Hello, My name is Claudia Woods. I was born in Dallas, Texas and attended Mountain View Junior College where I received an Associate Degree in Business. Mark and I have been married for 28 years and have been blessed with a daughter, Cayce who is 25 and a son, Paul who is 22. We moved to New Braunfels 3 years ago and just love it here. Now that our children are grown I have time to come help out at Woods Cycle Country. We have a great group of people to help you with your riding needs.

Thanks for taking the time out to visit the employee page of our website. For those of you who want to know a little about me, here goes: I was born in England (just north of London) and I have lived all over the world. I graduated from High School in Lumberton, Texas and 6 days later shipped off to Basic Training at Fort Leonard Wood. I traveled all over the world with the Army (including 9 months with the 1st Armored Division in Southeast Asia during operation Desert Storm). I finished my military service on a Monday in 1993 and started work at a small motorcycle dealership located just outside of Fort Hood on a Tuesday. At this point, the industry is all I know. Over the last 18 years I have worked at one of the largest multi-line dealerships in the United States, the second Honda Powerhouse dealership (Honda of Houston) in the nation, and I worked for a corporation that owned 17 dealerships across the country (America's PowerSports). While Woods Cycle Country is not one of the mega flashy dealerships that are all the rage right now, our modest dealership allows us to keep our overhead low, and we pass those savings on to our customers.

If you have a question, feel free to ask and I will be happy to tell you what I think. We look forward to seeing you in our dealership sometime soon.

Hablo español. I have been with Woods Cycle Country for 5 years now. I enjoy what I do and the people with whom I work. I really enjoy coming to work, meeting new people, and helping them to find the right vehicle for their needs. I was born here in New Braunfels, TX, and lived here all of my life. I got my start in sales at Bluebonnet Ford. I spend my weekends riding my Victory motorcycle or spending time with family and friends. I have a great wife and 2 wonderful little boys (Ethan and River) and a new daughter, Shelby. I can't wait for you to come in to Woods Cycle Country! Let me help you find the perfect toy. I promise that you will not be disappointed and I cannot wait to meet you.

Motorcycles are my passion. I've been riding street bikes for seventeen years now, and dirt bikes since I was big enough to climb up on a hay bale so I could throw my leg over a motorcycle seat. I have have worked in the power sports industry for about seven years. I'm one of those people who loves what they do: getting up and going to work, hanging out around motorcycles, and talking to people about bikes. Life is good.

Hi! I have been with Woods Cycle Country since April 2006. I am fairly new to the motorcycle business, but I have been in the automotive retail industry for 23 years (including World Car here in New Braunfels). Even though I am new to the motorcycle business, my husband has been a rider for years. I have been married for 26 years to an incredible man and have one son, Richard, who is 25. This is great place to work and a fantastic place to shop and visit. It’s never been so easy for me to get up and drive into work. We're like a big family here. If you have any questions then stop by the office or just pop in to say “hi”.

Hello, I have been at Woods Cycle Country now for a little over two years. I must say I enjoy working here at Woods as well as the people I work with. In my spare time you can usually find me wakeboarding out on the lake or working on my super-sized Ford F-350 (you will know I am at work if the monster truck is parked out front). I also own a Yamaha Zuma scooter and a Yamaha Grizzly ATV. Come down to see me and let me find the right machine for you.

Hi, I'm Dan. Thanks for visiting our site on the Web. I have worked in the recreational industry for the last 3 years, and before that I was an A.S.E. certified automotive technician (for 13 years). My primary job at the dealership is taking care of incoming parts calls and making sure we get the parts you need. With thousands of different models out there it can be a challenge. Between calls I take care of all the shipping and receiving. If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call at (830) 606-9828 or e-mail me at the address listed above.

Justin Tindall
Sales Associate
Hey, my name is Justin and I've been working here for about 5 years now. I started out working in service, then moved to parts, and now found my calling in the sales department. I was born and raised here in New Braunfels where you can find me out on the track riding my Yamaha YZ250F in my spare time (or taking some classes at Texas State University in San Marcos). I enjoy working in the motorcycle industry because it is a fun and laid-back environment. If you’re in the market for a vehicle that will add excitement to your life, come see me and I will make sure we find the right one for you.

Born and raised on the east coast, I came to Texas in 1975 by way of Houston. I met my husband of 30 years in Houston. We moved to Martindale in 1980 and are still in the same location. I came to Woods Cycle Country in November of 2007. I’ve worked at several other places and must admit that I enjoy coming to the office everyday here at Wood’s Cycle Country. Since I work in the office I don’t get to meet most of you but I know your name. Drop by the office and say hello when you visit us.

Thanks for taking the time to visit our website. I'm Eddie "the Aztec Warrior" Juarez, but I do have many names, so what ever you feel like calling me I'll try to answer to it. I have been with Woods Cycle Country for about 1 1/2 years. I started as a service adviser, but now I'm in parts and accessories as my second language was needed more at the parts counter. I lived in Michoacan, Mexico for about 10 years, then I lived in my little hometown of Crossett, AR for about 7-8 years. I Joined the military and moved around to where the Army needed me. I really love this place; it's a great and fun job here. I love to help people as much as I can and if I don't have an answer I will find it and get back at you. So stop on by and look at the great selection of motorcycles, ATVs, and UTVs we have in stock and the great accessories we have for them. Thanks for your time and come see us.

Hello. My name is Stephen Laurence and I do a little bit of everything in the parts and accessories department. I make auctions for our inventory online (usually using eBay), so you can find some great deals there. I just graduated with a degree in Philosophy from Texas State University and I'd love to talk about anything from motorsports to predicational paradox and from ethics to combustion chambers. Give me a shout if you need anything for your bikes, ATV's, or UTV's.

Hello! My name is Bonnie Garrett and I am the new receptionist (as of May 2009) at Woods Cycle Country. I grew up in Dripping Springs and I now live in San Marcos while I attend Texas State University. Before Woods Cycle Country I didn't know anything about motorcycles, ATVs, or watercrafts, but after working here for only a month I have already learned so much about everything! The staff and the customers are so friendly that I actually enjoy coming to work everyday! Whenever you dial the number to Woods Cycle Country I'll be the voice on the other line and I'll make sure you talk to the right person to answer all of your questions!

Hi, I'm Casey. I was born in Corpus Christi, TX and I moved to San Antonio in 1998. I graduated from Boerne High School in 2003. I learned most of what I know about mechanics from my dad and I assembled my first motor with him at 11 years old. I attended WyoTech in Daytona Beach in 2006 and graduated top of my class in 2007. I have worked in this industry for over a year now and love every minute of it. I avidly watch Moto GP and attended the 2008 US Grand Prix at Laguna Seca in Monterey, California and got to meet Valentio Rossi, Dani Padrosa, and Casey Stoner. I love road racing and sport bikes are my area of expertise. I currently live in New Braunfels and I’d be happy to help you with anything you need when you stop by Woods.
