Nice to get away for a few days and even nicer to be pleasantly surprised by all the friendly networking, fantastic seminars, and vendor dealings. We still can't get over how friendly everyone was! From the MN locals to the bike shop owners from around the country, everyone was more than thrilled to hang out, talk, share tips and information. We were feeling the love!<br /><div><br /><div>(Pictured L-R: Chris -Bicycle Sport Shop, Austin TX; Jay -Mock Orange Bikes, Ashville NC; Jonathan-Family Bike Shop, Crofton, MD) </div><br /><div></div><div>Jonathan and I took several course seminars on Friday lead by fantastic speakers who actually work in the industry and had something worthwhile to relate. We actually were able to walk away with several ideas on how to grow our business, some of which we have already started on! We made a to-do list on the airplane ride home.... two pages long!</div><br /><div>We partied that Friday night with the local cyclists and visiting shop owners at <a href="http://www.oneononebike.com/">One On One </a>Cycles. With a few inches of freshly fallen snow on the ground, they opened the shop up 'till all hours of the night with free beer, great conversation and bicycle eye-candy. This place is one-of-a-kind. It has a full coffee bar, cycling-related art on the walls for sale, heads of various hunted <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsTGkRaf_GsVOnkdi0lK2u2q0NufEtnyMg0isc9euOvGNvDchgMsml7mUTKVqPqFgVBM373vmAIm3xE7yP2J5SdV00Ft4tlEYH-uenCtWiN0D_1P-CCgJi1IFG-bMWloA5v19NEA/s1600-h/bianchi.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308394427312224290" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsTGkRaf_GsVOnkdi0lK2u2q0NufEtnyMg0isc9euOvGNvDchgMsml7mUTKVqPqFgVBM373vmAIm3xE7yP2J5SdV00Ft4tlEYH-uenCtWiN0D_1P-CCgJi1IFG-bMWloA5v19NEA/s320/bianchi.jpg" border="0" /></a>animals displayed on the wall, a bicycle "junkyard" in the basement (heaven for any cycling enthusiast and scrounger), and of course bike sales and service. I got to talking with the owner, Gene O., for a while and he told me some history. Among other details, he mentioned that he used to be a pro-racer for Bianchi and a Bianchi rep back in the day and therefore has a cool collection of not-for-sale Bianchi's displayed on the wall... one for each year manufactured (pictured). Apparently, Minneapolis has the 2nd most number of bicycle commuters in the nation (behind Portland). They have a really cool cycling culture there.</div><br /><div>QBP was more than hospitable providing almost every meal for us through the 4-day trip and plenty of beer and coffee. On Saturday, QBP opened up their corporate office and distribution center to us as if it was their home/banquet hall/bar! We also got to witness the infamous <a href="http://city-bikes.blogspot.com/2008/02/frostbike-eve-1-pugsley-race.html">Pugsly Races </a>where a few teams of guys, some drunk, some shirtless, race <a href="http://www.surlybikes.com/pugsley.html">Surly Pugsly </a>bikes in 10 degree weather around the QBP building and on their frozen lake. Lotsa fun.</div><br /><div>I was impressed by the QBP building itself which was built to U.S. Green Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (<a href="http://www.usgbc.org/DisplayPage.aspx?CategoryID=19">LEED</a>) standards. It inspired me to make more "green" changes in my life and at the shop. For instance, I'm going to start looking into tire recycling at the shop, as well as reusable tote bags or recycled bags instead of purchasing new ones for customers.</div><br /><div>I think that Frostbike may be an annual trip for our shop.

I finished a solid 10th place in the B Masters class for a successful end to my first cross season.<br /><br />I entered the season with 3 main goals:<br /><br />1. Have fun. -I did this in spades. From traveling with Jim, and sometimes Trevor; meeting new friends; early morning (getting up at 5am) practices with the Coppi squad; racing at a lot of cool venues; and unexpectedly winning a pie as a preem at the Rockburn Cross. I am totally hooked and can't wait for next year.<br /><br />2. Learn how to race better. -Cross is a totally different discipline than the mountain bike. There are dismounts, sand, barriers and lots of technical aspects that can take years to master. It takes practice and repetition. I feel that I have made many gains this year and hope to build on them next year.<br /><br />3. Place in the top ten in at least one race. -Well, it turns out that I did this in 5 of them. Out of 7 races, my best finish was 3rd and the worst was 20th. I only raced cyclocross twice last year and 25th was my best placing. A huge and unexpected improvement.<br /><br />I raced all but once on my Gunnar Single Speed. The one time I tried gears was a disaster. I plan on staying with the SS again next year.<br /><br />My biggest disappointments were:<br />1. My horrible performance at the Tacchino cross. After a great start I had two pretty bad crashes (with a nice bruise on my hip to show for it) and just couldn't get my head back in the game.<br />2. Missing the MABRA championship race. I was sick.

A bunch of us went out to Ski Island with the kids and played in the water and on the beach.

