EXPO 2014

Sunday morning came very early and JJ and I were both up and on our way to Birch Run to meet Raymond and Alexander.  We found them at McDonald's, had a quick breakfast and we were on our way to East Lansing.  Somewhere around Flint we started to see snow and it got pretty heavy by the time we got to East Lansing.  We arrived at MSU with time to spare and were able to drive in to the arena, unload and leave the van inside!

We had plenty of time to set up and they even gave us an extra table.  We had everything up and ready with time to spare.
Don and Cory arrived early.
 
This had to be the smallest expo ever.  Not sure how much the weather had to do with it?  But Don walked out empty handed, which is very unusual.  There were only a handful of bike shops present also. There were a few Fat Bikes on display.
 
KHS Four Season

Specialized Fatboy

Charge Cooker
 
I bought a pair of bib shorts and a couple tubes from Raymond and sold most of my big ticket items.  So I have enough to buy the Bikes Direct Fat Bike or I can wait till payday and go for the Framed Fat Bike.  I will be depositing my money today and making a decision in the next couple days.
 
We stopped at the City Limits bowling alley, bar and grill.  If you are in this area I would highly recommend this place.  Very good menu and great food.  Also and excellent draft beer selection.
 
The drive home wasn't to bad.  It snowed the whole time and the road was slippery.  We got home and I laid down with Michelle for a short nap which ended up being two hours. We did manage to get the Christmas tree down and do an hour on the trainer.  So a good evening.
 
This may be my last EXPO as a seller.  Not much left in the inventory and not sure it is worth getting a table?
 
Next post will be later this week on my Fat Bike selection.  See you then.

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...

End of Summer

The Best Time to Bike! On Saturday I traveled with Raymond to the Bear Claw Epic.  This was the second annual race and the second time up there for Raymond and I.  We got there with plenty of time to spare and got ready to go. Farley ready to go. I registered for Beginner Fat Bike or at least I thought so?  I felt pretty good and knowing that I only had one lap to do I went all out.  I passed several riders through the race and felt I did pretty good.  This course has a lot of climbing and rewards you with some nice downhills. After I finished my race I put on a fresh shirt and went out on the course with the camera and my new lens.  I took over 400 pictures and headed back to the start finish after Raymond finished his race. Raymond on his second lap. And the final climb. The beginner awards were going on and they announced my name as first place for Beginner Men 50-59.  I was surprised, but did not protest.  Aft...
