GT Cycle and all things life like...

Today, I went to Traverse City with my dad so he could get a book he's been wanting. well, the book doesn't come out until tomorrow little did he know. So, from there we went to GT cycle so I could get a chainstay protector. I went up to the counter to purchase the chainstay protector and I was asking the owner if he knew where i could buy Jamis shirts, jerseys etc... and he told me there really isn't anywhere to get that, but he might be able to order something for me. Next thing I know, he walks to the back and brings out a Jamis hat for me and he gave it to me for free. I was shocked, what kind of bike shop just gives people things? GT cycle, that is who! they treat you more like a friend than just another customer.

After I got home from TC, I decided to take a ride up to the gym and work out. I figured out that going up the big hill to the gym, the hill is a mile and a half! that was a good work out on its own. but I found the extra energy to work out a little bit. I rode home and showered and got all fresh again after sweating like crazy haha. hopefully the rest of my night will be relaxing and/or fun filled!

I think I'm going to leave on Thursday for Chicago and check into possible jobs and see my friend Alix. it should be a great weekend! :)
I'll be sure to update soon.

Biking and Bedding

Today was a great day of fun. I woke up and got ready to go to TC with my dad to go ride the VASA trail. this was the first time I've ridden that trail and it was a blast! My dad had been gone for a couple weeks so it was good to spend time with him again doing something we both enjoy. After riding for awhile, we went shopping for some bedding. it sounds a bit funny to me, but I really wanted to get a new comforter and sheets. I ended up getting a down comforter, sheets and some feather pillows.... they are so comfortable! As soon as I got home, I ripped the old bedding from my bed and put on the new stuff, it looks as good as it feels! :D
Oh! and we went to Qdoba for lunch which was amazing as always. I even saw my friend rachel there which I haven't seen in a couple years! I was surprised to see her and didn't even recognize her at first.

Sorry this wasn't very long... but I am gonna try to post more....possibly daily if I remember to.
