Val Kleitz has made a mark

Hucker AJ — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 00:00:02 +0000

This week the NW has lost one of its most original and dedicated bike guru’s. Val Kleitz was a bicycle lover who would rather spend an hour fixing something on your bike that 5 minutes throwing on a new part. He could make your bike sing and your pedals zing. He had a shop for years on 45th near Wallingford called Bikesmith. I knew him after that shop while he worked for S.B.S. and Aaron’s. He would ride his near 100lb Xtracycle from Renton to Kent during the weekdays and West Seattle on Sundays to help out at Aaron’s. You might have noticed him with his Indiana Jones hat, buccaneer boots, gauntlet gloves and Rollie Fingers mustache. He taught me plenty about bikes and life. Unfortunately he passed away this last Wednesday after fighting cancer for almost two years. He will be missed by the bicycle world and here at g.h.y bikes. I hope he is riding the most amazing rides and has his happy smile….I can imagine nothing less.

These are sweet skin walled tires that remind me of the 80′s. I put a pair aside for myself. I know that the boys at the Jungle Trails love these tires. Check em.

We work on everything

Heres an example of someone who can fix it on the trail. We fix stuff in the shop the right way!

So woke up at 5am on Saturday to go pick up Travis Erickson and head to Dry Hill in Port Angele’s, Washington.

We arrived to PA at 9 am and Travis began to practice. As I hiked the mountain to find decent spots to shoot at, I walked some of the side trails. Wow, the other trails I saw were amazing and looked like so much fun to ride. So back to the racing, I ran into Travis mid course after one of the Keifer guys had broken his collar bone on a tree that stuck out into the course. Travis had also blown up from this same tree, and some others. All in all people were looking fast on this dry dusty course,really fast. After watching the pros some time later in the day, I decided where I would shoot Sunday. After practice we headed to the Elwha river to cool off and then set up camp. After the river we set up camp at the Elwha River RV Park (www.elwhadamrvpark.com). What a cool place to camp, the owners were very nice and hospitable. The camp sites were nice and clean, even had a commons type outdoor kitchen/ BBQ pit. After setting up we headed back to Dry Hill for the Spaghetti feast! Casey, Scott and all the others that put on a race also feed us. Free food and lots of it, thank you guys again for that! So finally it was time to go get some rest, every one was beat from getting up early and riding all day. Around dusk our group headed to the fire pit, for more beers and laughs. What a fun night 20 or so people makes for a good fire. Around 1230 it was finally silent in the campgrounds. Woke about 7am got some coffee and headed back to dry hill. Everyone got ONE practice run today, apparently some people like to poach and get in more then the competitions’ practice amount. The racing was over about 2:30 and I am pretty sure I got a shot of every single rider. All in all a great weekend and another great race put on by the NW cup!
