Debra has been training for the last 10 years. In 2017, she became an ACE Certified Personal Trainer. She has made it her mission to help others be fit and healthy. Passionate about what she does, Debra will motivate you by setting goals and providing feedback and accountability to you, as her client. She makes working out fun yet challenging.
“I have walked the path back to health. Knowing what your client is going through is key to success! Let’s ignite your inner fuse and begin the path to improved health,” states Debra.
Debra has also been belly dancing since 2010, and currently performs with and teaches at One Spirit Dance and Fitness in Pinckney. As part of the Professional Troupe, Intermediate Troupe and Fire Troupe, she is instrumental in writing combinations and co-creating choreography.
And did you know?
We’ve been bringing to life a specially dedicated rental space in Hometown Bicycles’ back room – a Hometown Business Incubator, where fledgling business owners can turn their visions into reality. This space is designed to give entrepreneurs a resource-rich home base to launch their businesses, build a following, and get a taste of leasing without overwhelming costs or lengthy commitments.
Lake Trust Credit Union has enthusiastically stepped into the role of Incubator Title Sponsor. In this role, they will not only generously subsidize the first month’s rent for our first 12 Incubator entrepreneurs*, but will also share a wealth of resources and insights at our entrepreneurship events and programs. Nicole Dietrich will join us TONIGHT to talk about the importance of building a network and share information about Lake Trust’s Micro-Loan program!
* Contact Dawn at office@myhometownbicycles.com for details about the Hometown Business Incubator and Lake Trust Credit Union’s amazing Sponsor subsidy.

Riding for Cancer Awareness…
The 3rd Annual EFF Cancer ride took place on Saturday, August 17th to honor those who are battling or have battled cancer.
Approximately 70 cyclists showed their support, with many dedicating the ride to someone.
Hometownies Colin and Cindy Chisholm organize the event each year.
“I can tell you that the vibe was phenomenal,” says Colin. “Everyone was touched. So many people took me and Cindy aside to thank us and tell us their story, and they shared their story with others too.”
It’s amazing what Hometownies are doing out in the community! It makes us proud!
Monkey Loob and Hometown!
On Wednesday, August 14th, Monkey Loob inventor and owner, Lyndsay Stiles, spent the evening at Hometown!
She joined in our Gravel Grinder shop ride for 13 glorious miles of rough road riding, and then everyone regrouped at the shop for a Monkey Loob demonstration and informational session.
We had an amazing turnout, and everyone got to witness firsthand what a kick-arse cyclist Lyndsay is… and learn why Hometown Bicycles is mad about Monkey Loob!! Thank you, Lyndsay, for sharing your time and knowledge with us!
