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 4: The ER

Day four started out with beautiful weather.  We had breakfast and Michelle took Brendan fishing.  I decided I would take a ride on the bike and do a little recon for a family bike ride. I set off east to ride toward Rapid River.  I rode around the the edge of the bay and took a few pictures. Dunes on the edge of Gladstone. This was around 4-5 miles out of town in a small subdivision. The photo above is of a small river I crossed, unfortunately I cannot remember the name.  I thought I found a bike trail that would be nice for all of us.  Unfortunately it was swampy and not kept up.  I headed back to Gladstone and met Michelle and Brendan out on the fishing dock. I sat with them for a while and Brendan caught this. This is a Gobi.  An invasive species of the Great Lakes. After a few minutes I started back to the house.  On the way I started to have some chest pain.  After showering it had not let up. ...

Summer Vacation: Day 8, Marquette

Day out started out cool, cloudy and windy.  It would stay like that the entire day.  After Michelle got up we took a little walk in the park by the bay.  It was very cool and returned to the house.  The plan for the day was to go to Marquette to visit Raymond and his family and have dinner with them. I received a text from Raymond that informed me the weather was not good there and it had not been for the entire week.  It had been very cold and windy.  He told me to bring warm clothes and we would probably be inside. We arrived at there location just after 3:00pm and it was cold and windy.  They told us it had been worse earlier in the day.  After talking for a while Angel started to make burgers and hot dogs on the grill.  We walked down to the beach with Raymond to discover that the beach was not really there.  The water has been so high this year and the waves were coming in so hard there was no beach.  They said they h...

May 2017

May has been an interesting month.  The downside had been having pneumonia.  That took some time to recover from.  I am back to normal and starting to ride again.  I purchased a set of Jones SG Loop H-Bar for the Vortex.  A very nice improvement to this bike. https://www.densbikepost.com/blog/  You can use the link above to see my posts on this. We had a nice Mother's day celebration with both of our mom's and Michelle. Sorry no pictures, they are still on my phone. We did not do anything for Memorial weekend.  Not completely true, we bought a pool.  It will be installed sometime in June. That pretty much covers May.  School will be out at the end of this week and Summer officially starts.
