Linked

I am officially Linkedin one might say. I am actually enjoying the proffessional networking site and am finding people that I know aside from the work place.

Besides work I am riding more and even commuting daily to the office by bicycle. 11.67 miles one way to be exact (I even charted it). The extra 45 minutes in the morning and at night really helps to clear my head and I find myself to be alot less stressed. Becoming a professional mountain biker seemed easier than becoming a proffessional Sales person. That could be because I was having so much fun riding my bike that I forgot how hard it actually was. That sounds more reasonable!

I am having fun at work too and have also found it to be a challange. I always love a good challange, and with the construction season (and biking) right around the corner, I say bring it on!! I am motivated, ready, and can't wait to get things going on both sides. I hope everyone is gearing up for some great things to come and I will se my biking palls soon.

Happy riding!

Cancun Getaway

Never mind, that was somone elses life!



20inches of snow, 4hours of labor, 2people with shovels, and 1wheelborrow. Now that is the Wisconsin I remembered growing up. I hope all of the kids enjoyed their day off!

Happy trails!

Cleaning House

No, I am not going to sell my used shammy, or myself.... but..........
If any one looking for a 2010 Stumpjumper S-Works Frame set just let me know.... When I was cleaning the bike yesterday all of the parts just disappeared.
The frame would come with a fork, seat post, and stem.

Now that's what I am talking about. Great job everyone and congrats on all of the accomplishments! What a year and it couldn't have been done with out the support of my Fiancee' Lynn. I want to thank everyone who helped me out this year especially Chris and Michelle/Adventure 212. Specialized for the super sweet race machine, and The Hostel Shoppe for the much needed shop support. Those Cole Bro's really know what they are doing. Oh yeah and the extra motivation from every one of my teammates is great, I couldn't ask to be on a better team!

Also a BIG shout out to my coach, Joe Cieszynski (Wenzel Coaching) who helped me adjust this year a whole lot. After a great spring of training my new job through a wrench in the middle of everything and the whole schedule was compromised. He really has a knack for adjusting to the challenges that life throws out.

The season is over but don't be surprised to see me at a few cross races :)!

Refer To.....

Please refer to Our Adventures as Lynn now has a smart phone and will blog at random. If Chris has his way I will probably even be pulled from the 212 blog roll and replaced with Lynn's blog...... Way to go Mike, thanks for coming out of retirement and putting the blog pressure on me.

Any way I had a great weekend and hope everyone else did too!
