I may be jumping the gun a little bit, but I would like to take a
clinc or class that teaches BASIC repairs and tuning before the
season begins. I do quite a bit of riding by myself in the early
morning and would like to be able to handle any emergency repairs.
Does anyone know of any place in the Nashua, NH area which offers a
clinic or course like this?
Thanks.
Ellen

| 992.1 | Possibly Sunshine Sports | MAMIE::MJACKSON | Fri Feb 10 1989 19:36 | 5 | |
Sunshine Sports on the DW Highway (across from the Pheasant Lane
Mall) used to offer classes a couple of years ago. It might be
worth a call. You may also give Goodale's bike shop a call to see
if they know of any possible classes.
