Moots Profiles
Every morning I sit at my desk picking at the emails that have sprouted overnight. My desk faces the open door of the sales floor, leading to the stairwell. Reliably, the third person to come upstairs every day is Caleb Franklin, lead finisher turned welder. Caleb is putting away his lunch for the day- which almost always includes cheese and crackers, and he’s followed by his ‘Short Tailed African Cougar Hound’ Luther –my favorite shop dog.

Matt has one big leg. What makes his big leg bigger than his regular leg is a titanium rod in his shin. You wouldn’t notice unless he pointed it out to you, but his right leg is a bit bigger than his left.
Even bigger than Matt’s right leg is his heart. A strong, honest soul, he’s one of those people that can disagree without hurting anyone’s feelings.

Dave and I share milk. He typically beats me to work by at least a couple of minutes, and is on his way to the coffee pot with a bag of Big Gear Grind by the time I lug my yawning self up the stairs.

Kenda day two….
Day 1 was super! We had loads of people by the booth and had just about every demo bike out all day. We piggy backed onto the 2 pm Dirt Rag ride...myself and Ruthie got to mix it up with the intermediate to advance crew. Coming from Colorado we don't get to ride many dark, dank and super wooded trails...ours are mainly open, dry and very fast. We rode two loops with the crew and even got to stop for wild berry picking!!! yum. After returning to the booth we got into the spirit of the festival with a few beers from the Dirt Rag tent.....a nice way to end day one.The second day brought clear skies and warm temps.....the trails were getting drier by the hour....today there were many more tents that had been set up during the Friday night arrival of more cyclist. The crowds were great all day long with many stopping by to demo bikes and let us know they appreciated us being at the festival....always a humbling time to talk with people who really love to ride. Ruthie set off at 2 pm for the womens ride and found after the first loop the womens crew wanted to do more.....ride more?....excellent times.
Late evening brought a power shower of rain to the area....should be fine for Sundays riding...hopefully we get to get out again.
Tomorrow looks to be busy at the booth...every demo is check out several times over......
Love the ride!!!
