just some random stuff...

I am happy Joey is here. She helps me AND she cleans the shop. Props!

I jacked up my knee playing hockey 2 Wednesdays ago. It still hurts. I hadnt been riding because of it, but am going to try after I leave the shop today.

For some unknown reason, my twitter account wont work. wth?

Jason Lytle's new cd sounds so much like his former band Grandaddy. So much so, he should get the band back together.

I bought a USACycling license. I am a Category 5. Ouch.

Last night, Brooke Crum won her first race on the track bike I made her. Congrats Brooke!

Thats all I got for now...

Meet Joey!

The search for a new apprentice has ended. "Joey" Brown has come into the shop to learn about all things bicycle. She comes from an art/sculpture and furniture background and I am excited to have this self starter in the shop. She made it through her first week at the shop, so thats a good sign...

She is seen here cleaning a 1960s Hercules 3 speed bicycle in for a tune up.

Brilliant!

Ok, so I am hearing thru the grapevine that Indy's Major Taylor Velodrome just lost Masters Nationals. I am hearing that the change in admin at Indy Parks Dept. was kind of a factor, since the new admin didnt have the money to spend to host Masters Track Nationals. I'm no rocket scientist, but why would you bid to host Nationals when you don't have the money in the budget or at least in an escrow account? Why does this matter? I brought NAHBS to Indy and it was a tough sell to my exhibitors, but most of them came. The one's that didnt said there was no cycling culture here. The only thing is that now Indy Parks, in their infinite wisdom just undid what I had accomplished, the masses thinking Indy is a great cycling destination. Thank you Indy Parks! Dumbasses. Done ranting. DW
