Bicycle Ranch
Bicycle Ranch has been a stable of the bicycling community in Scottsdale for the last 15 years. The motto and backbone of the shop from day one has been "Service without Compromise" and that tradition and excellence continues today. Bicycle Ranch acquired new ownership in 2008 after a decade of great commitment from Glen Hinshaw. The Zimmer and Peshek families took over the tradition and look forward to serving the bicycle community of Scottsdale and all of Arizona for years to come. Markus Zimmer and Andy Peshek have been long standing clients of Bicycle Ranch. When the opportunity arose to purchase Bicycle Ranch, both Markus and Andy knew they could not let the chance get away. Markus and his wife Terri along with Andy and his wife Kim are neighbors who wanted to see the great tradition of Bicycle Ranch live on. Bicycle Ranch has succeeded for the last fifteen years because it truly does fulfill its promise of "Service without Compromise". As you will glean from other aspects of this website, our customer service on the floor is only a part of our commitment. Chris Pulleyn in the fitting studio has studied and performed fittings all over the country. He has been written up nationally on many occasions for his excellence. Additionally, our service department is also second to none. Rob, Scott and Jon have been a stable of the service department and have more than a decade of experience in making sure you get the best service possible. Almost every bicycle shop you enter has product and somebody who can sell. That is not our priority at Bicycle Ranch. We want you to come in, feel welcome and feel comfortable about potential purchases you may make. Every customer is a priority to us even if you simply are coming in for a cup of coffee and a good chat about the last ride. We care about our customers and want to know what is happening in their lives both on and off the bike. We are locals who care about the industry and the people we serve. Markus, Andy and everybody at Bicycle Ranch not only want every experience you have at Bicycle Ranch to be the best possible, but every ride as well. If there ever is anything you think we can do to improve our shop, our service or our commitment to you, the customer, please let us know. We are here to serve you and make sure every riding experience you have is the best possible.

GETTING STARTED Five Easy Steps to Customize Your Own Drink Getting started with INFINIT is quick and, well, pretty simple. Take just a minute or two to read through the steps below, then visit our homepage to adjust your slider preferences, save your choices, and checkout. If you have questions, please don't hesistate to drop us a note at info@infinitnutrition.com. Set Flavor Level - INFINIT is formulated to be just right during exercise. Unlike other sports drinks it is designed to taste great hour after hour. Other sports drinks are too strong and are almost unpalatable after an hour or so. Our flavor levels are already toned down, so keep that in mind when you choose you flavor level. Choose Your Carbohydrate Blend - INFINIT gives you the power to choose the ratio of fast absorbing glucose versus slower burning maltodextrine. By moving the slider, you can create a custom mix of carbs that meets your activity perfectly. Tell Us How Many Calories Per Serving You Need - The rule of thumb is 2 calories per pound of lean body weight. So to figure out the number of calories you need just take your total weight, subtract body fat and then multiply by two. Example: Male weighting 200 lbs with 20% body fat = 160 pounds lean body weight 160 x 2 = 320 calories. It's that simple to create a drink with the EXACT number of calories that matches your body size. Adjust Your Electrolyte Level - Heavy sweaters that have serious problems with muscle cramping should position their slider setting to the higher side. - Heavy sweaters with occasional cramping should be in the mid range. - Medium sweaters with frequent cramping should be in the mid to higher ranges. - Medium sweaters with occasional cramping should be in the medium-to-medium low range. - Light sweaters with frequent cramping should be in the mid range. - Light sweaters with occasional cramping should set their levels to the medium low. - Light sweaters with little to no cramping should be in the lower ranges. Caffeine - Caffeine should ONLY be used after you have tested it in training because it can lead to stomach distress in some athletes. You should always consult your physician when using any stimulant. Caffeine is a proven USOC legal performance booster that has been shown to help the body to burn calories. Keep in mind that caffeine does have a somewhat bitter taste so it will affect the taste of your custom formulation, a little goes a long way. Standard dosing for most athletes is between 50mg (one cup of strong coffee) and 200mg (four cups of strong coffee) per serving. Many advanced athletes will use some caffeine during the latter stages of a long race for a performance boost and to help your body burn fat stores after glycogen.

Road Runner Sports
In September, 1983, Michael Gotfredson, fondly referred to as Mike G. or Chief Runner, founded Road Runner Sports to provide sports minded people like you with an alternative; the ability to buy quality fitness products at great prices. Back then, Road Runner Sports was just a garage space in Del Mar, California and on the first day of business, the lone employee took seven orders. Each order was taken by hand on credit card forms, individually phoned in for authorization and shipped out with handwritten mailing labels. Checking inventory required the sales representative to open the warehouse door and ask, "Do we have any Excalibur size 9?" When a shipment of shoes arrived, all work stopped. The entire company went out to check in the 100 or so pairs of shoes and process the orders. From the beginning, the importance of teamwork played an essential role in RRS' growth and success. Over twenty years later, RRS can attribute its successes to the special one-on-one relationship it enjoys with you, the customer. That relationship has flourished because our employees (now over 300!) make the most of every opportunity to interact with you. Each and every order taken & shipped, product selected for the catalog, website, retail store, catalog mailed, and more are opportunities to establish and develop a personal relationship with you. From the garage in Del Mar not so long ago, RRS now has corporate and distribution headquarters in San Diego, California. Additionally, San Diego has a retail store as does Scottsdale, Tempe, Seattle, Washington, Anaheim, California and San Carlos, California with more on the way. Road Runner Sports' size and locations may have changed, but the one thing that remains constant is our commitment to you, our customers, and your passion for running and fitness.
