Meeting at the Trek Store

Tonight we didn't ride but instead met at the Trek store in Kearney Mesa(www.treksandiego.com) for a presentation by Dan Plummer, owner of Wheels on Wheels (http://www.wheelsonwheels.com/index.html). It was a mixture of Radio Contestants, CAF Riders and QMDC supporting staff.

Trek has really opened up their store to support this program and event. Our very first meeting was in this store location to go over the details and hear about the program. Mike Olson, the owner, is all about the bike and making it a life style. To me that speaks volumes about why they are successful.



Dan did a great job talking about bike maintenance, what to carry (very little since he is there for support), and bike handling skills. I didn't realize that he raced a few years back and is also a coach with over 30 years of experience. That's the type of person I can a lot from.

After we all had some time to mingle and chat. This is such a huge program and there are so many people involved that I don't always get the chance to talk to all the participants on Sunday or at SPIN class. It's nice to see people out of their cycling clothes and to hear about the other parts of their lives.
