Turkeys Everywhere! - original photo by:KLMircea (Flikr)

Happy Thanksgiving (tomorrow) ... Go to Turkey, eat some turkey, or bowl a turkey. Or maybe Go bowling in Turkey and roll a turkey ... We'll be surfing.

Send us your Turducken photos with an NWR logo ... best one wins a Northwest Riders tee and sticker pack.

Flip it, flop it, fold it

We have the new gear trickling into the Northwest Riders office and it is officially Tag/Fold/Bag time. If anyone wants to have a sweet folding party give us a shout and maybe we can enlist you ... all the Red Bull you could ever want is the payment.

Plus...if you have never ran the "Flip-Flop-Folder" then you are in for a very special treat. Heavy machinery it is not, but if you aren't careful it could possibly dislocate a shoulder or maybe bend a fingernail...chew on that for a bit.

The Northwidget ...

Check out the all new shopping feature for the new gear. You will see this widget on our MySpace and other sites. It is safe and secure and uses Paypal or credit card payments through our Northwest Riders secure account. You can even click the "Help sell these products" link at the top right and paste this on your own MySpace pages, web sites, or BLOGS. Hit us up if you have questions. The new goods will be added to both the "Northwidget" store and our web site at www.northwestriders.com soon...stay tuned! Support Northwest.

Hoody Up

Knit it myself

The first winter hoody has arrived. We are putting a rush on the rest of the goods...looks like based on this first one they should be well received. More to come...

Let me explain...

is this weird?

So I was not too clear yesterday on the phrase I mentioned was spoken in regards to our clothing being held up and wanted to elaborate after receiving plenty of questions on Facebook. The phrase "I am a little worried here.." was uttered from the crazy character that we purchased clothing labels from. Now I don't know about most of you...but I myself don't ever really expect to hear such reinforcing and confidence instilling words from a vendor when we are in a time crunch trying to make a deadline.

On that note...the labels arrived...turns out it was the Drunken Contortionists at the border. They wanted the labels for something practical I am sure. Exactly what though we can't be too sure.

Other Notes This week:

Big Sale at Grizzly-Sports in Mill Creek, WA : Saturday 15th
Longboard Race in Lake Forest Park, WA : Sunday 16th

Tagtastic...

Just when you think you are gaining some ground Murphy's law kicks in. Things have been rolling smoothly the last week, however, as we near the completion of the goods the following phrase was coined:

"I am a little worried here.."

Hopefully this little snag is not in the midst of becoming a big one...some of our goods got "lost" somewhere in customs. Leading theories pin the culprit(s) as:

Sandworms
Drunken Contortionists
Yosemite Sam
Chupacabra
Rosie O'Donnell

We are still pushing to have the release of our new winter garments out this month...just in time for snow. Stay tuned here and on our web site (www.northwestriders.com) for the info.

Ninjas?...
