Deconstruction Begins

As we move forward with the move, it is becoming apparent that there is more to setting up a shop than I remembered from the first time. There is also a lot more to taking one down, especioally if you plan on being open for business. You can't move everything, unless you plan on doing it all at once.

Because Bike 29 is always open, I can't do anything that will disrupt that side of the business. I still need to be able to ship, which becomes difficult if you have your inventory scattered over a three miles.


Oh well, growing pains I guess.
Now the shop is in a choatic state, which most regulars know is not that far out of the ordinary for me. I moved a couple of large non essential items, with the help of Nat and his awesome Tundra, one of the counters, the large bike rack, the kids bike rack the 3 tier presenter. The other stuff will move when we are closer to "flick the switch" so to say. There is just so much stuff!


So with all the stress of moving and trying to keep it all straight, Nat and I decided to take advantage of the 40° sunny afternoon, and we went for a grind on the bikes. We are nearing true mud season, where the roads will be really soft and gooey. I'm hoping that the worst will be over by the time the Gravel Grinder happens, but you never can tell up here. We could be riding in a blizzard!

The wool jersey is awesome BTW! I wore that with a vest and was at the perfect temperature during the ride, in spite of the freezing cold mud that splashed up.

You can still sign up for what will most surely be the most fun you'll have on a bike in April. Proceeds are going to help maintian the Perry Hill Trail system. These trails see a lot of use, and there are a dedicated group of folks that take care of those trails all summer. They need your support!
