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.

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...

January 27, 2012

It has been a while since an update and the common cold has been working its way through the family.  Michelle and the boys have got the worst of it so far.  It has slowed me down but has not put me down.  Hopefully it won't get me completely.  It did cause Michelle to miss 2 days of work and I missed one.  We both missed Financial Peace University last night, we will have to watch the video.  It has caused me to miss some training. However, I did manage to get on the trainer 2 days this week and hopefully again tomorrow. Dad had a procedure today and all was well.  Had to get up early and pick him up.  He had the procedure at Covenant so I was able to work for a while when he was in.  We went out to lunch afterwards and then had a good visit with him and mom. This winter continues to be mild as we again are having above normal temperatures.  We had snow last night and most of it melted today.  They are call...