I had an awesome Mother's Day.... thanks Jonathan! We met my parents for brunch at <a href="http://www.stanandjoes.com/">Stan and Joe's </a>on West St. in Annapolis and then walked around Downtown by the City Dock for awhile. We both ran into many old friends, even ones from high school- wierd! After our walk we headed home... we saw Courtney and <a href="http://www.bukupower.com/">Dave</a> (reigning king of RC motors) riding on Crofton Parkway in their Family Bike Shop gear... way to represent, guys! Then I took a HEAVENLY 4 hour nap (thanks again, Jonathan). Anyone who has kids knows that naps are few and far between. I always welcome them and relish in the glory, especially when I don't have a deadline for awakening! I even put on two fans in the room for the white-noise-effect because I have a problem... if I hear one peep from the kids, Jonathan, the dogs, I will wake up even from the deepest REM sleep. Jonathan can tune-out anything. The kids can be barfing up a lung in the next room and he'll have no idea.<br /><br />Anyway, after my awesome nap Jonathan went out for a ride to try out his new fancy bike, the <a href="http://www.jamisbikes.com/usa/bikes/08_bikes/08xenithsl.html">Jamis Xenith SL</a>. He made a few changes on it, traded out the wheels for his Shimano Dura-Ace set. He thinks he has to change out the cassette again, though. A work in progress to make it "his". The thing is crazy light though... even with his Dura-Ace wheels- 15.5 lbs I think he said.<br /><br />M-Day night Jonathan's mom came over for a nice dinner then we put the kids to bed and went in the basement to watch the season finale of Survivor! I kinda hoped that Amanda would win.<br /><br />Check out some pics of us in Annapolis and then a picture of Tom the Wrench receiving his Eagle Scout award! Great Job, TOM!!!!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxQvnU-ONGbqoz8c_qdhnwOZpySVZ2mKHSyxOEtvKqjfNK7zZcn0VRuXHdq-OBH4z2RRXM37SaCGpGcaITtPigee9wgC86nNoCa_mX2nCsxTPKcsz_n0ws1PTqmZW0QP-JZbztEw/s1600-h/P5100311.JPG"></a><br /><br /><br /><p align="center">Me at City Dock<br /></p><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxQvnU-ONGbqoz8c_qdhnwOZpySVZ2mKHSyxOEtvKqjfNK7zZcn0VRuXHdq-OBH4z2RRXM37SaCGpGcaITtPigee9wgC86nNoCa_mX2nCsxTPKcsz_n0ws1PTqmZW0QP-JZbztEw/s1600-h/P5100311.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199503746995658130" style="FLOAT: right;

The long and short of it is we won our class, Single Speed 3-man team, and took 3rd overall. Our compound mates <a href="http://unholyrouleur-jim.blogspot.com/">Jim</a> and his Coppi teammates got 3rd place in the beginner 3-man class. Nice showing for a bunch of roadies that had never done a race like this.<br /><br />Lodi is a 12-hour race that starts at midnight and ends 12 hours later at noon. It's a challenging race because of the late start and sleep deprivation. We were all thankful that the rain held out this year. Lodi is always famous for having at least one downpour. <br /><br /> We all rode very strong and Tom continues to impress doing 5 laps and getting us out to an early lead that we never relinquished. Trevor, as always, rode like a locomotive turning consistant lap times over and over. And I got faster every lap finally tying Tom for fastest team lap on my fourth. <br /><br />Fastest lap of the day went to Cargo Mike racing for City Bikes with Gwadz and Jonathan. He turned 49min on his final lap. The only racer of the day to break 50 mins. That's flying. Check out <a href="http://gwadzilla.blogspot.com/">Gwadzillas</a>, site as he will definitely have some words about the weekend.<br /><br />Right now I am tired and very sore. As results and pictures start to become available I will post some more.<br /><br />JonathanFamily Bike Shophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10339877761497628320noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24025424.post-25934304643753618712008-04-12T21:13:00.003-04:002008-04-12T21:16:55.900-04:00...and Nonda goes downHere's what too much beer on the bike-n-brew gets ya...<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjawYZIliSAiBxlwtXXd9V_capIeNbpZgxMHNE4J6PJu9xdYaIgKU7nEknoiSLlAxhlZglScA3FW_XXpdGvL3hm3gpuTWwM18ZecvVwYRnxjtiajrZahi3vtxhb6jRT-OjXBGzBFQ/s1600-h/P4100145.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188532142100952258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjawYZIliSAiBxlwtXXd9V_capIeNbpZgxMHNE4J6PJu9xdYaIgKU7nEknoiSLlAxhlZglScA3FW_XXpdGvL3hm3gpuTWwM18ZecvVwYRnxjtiajrZahi3vtxhb6jRT-OjXBGzBFQ/s320/P4100145.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Nonda's not keeping the rubber side down.Family Bike Shophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10339877761497628320noreply@blogger.com1
