Trek World 07

Well, it's here, the busiest week of the year for Trek employees. We've been going to seminars and things like that since Saturday, but the real fun begins tomorrow when the first dealer show begins. I've wandered thru the showroom floor with all the new bikes and products...there is some really cool new stuff coming out for 08. Lots of products got complete overhauls, including the new Madone, the cross bikes, and the Bontrager wheels. I'll try to get some pics posted of some of the new goodies later this week.

This past weekend Heather and Willa went to Michigan to visit Heather's family. Word on the street is that Heather's parents finally sold their house. Good to hear. So Vontoux and I had a bachelor's weekend.

We also got our new furnace installed last week, getting rid of the 30-year old, non-efficient piece of junk that was downstairs. Our new Goodman is 95% efficient (compared to our old one, which the furnace guy said was around 65-75%!). We will save between $1,000-$1,500 a year in just heating/cooling costs. That's crazy. Heather will post some pics of it on her blog shortly...

It's amazing to look back at how much our house has changed since we bought it six months ago. The new roof, furnace, ceramic tile, painting, cleaning up the backyard, etc. It looks so much better than when we first moved in. We have a couple more projects before summer ends...finishing the pavers underneath the deck and I would like to get the driveway re-asphalted. Then in the fall/winter we'll have lots more painting to do.

I got out of working Trek World for the afternoon this upcoming Saturday so I can go race the WORS race in Mt Morris. It happens to be an AMBC event, which means that it is a qualifying race for 2008 Nationals. Hopefully I will do well. :)
