Moots Profiles
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.

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.

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…

Sand and more sand…here and there
Sorry but no action shots of the cross racing this weekend. On Sunday 4 Moots factory racers traveled to the-oh-so hip town of Boulder Colorado to take part in BOULDER RACINGS 3rd race of the 4 race series. Sunday s race was held at Boulder Reservoir just to the northeast of Boulder proper. Racers were greeted with loads of beach front property to test their skills and fitness. Good thing I had just read about how Lars Boom rides the sand in Holland. The race course at the Reservoir quickly got the nickname of “Little Holland”…..bring those Boom skills and go easy on the bars as you roost through the course. The racing was a blast and all parties made it back to Steamboat without much incident.It seemed fitting that a good friend of mine had sent me a photo of beach Elmo sitting on the sand on the Normandy Coast of France. Peet lives in Holland and works at an outstanding shop called John Knoops…long story short we became great friends during my visit in January 2006. I had taken beach Elmo with me and would photo him in various places as I traveled so I could show my son where I had gone. Before I left Holland I left beach Elmo with Peets son Beau….I’m not sure if they have Sesame Street in The Netherlands but he seemed to like him anyway. So now he’s sending photos of beach Elmo back to me…. He’s a good guy. Someday I’ll travel back to The Netherlands and Beau and Ely can meet….someday.

Jon,
No way did you put me in Jeopardy or anyone else! You had everything under control. That’s racing at it’s best!
See you in Boulder!
