Many Thanks To Michigan's Finest

Thanks to all who stopped by the Salsa booth to visit and check out our goods at Ore To Shore this past weekend. It is always nice to meet folks face to face. I hope I was able to answer some of your questions.

Here are a few of my highlights from the weekend's trip.

-Kids, kids, and more kids. Ore to Shore puts on the finest kids race I've ever seen. 200-some kids from ages 16 to 5 were in the 4-mile Kid's Race. That is awesome to see as they represent the future of our sport. Let's get some more interested as well!

-Riding the Kid's Race with Jordan. It was his first race ever and after his lunchtime crash on the pavement, I was glad to see him ready and willing to take on all the other little cycling gladiators. The sand pits gave him a bit of a hard time, but he had fun and is looking forward to his next Kid's Race.

-Seeing old friends. I spent a lot of years around the race scene and don't get there much any longer. It was brilliant seeing a lot of the folks from the 'old days'. I hope it isn't as long till the next time we meet.

-Seeing a bit more of the Upper Penninsula. You folks that live there sure are lucky. Jordan and I stayed further east in Munising so we got to see some of the sweet shoreline with sandy beaches. Not too many sandy beaches on Minnesota's shore of Lake Superior so it was nice to wiggle the toes a bit.

-Hearing that Brian and Kim Eppen had won the overall event on their tandem. I've known Brian for quite a few years now. Kim not so much, but what a feat. It is impressive to say the least. Watch out all you Chequamegon riders because they are taking names, and kicking you know what.

And I could go on and on. Next year's Ore To Shore is August 12th and Salsa Cycles will be back to take part in the celebration of cycling. If you're anywhere nearby, you oughta check it out.

-Kid
