For those of you readers that do not work in a bike shop, February can be a lonely time for us. The weather is really starting to effect us all. We can't ride as much we would like, so we are all a little on edge. There aren't many customers coming in and we all get a little tired of talking to the same faces every day (sorry Adam and Soupie but it had to be said). One of my former Bike Shop Bosses said that on days like this you could fire a cannon through the store and no one would get killed. Now mind you that as we have grown form one store to four in the last year and a half we are a lot busier that before, but, I have gotten used to the hectic nature and kind of miss it.
That being said, for the first time in a very long time, I am really getting excited about this February! The warehouse sale is shaping up to be the largest in history. We have made some really excellent additions to the TOP family (Welcome TJ, Travis, Bonnie, Janet, Blockhead, Dub, Justin, and Tight Pants) . Shadyside gets closer everyday and should open any day now. It should the nicest and the highest end store in six area codes. Cranberry is open and the staff are starting to lose the deer in the headlights look.
I am also really looking forward to working with local boys on the Fisher 29er team this year (Go Travis and TJ). I am also looking forward to cheering and supporting Lola in her endurance goals.
anyway, 2007 is here and I for one am really excited. I hope yinz stop by and see all of the great thing happening at TRM and the rest of the TOP family. I think you will be really impressed.
Later kids, I'm out.
