Bikes Belong Coalition

Yesterday was a pretty busy day for me, running around taking care of paperwork, reports, deposits, recaps, etc...
But MR. Shimano called me up because he just happened to be in Boulder, CO the same time as myself.
We met up for coffee off of Pearl St.  The reason behind that was to meet a good friend of his Tim Blumenthal.  Tim is the Executive Director for Bike Belong Coalition.  They have a beautiful mission and their goals will match anyone who is already a cyclist!
MR. Shimano also hooked me up with a Shimano calendar, he told me that he only brings about 150 to the states for friends and family, so to say that I feel privileged would be an understatement!
Bike Coalition also hooked me up with some swag!

I am at my hotel right now with the maids banging at my door! So I will probably hang around town for a bit, and then take off to San Diego, Cali.  I hope the weather is perfect to run a full Marathon this weekend!

Carlsbad 5000

I am finished this weekend with the Carlsbad 5000.  It was a pretty fun run, but just like any race I found it still challenging even though it was only a 5k.  I finished with 25:09... I would have known it was going to be the 09 I probably would have run a little faster to get a 24:59 haha :)  Samething, but it just sounds nicer!



While doing some exploring here in Cali I found this small but nice trail.  While i was there I got this shot of a Bluejay,
 
This picture is ONLY funny cause he actually tried to poop on me :(



Apparently it is still Spring Break in california and the cheapest rental they had was this car.  The car was new with only about 3,000 miles  on it.  The prob was toting peeps around and it had NO power windows, and NO power locks.  It is funny that it didn't have power locks and I had to literally reach over to every door to unlock it just to let people in.
Just to show how spoiled we are in todays society, every time we went somewhere people kept leaving the doors unlocked!
