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.

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…

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.

The tacky track…
Word is that just days before the kick off of the Kenda Festival the area recieved multiple inches of rain in a very short time.....and after riding on Friday I believe them....wow...loads of mud in some places, but quickly drying out......By the afternoon the trails had dried to a tacky and loamy heaven....I think if there is one thing that sticks out in my mind over this 10 day trip is that there is good riding everywhere and anywhere you want to poke around. Different places bring different stlyes of riding and bike set up.....tires, gear to wear...but in the end it's all good stuff. Even along I-70 in some town I've never heard of there are jems of cycling to be discovered....I hope to see more, from by bike of course.
