Here Comes the Sun

Is the sun setting on the old Trek 6700? I stripped it down, removing the air pump, saddle bag and accessories, to be carried on my person when needed. Front fork maintenance? What’s that? It ran fine over the trails these many long years, but it wont see anymore racing. From this year it will be my official getting around bike, cheap enough now to be locked up at a bike rack. Sure I’ll be fun’n on the trails but it’ll take many a lost pound and a new bike to get back to racing.

Always looking to keep my readers informed, one of the best lakefront events of the season is just around the corner; The Milwaukee Air and Water Show. Reserved seating is available for purchase. It’s what keeps the event alive. Plenty of stands and vendors lining Lincoln Memorial Drive. That’s June 21st &22nd from 10:00 to 16:00. The Blue Angels will be there. It is a great time on the lake. The best part is it is a beautiful ride there and all the way down to thye lake. the Hank Aaron Trail and Canal Street are a convenient bicycle corridor. Plenty of time to make your plans. …You’re welcome.

I almost got out on the trails yesterday for the first time this year, and the day before that was the Odd Tuesday Ride with Metro Mountain Bikers. Couldn’t make it. Yard work and spring cleaning, isn’t the weather great now, along with my writing goals kept me occupied and away from the trails.

I know what you are all wondering. I have left you all in unwarranted suspense. “Did you take first and win the trophy in your bowling league? Tell us. Tell us!”

OK. I’ll tell you. They didn’t award trophies for first place, they awarded plaques.

The sun draws me outdoors. It isn’t the time of year to be indoors bowling or watching TV, though it happens. I heard that the variety show is trying to make a comeback on television. If that is even remotely possible I have only three word’s; The Band Perry. The only act in entertainment today that says family. And our country really needs family and the values that come with them. We loved their performance in that show for the troops the Country Music Academy put on. I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day. Our weekend is booked with friends and family. I will be grilling on Monday.

You can take any worn out old American flags to North Shore Bank and they will send them to management which will have them disposed of properly.
