MMBA EXPO on Sunday, January 30thIt was a beautiful blue sky day to drive up to the Michigan State University campus and attend the MMBA Annual Meeting & Expo. When we stepped into the Pavilion, it was like wandering the back roads, with the rich aroma of cow manure wafting down the hall.
Pass by the empty animal stalls and suddenly a massive room full of bikers fills your eyes and the aroma disappears into a world of mountain bikes and bike parts displayed as far as the eye can see.
Joe Lekovish set me up with a space to sell Dirt Road Washtenaw at the MBRA tent. It turned out to be a great place to hang out.
Luke Cavendish, overall winner of the roller races.It was the perfect spot to watch the Roller Races run by the Downtown Ferndale Bike Shop, MBRA, and officials from the Bloomer Park Velodrome. Yes, these were road and trackies infiltrating a mountain bike event.
But, judging by the crowd, mtb'ers were very much enjoying the roller races.
Joe did much of the officiating, as usual. It worked for me, since often the name of my book somehow repeatedly filled that massive hall. (Thanks, Joe.)
There were a lot of bike parts for sale.
2nd Place!
Smiling? Or is that a happy grimace?
Go! Go! Go!I'd be glad to fill in more names here if someone sends them to me. Thanks.
