Still, made it home safe and tired but home! Travelled back from Denver with Tyler and Chad who had journeyed to SoCal to test ride some new Trek Stuff on hill climbs and descents! Temps in the 70's and 80's and they report that the ride is incredible! New stuff from Trek...this will be pretty fun!
I liked Houston, but loved San Antonio and Austin. Could definitely spend a lot of time in both of those cities. S.A. is a bit more of a city whereas Austin is a little bit Madison, but a whole lot bigger. Sixth Street in Austin, is incredible and it would be great to get back down there again sometime but I will need to take the next day off!
Visited Bike Barn and Bicycle Sport Shop for the first time this week and both were incredible...each in their own different way. I guess you can say that they have fine tuned their business to their locale! Makes sense, doesn't it?
What this picture of BSS does not show is their coffee bar where Amy made me the best smoothie I have ever had. It was her signature drink and it was incredible! I then met Emily, a runner from Kansas, who made me the best espresso I have had in a long, long time! Great location and just an awesome town.
Meeting with Cindi at Bike World yielded dinner at their place and prepared by Whit himself. It was something else. What I loved about it was we were just a bunch of people sitting around being ourselves. It was a unique evening and I need to come up with some way to thank them both for their hospitality!
Oh, BTW, deziels salad dressing was pretty darn good! Need to get the recipe!
My role at Trek has really become FUN!!! and this is truly living the dream. It was interesting to listen to Brian Deziel...a true rock star...say he was living the dream when ever people asked how he was doing! This is really fun stuff...please pinch me! Is a dream?
Next week, it is off to RBC in Rockford...hopefully a stop in Chicago and then on to Battle Creek for the Team Active EOW (End of Winter) Sale.
2007 is starting to ramp up and it sure looks like this is going to be a VERY, VERY interesting year!
As I sign off for the night, I just thought that I would put a pic of the type of weather that I left today down in Houston. Do not look at the planes but pay attention to the sky. Blue and there is sunshine! Good night!
