Tomorrow is the Michigan Bicycle EXPO, formerly the Michigan Mountain Bike EXPO. I have all my stuff together and ready to go. I have my price list set and tables reserved. JJ and I will be meeting Raymond and Alexander in Birch Run. Then off to Michigan State University. I will post tomorrow on how it went.
If I sell enough at the EXPO I will be buying my Fat Bike next week. I have it narrowed down to a Motobecane through BikesDirect or a Framed from the House Outdoor Gear. The Motobecane is a little less and the Framed comes with an extra set of wheels. The Framed also has 170 rear spacing which is a plus. How much I make tomorrow will determine what I get.
The other day someone that works with my wife stopped me and asked me if I was interested in an old road bike he had hanging in his garage. The answer obviously was yes! He brought it in the next day and I loaded it in the van.

Panasonic road bike.
The bike was made by Panasonic in the 80's and featured some of Shimano's first indexed shifting. I am not sure exactly what year it is, but it is in very good shape! The only things not original on it are the seat and tires. I will be tearing into it soon and this will be my bad weather Gravel Bike. I will update when I start working on it.
I also have an old Schwinn setting in the basement that my brother in law gave me. It needs a lot of work and will be a long term project. This one will need to be sandblasted and painted. Which will be nice as I am going to receive and air compressor that belonged to my wife's grandfather.
Training is going good. Michelle and I have been on the trainers 3-4 days a week and also doing some weight training. I was hoping to do the Lake Orion High School winter race next week, but I think the weather we are having will keep me inside. If I get my Fat Bike in time I may get to do one of the last Fat Bike races and my big target for the spring will be the Lowell 50 Gravel race. I will more than likely do the 34 mile race. Plenty of time to figure that one out.
Time to get on the trainer!
