Waiting

Solvang is only a few weeks away and I am getting impatient - yearning for the sun and warmth of SoCal. The weather has been cooperating but not stellar. For the most part it has been dry but the rain is coming. Saturday was a nice ride out to Hagg Lake with OB12OLD. Nothing too fast just base miles and higher cadence spinning. Saturday's ride will hopefully be longer than a three hour tour but we'll have to wait and see how the weather holds up. There is only two more Saturday's for me to get in long rides before Solvang. The legs feel solid but is always nice to get in a few long rides to build confidence.

I spent Wednesday at the Portland Expo Center working a booth at a home show. The show has plenty of exhibits, filling three large expo halls but the number of people who came out were minimal. I was surprised to see so few but it is just a sign of the economic times. Our dealers have a great showing at the home show so we'll see how and if this gives our business a bump.

The Amgen Tour of California has been great! The weather has finally started to cooperate. Tomorrow, they ride in Solvang. I have done the time trial route a few times and look forward to some familiar territory. It will only make the waiting more difficult.

I just wanted to send a shout out to JD. He snapped a picture of me out on a fun with a few friends at the AToC. Check it out:
