Trail House

As many of you know, my journey in the bike industry started at NorCal Bike Sport, long before my time at Trail House. I’m incredibly grateful for the friendships, experiences, and amazing riding community that have been part of that journey.

As Specialized continues to simplify its business and focus on better serving riders through our local retail partners, Trail House will be closing its bike retail operations.

The good news is that the coffee shop will remain open and continue to be a gathering place for riders and the community. While Specialized will no longer be involved in its operations, we’re big supporters of the coffee shop and the community it has helped build. We hope you’ll continue to stop by, grab a coffee, and connect with friends before or after a ride.

Just as important, all of our Trail House teammates are staying with us and will be moving to NorCal Bike Sport and Bike Peddler to help strengthen those locations and continue serving our riders. You’ll see the same familiar faces, receive the same great service, and find the same passion for cycling that made Trail House special.

For me personally, I’m excited to be returning home to NorCal Bike Sport and continuing this journey alongside a great team.

While our retail footprint is changing, our commitment to the Santa Rosa cycling community isn’t. We’re simplifying how we operate so we can better support riders, invest in our teams, and deliver a stronger experience at our remaining locations.

To everyone who has supported Trail House over the years, thank you. We hope you’ll continue to enjoy the coffee shop and visit us at NorCal Bike Sport and Bike Peddler for your bikes, service, and everything cycling.
I’m looking forward to reconnecting with old friends, welcoming new ones, and seeing everyone out on the roads and trails”

Thank you 🙏. A solid group showed up last evening to cast the longest shadows, sweat it out, and climb a Trail House favorite Los Alamos. It was a perfectly warm mid October evening on the hill, and the comradarie, conversations, and appreciation were shared at the summit, and later back at Trail House 🏡. It's always special for all of us when a big group shows up to ride with us when we close. The guys always rode after work, it when we are joined by others it makes us reflect on how solid our community is, and how lucky we are to be a part of it. So with that... Thank you ❤️✌️

The final build of the Tarmac SL9 series this week is dedicated to the "Hour of Power" For many years at the shops The Bike Peddler NorCal Bike sport and Trail House we have spent our lunch hour smashing out known local loops on our road bikes ❤️. This bike is all gas ⛽️ no brakes! The SRAM Road 1x13 drivetrain keeps you honest, but also makes sure you've got a lead foot 🦶to push the 50t single front ring . Testing so far has gone well and if you see this bike and rider in the wild, just know he's got to get back to work, so try and sit on while he smashes thru the gears ⚙️ and enjoy the draft while you can 💨

Longtime friend of Trail House and experienced road rider decided to see what all the buzz was about after riding one of our demo bikes. We spent some time making things just right. From the 167.5 crankset, to the 38mm wide, 100mm length stem with a 10 degree flare, and a size smaller frame than he has ridden, this one fits him like a glove and he can attest that his average mph is up 2-4 mph over his older bike's. It wasn't a process that was rushed, we made educated decisions with our rider. We had him ride a 54cm and a 52cm. We analyzed measurements and considered all of the changes involved and built a Tarmac SL9 that fits our rider perfectly!

We've had the pleasure of building a few Tarmac SL9's up lately and this one with a full Campagnolo World Super Record groupo is really special 🇮🇹 💗. Our rider is now out laying down miles on this beautiful piece of art. Just in time for the fall 🍂 season. We've got a few more to show you this week, but let's just drool 🤤 on this one for a minute 🥰

Don't let the season pass you by.

Thursday night road ride from Trail House has been really good as the Summer shadows grow taller, and the costal influence cools the day. We roll at 5:15 sharp and aim to ride at least 30 miles. Regroups at the top of the climbs, and shared stoke, and refreshments when we get back to Trail House Café . Pace is moderate to advanced, and everyone must be self sufficient. See all of you this coming Thursday 👋🔥❤️🚴‍♂️💨

The season isn't over yet.
