Job Inteview and more

May 22, 2014

I have been running the bike shop and working part time for Home Depot since February. Today I drove to Valdosta and Interviewed for a full time job. The interview started about 30 minutes late, but once it got started I felt it went very well. We talked a lot about various experiences and about why I felt the job would be something I would like. We also talked about the company benefits and the more we talked the more the interviewer and I seemed to be on the same page. It was a great interview and when I left there I was feeling that I had a very good chance at the job.

After the interview I stopped by The Valdosta Bike Center to pick up a couple of spokes for a bike I am fixing up to sell. A really nice Genesis bike. I will have it in the shop for 110.00 within the next couple of days. I am also working on a nice Mongoose that will be selling in that same price range after I put on a new brake noodle tomorrow.  

After leaving the bike shop I headed over to the VA Medical Clinic and picked up the paperwork to apply to the VA for medical assistance, I may not need it if I get the job, but thought I should apply anyway just in case. With all the bad news about the VA in the news lately I sort of wonder if I even should apply.  Anyway got the paperwork and will fill it out, more to get VA ID Card than anything else.

Once I got back to Moultrie I changed clothes and went to the bike shop. One 20" bike had sold while I was gone and a person picked up a repair. While I was putting the spokes on the Genesis a customer that had brought me a scooter yesterday for repair came in and picked that up, so all in all it was a pretty good day.  I am still trying to get the Tandem going. I searched my junk pile for a 24" rear wheel with coaster brakes, found 2 26" coaster brake bikes and 1 3 speed hub bike but unfortunately no 24" coaster brake wheels. I did find plenty of 24" front wheels though. Guess I will have to order a 24" rear wheel from Hawley or KHS.

I received a junk bike yesterday that was a frame for 26" wheels but has 24" wheels on it and the rear wheel is shot, I have plenty of 26" wheels so I will see if this bike is worth repairing to sell. If the front and rear derailleur are any good it can probably be repaired and sold.

I have this great Giant Bicycle at the store for only 300.00 used. Excellent condition. It is on consignment, so we would really like to sell it. The owner is also motivated so make an offer.

Bible verse from Devotional:

1 How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD Almighty! 2 My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. 3 Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young-- a place near your altar, O LORD Almighty, my King and my God. 4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. "Selah" 5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage. 6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. 7 They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion. 8 Hear my prayer, O LORD God Almighty; listen to me, O God of Jacob. "Selah" 9 Look upon our shield, O God; look with favor on your anointed one. 10 Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked. 11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. 12 O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you.

Termites or ants?

May 21, 2014

Today is my birthday, I am 62 years of age. We decided that instead of having a big party, we would have a family pizza party tomorrow evening.  Ruth and I are both hoping that will be also a "celebration" of a new full time job. I interview for a full time 40 hour a week job that pays quite a bit more than my current part time position and does offer benefits.  It would be wonderful to have a full time job again.

Today we also found out we have termites, Ruth and I went to the grocery this morning and when we come back there were small bugs all over the kitchen floor, they were small winged bugs and I was not sure if they were carpenter ants or termites. We called Terminix and they confirmed that they were termites. The cost to get rid of them would be about 1500.00, which we simply cannot afford, but we also don't want to allow them to destroy our house, especially since we recently paid quite a bit of money to get the floors and stuff fixed.  Anyone know of  a way to get rid of termites cheap. I expect we will have the treatments done at some point but need to find some sort of interim treatment until we can get the full treatment.

Bible Verse from Devotional:

9 Do to them as you did to Midian, as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon, 10 who perished at Endor and became like refuse on the ground. 11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, 12 who said, "Let us take possession of the pasturelands of God." 13 Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind. 14 As fire consumes the forest or a flame sets the mountains ablaze, 15 so pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your storm. 16 Cover their faces with shame so that men will seek your name, O LORD. 17 May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace. 18 Let them know that you, whose name is the LORD-- that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.

Bike shop stuff

While we are not a big bike shop we are doing some business, probably about as much as can be expected in Moultrie, Georgia. I sold a used Roadmaster bicycle today, and another person that had put 10.00 down on another used bike came in and picked up that bike which sure helps a lot. Yesterday a man came in and picked up 3 master links for single speed chains and 2 other people picked up repairs, so business is beginning to pick up. The spring and summer is usually pretty decent.

I know most everyone knows that I am now putting gasoline engines on bikes for those that want them. If you want I will be happy to put one on for you. Here is how I have decided to do these motorized bicycles. The base price for motor and install will be 300.00 that includes the motor, installation and a 2 gallon can of properly mixed gas/oil mixture that should last through the break-in period. I also suggest that the customer purchase a cycle computer of some sort, preferably wireless, but at least some way to keep track of how fast and how far you are going.  The computer is not included in the 300.00.  The 300.00 is paid in advance before I order the engine. At this point I have very few replacement parts for the engines, however that is gradually changing, and the more engines I sell and install the more replacement parts I will carry.

