Moots Profiles
Slow, steady steps… Ka-Pow! And Sam is in a fine samurai stance at the top of the stairs. Outlined by the doorway, he reminds me of an extra from ‘Harry-Karry’. From karate chop position, he walks through the door and often we find ourselves saying, ‘Good Morning!’ with an overly extended wave that uses the whole arm. Naturally we’ve gone from ancient Asia to synchronized swimming moves without a flinch…

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.

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.

Moab Skinny Tire Festival……
Is anyone going to be in Moab this coming weekend? Moots will be there supporting the Skinny Tire Festival with free demos to Festival participants. Things get under way on Friday February 29th with registration, and then the rides kick off Saturday morning and go through Tuesday. We will be bringing a great sampling of Vamoots and Compact road bikes for riders to spend an entire day out on the roads around Moab. Routes include a 51 mile ride out and back along the Colorado River, then a 58 mile "gallop" out to Dead Horse Point, a easy cruise on the Portal road then finishing off with a spectacular ride through Arches National Monument. This is a Lance Armstrong Foundation fund raiser with those miles going towards a great cause. Moots will be set up each morning and afternoon at the Archway Inn sizing up demos for riders. We will also have a good number of the Moots production staff rolling out those miles over the four day event. If you can make it, please stop by and see us. If you would like to reserve a demo mail me at: .The above photo is a Moots “spin class” that some of our fanatical riders have been doing over the winter months in an effort to keep those winter pounds off…. They meet every Wednesday at 4:30 in the miter shop. If you happen to be in town with your bike and a wind trainer stop by for the “fun”. Silly I tell you, silly.
Hope to see you in Moab.

I love the cinder block wheelie does this simulate riding up-hill? I see one chap on rollers what’s wrong with the rest of the bunch? Looks like everyone is having a great time.
I think the dog has the right attitude and kudos to the biker chick willing to put up the guys.
Uhh Aren’t there two biker chicks?
I think they are watching Opra? Rollers or wind trainers, we don’t fault either one. And yes, two biker chicks! I’m gonna have to start riding soon to keep up.
I wish I was there. Would like to see how it’s overthere .......
Spin class? Tell me why the dog is sleeping then?
My oversight. I should have said biker chickSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Hey, I like the new travel coffee mugs. So for whoever is responsible for that choice, take a bow. Bravo.
