[SDCBC] Do it yourself? Re: Need bike shop recommendation

Wed Jun 18 12:34:28 EDT 2008

Your reply came to me, alone, I believe.

I thought the original e-mail came from Jaime, and that Jaime described several areas of the County.

I was hoping that he/she would be more specific, allowing us to make recommendations of a convenient shop.

I happen to know, and happen to like Black Mtn Bikes, too, and -- if it were really along his/her intended route -- would have recommended it
