MMBA Expo/January is Over!

Sunday was the annual MMBA Expo.  Raymond drove, Alexander and JJ also went with us again this year.  I didn't do as well as I had hoped.  JJ sold a few of my things so I let him keep the money.  He was pretty excited.  The boys seemed to enjoy it again and Raymond sold a lot of his old parts.  We got home and I took a little rest then Michelle and I did some work around the house.

January has been a crazy month weather wise.  Extreme cold to near record highs, rain, snow, etc. We now are into a cold front again with no snow on the ground.  The LOHS winter mountain bike race is Saturday and I plan on racing.  Not going to preregister just in case.  Really looking forward to this.  I have not done this in several years. 

The cyclocross world championships are in the US for the first time this weekend and will be broadcast live on the internet. Then the Super Bowl is on that evening.  Should be a busy weekend.

So long till the next post.

Summer Vacation: Day 10, Heading Home.

Sunday would be a long day of travel as we would make the trek home in one day.  Still shorter than driving from Marquette. We had breakfast and started to pack up.  I had put the bikes on the van Saturday evening while the grill was heating up and loaded a few things up.  We managed to get on the around just a few minutes after 12:00pm.   Michelle would take the first leg of the drive at the wheel of the van and I would rest.  We made a stop at a rest area in Manistique and I took a few photos. A lighthouse for Michelle.  A mouse in a tuxedo! We got back on the road and stopped at another rest area.   Very cool! Brendan made a friend. The were not to bad. Our next stop would be St. Ignace.  We wanted to eat at Clyde's Drive In.  However, after arriving the place was packed.  So we went to B.C. Pizza again.  After lunch we made our way to Castle Rock as we were not able to climb it on o...

Happy Labor Day!

So we had another busy week leading up to Labor Day Weekend.  On Wednesday we had Brendan's open house for 4th Grade.  We did some shopping after and I sold my Giant OCR. Giant OCR Composite 3 I bought this bike in 2005.  I put some good miles on it over the years.  For about 6 years it had been in the basement on the trainer.  I had rebuilt it this summer and took it out a couple of times.  It just seemed to big now.  I guess I am a little older and less flexible.  I decided to put it up for sale as it just did not fit any longer.  I found a nice young man that was looking for a road bike and he really liked it.  It is going to a good home and will be out on the road where it belongs. The funds from this sale went toward the purchase of a front wheel to go on the Farley and will fit the Bluto.  That wheel should be in some time this week. On Saturday morning we did not have Brendan.  He stayed at mom's with ...
