Baron & Cecile are having trouble joining the CR list (!?) so Cecile sent me a nice note (below)
While I will not get out there for their opening celebration, I am soliciting one of you CR folk to do a photo report.. Pics of exterior, people at the opening, cool parts, etc. Can someone volunteer for this fun assignment?
<< We also wanted to let you know that we are finally opening our retail vintage store May 14 (Mother's Day) in Santa Barbara, CA. If we aren't able to hook up with the CR list soon, maybe you or I can ask somebody else to let the CR members know.
We will have a ribbon cutting by a council member at 1.00 pm and serve coffee. The coffee theme is staying with us as we are calling it -- Cafe de Velo--. As Baron said it will be a great place (he loves to talk right?) where we will have complimentary coffee and other drinks etc for sale for cyclists to enjoy. There will be lots of bistro tables, chairs and umbrellas in- and outdoors to hang out at and enjoy the beautiful climate in Santa Barbara while talking all cycling. Since we are still busy with our online sales and incoming containers, we will only be open: Wednesday 12 -5, Friday 10 - 6, Sat 10 - 6, Sunday 11 - 5.
We're still working on the place and are looking for some help! Someone who loves and knows all vintage! Maybe you can spread the word around as well as the CR list seems to be a good place to let people know. Now all we have to do is for you to come visit us and us to join the Cirque du Cyclisme so we can finally meet! Renaissance The address is :
Cafe de Velo 615 E. Gutierrez Santa Barbara, CA 93103
tel: (805) 966 6510
Many people have been asking over the years when this will be happening and I'm happy to let them know we will finally be more accessible.
Best regards, Cecile >>
