It Has Been A While

As the title says it has been some time since my last post here.  I have been very busy with work and bringing my website on line.  You can visit the website here: http://www.densbikepost.com/

We had a weather warm up in January and the USA Cycling Fat Bike Nationals were being held in Grand Rapids on January 28, 2017.  The race was going to take place even if the weather did not cooperate.  It did cool down and there was a dusting of snow.

I came down with a cold two days before the race.  Fortunately I was not planning on racing and only doing photography.  With the help of some cold medicine and warm clothes I was able to get some photos.  

Pro Men Start

We left after the Pro Race and spent the afternoon at Dave and Buster's.  That was a lot of fun.  The next day was the Michigan State Championship Fat Bike race.  I was up early again to support Raymond in his race and also to take some photos.  Raymond won the State Championship for his age group.

Shortly after this I decided to to do the Barry-Roubaix again.

This will be my third time at this race and I will be doing the 22 mile race in the Fat Bike class.  I have been training for a couple weeks now.  I doubt I will be in the top of the class, just want to finish under an hour and forty five minutes.  The race is now just three weeks away.

Last weekend was the third annual Endurance Sports Swap Meet.  Raymond and I again got 4 tables and were there early to set up.  Things were looking good as I had one of my tables paid for before the meet even started.  I ended up doing very well.

My tables were loaded and ready to go.

Great pizza for lunch!

Having done well at the Swap Meet I was able to purchase something I have wanted to pick up for a while.

Prestaflator Pro.

Heads for Presta and Schrader valves. Also low pressure head.

I used it this weekend to change out tires on the Farley.  It works great.  This will see a lot of use.

That is the highlights of what has been going on since the start of January.
