides with a local pro, discounts and giveaways.

"Everything in the store will be on sale, at least ten percent off," said owner Stu Waring."Plus, we'll be giving away some great stuff, a bike, courtesy of Giant, accessories, shoes worth $200, all kinds of stuff."

To start the day, there will be a ride from the store led by Giant pro rider Jordan Kahlenberg. The ride will begin at 9 a.m. and will follow the same route as their Monday night "women's ride." It's a 23-mile route through south county.

Waring and co-owner Ian Banks want the store to become the go-to place or serious cyclists and triathletes.

Since opening, they have had an ongoing Monday night "women's only" ride at 5:30 p.m. and a co-ed ride at 6 p.m. For triathletes, they do a "brick" run after the store ride (3-4 miles).

Waring said that they will have raffles on Saturday, which will include giveaways from Giant, Orbea,  Ecco, Hammer Nutrition, Tifosi sunglasses and a free race entry to Piranha Sports races amongst others.
