Ellsworth and the California Fires

We may play from different sides of the field but we are all riding brothers and I'm sure I can speak for all the Banshee riders that our thoughts go out to the Ellsworth employees and their families. We pray that they are all safe and that they haven't lost too much. For more on the fires http://www.latimes.com/

News from the EW site:

Wednesday 10/24 UPDATE: 2

The good news: All Ellsworth inventory is intact and our Manufacturing is intact and continuing to fill orders we took at InterBike, as well as standing orders. We PLAN on being able to communicate via email. We're working to restore some stop gap phone contact, but ask that you watch this website for information before making a phone call.

The Bad news: The Organic Avacado grove that houses the Sustainable Ellsworth Administrative, Design, and wharehouse has burned, and Highland Valley Road is a war zone and all electric and telephone poles, and infrastructure was destroyed.
