Uhhh, the Cross-Fit!?! How did they know? I would argue they had something to do with it, about 20 years ago.

Quote of the Week
"According to an old saw, a year in Vermont is nine months of winter followed by three months of very poor sledding."
I feel this applies to MN too.

Waverly Cafe, Waverly, MN
If you're up for a road trip west of the cities, into rural MN, put Waverly on your list. I'd make a point of hitting this diner-like cafe for brunch...and maybe the nearby Harley dealership.
Food is solid diner fare. I tried what seemed to be one of their signature items, stuffed hash browns. They were very good, and if that wasn't filling enough, I added the two eggs and a two-piece French toast order. Delicious!
Of course, this is not low-fat and you may just snack later in the day, but this is classic American breakfast food. Let's say it helped fuel my short ride later in the day...yeah, that's it.

Project He SL, completed
Though it took some time, extra effort, and a few moments of debate... if it's worth doing, it's worth doing well.
14lbs without any extra fancy bits. I'm hoping it will get tons of use (crossing fingers).

Can a bike shop stay in business?
I'm often amazed at the bike shops that stay in business. You have to be a smart, savvy, and an ever-changing business person to do it well.
Below is a screen shot (maybe an actual "photo-copy") from a 1990 Bridgestone catalog (a now defunct bike brand). It all holds true today though, and maybe has gotten worse with the introduction of the internet.
