Anyone know of a tri-friendly shop in or around AC that would cater to triathletes for the Challenge race??
Beacon Cyclery is named in the athlete guide as the “official bike shop of CAC.” I don’t know anything about them, though.
Beacon is a big store and I’ve picked up race packets there before.
Think Beacon is only real shop in general AC area. Most the shops are the beach type shops, with cruisers and rentals. Beacon is a nice shop, Trek dealer, back in 2011 was driving thru the area, stopped in to browse. Saw my first Speed Concept there. It was real early, I had one on order, didn’t get mine til 2 months after seing one there.

Beacon is the top shop in the area but also AAAAbikeshop is a good local shop with good mechanics.
I’ll also be there, so yell if you need something.

in Ventnor (next to AC) one of the better (only) ones down there. definitely have some tri bike knowledge. but still majority is “beach” bikes.
AAAA Bike Shop in Ventnor is the closest bike shop to the race course and your best bet. The owner Mike is a gentleman and the mechanic John is the best in the area. Don’t trust your bike to anyone else.
I go to Beacon’s other location in Freehold. Great store. Bought my bike there.
no disrespect to the guys at 4A, but there is no better mechanic than Marco at beacon. its not even close. and this is coming from someone who hates beacon otherwise…
I agree Marco is awesome mechanic. Too bad he is stuck at beacon. They are not really a tri shop.