One thing I have noticed is that I really need better ventilation in the shop  when working on the Gas Powered bikes.  I have looked into the possibility of getting a portable building that I can have placed outside near the door and use that for working on the gas powered bikes. Bishop's has a nice 12X24 with a light, receptacles and windows a entrance door and an overhead door 1X 24 size for 140.00 a month and 85.00 delivers, that could be an option sometime in the future.

The 80 CC gasoline powered bicycle engine is really not hard to work on, is pretty simple and unfortunately not of real high quality, when they are received the first thing you really need to do is throw away most of the nuts and bolts in favor of  American made threaded rod, and better quality hardware. Then get a higher quality spark plug and purchase an extra chain. The chain that comes with it is of questionable quality, you can usually buy a much better Roller Chain in the proper size at your local hardware store like ACE.

Anyway the cost for a Gasoline Powered 80 CC  the engine and installation is 300.00. That is for a standard V frame bike with 26 MM tubes. If your bike is not a standard V frame with 26MM tubes then the cost will go up depending on the bike.

 

This bike is NOT a standard V frame nor does it have 26 MM tubes, a Bike like this would definitely run over 300.00 to purchase and install the engine. Also the bikes should be a frame that takes a 26" or 700 wheel.

 

After I met with the Treminex man about the Termites I drove back out to the store and finished a bike I had worked on most of the day. It had been left set out in the rain, the shifter, chain and brakes were all rusted so badly that they had to be replaced.

 

 

Internet Marketing,

 

 

While I am not yet a big success in Internet marketing , I am finding it to be at least slightly profitable and am thinking that within a few years it may very well be at a point where I don't need to work any longer.

 

One program that I am having very good luck with so far is SpinDing. SpinDing is a Free app that you download to your phone, then you "spin" and when you do you get whatever you land on. This can be anywhere from a sandwich to a car. Never know what you might "win".   If you join with me as a Spinding dealer you will get bonuses and paid cycles. To see what I am talking about check out http://www.spinding.com/jgoodwin31768

 

 

Check out this link then get back to me, I believe in paying it forward, so you may very well get in free. 

Have a great day

BMG Cycles Plus and Internet Marketing

April 20, 2014

All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them. ~Walt Disney

BMG Cycles Plus- Moultrie, Georgia USA

You notice the name of my business is BMG Cycles Plus. I am sure you know by now that the BMG Cycles part is a bicycle shop. In the bike shop I repair virtually all styles, brands and types of bicycles. I have even been known to put motors on bicycles turning them into a sort of Moped. In addition to repairing bicycles we sell Fuji,SE, Free Agent, KHS and Manhattan Bikes. 

So you may be wondering what the "Plus" is. We have a small workout room in the bicycle shop where people can work out or I can train them. I was Certified as Personal Trainer actuallyy before I started the Bicycle Shop. So that is one "plus".

I also do some Internet/Network Marketing. I have searched and been involved with many Network Marketing Programs over the years and have found that there are a LOT of great programs out there. I have had to limit what I take on simply because it takes time and money to get them set up and to promote them. The great thing about Network Marketing is the residual income, build once and get paid forever. If that sounds good to you then I invite you to take a serious look at this opportunity by clicking here

After you check out the WUN website, send me and email or PM me on facebook, you an even just comment on this blog that you want me to contact you and leave your contact info. I will be happy to do that. If you're are serious about making money in a solid Network Marketing Company. I will even help you get started.

If you don't believe you can afford the fees associated with WUN, then check out this link where your upfront cost can be as little as 1.75 and in a few short weeks, you will have enough to join WUN, so check it out  simple and cheap. Just click here 

Do comment below on the blog, let me know what you think. I will soon be adding some articles that should help with any business. If you send me a write up for your business I may even allow some guest posts .

Bible Verse from Devotional,

1 Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck. 2 I sink in the miry depths, where there is no foothold. I have come into the deep waters; the floods engulf me. 3 I am worn out calling for help; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God. 4 Those who hate me without reason outnumber the hairs of my head; many are my enemies without cause, those who seek to destroy me. I am forced to restore what I did not steal. 5 You know my folly, O God; my guilt is not hidden from you. 6 May those who hope in you not be disgraced because of me, O Lord, the LORD Almighty; may those who seek you not be put to shame because of me, O God of Israel. 7 For I endure scorn for your sake, and shame covers my face. 8 I am a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my own mother's sons; 9 for zeal for your house consumes me, and the insults of those who insult you fall on me. 10 When I weep and fast, I must endure scorn; 11 when I put on sackcloth, people make sport of me. 12 Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of the drunkards.

Hope Everyone had a Fantastic Easter

Internet Marketing and the Tour de Tifton/Ilse Boyette Memorial Bike ride

April 8, 2014

Internet Marketing

My friend Sotero Garcia lives in California and has been an Internet Marketer for several years. I know Sotero and know that he makes money in the programs he promotes. Sveral of his family are also in Internet Marketing. I myself have been doing some Internet Marketing for a few years with some minor successes. Yesterday afternoon Sotero and his brother invited me to join them in a program that they were promoting. I watched their "google hangout" video, and then the other videos and reports Sotero sent to me. I really believe this can be very beneficial to anyone that is willing to follow the diertcions and put in some effort. I am now inviting anyone reading this to come on board with me. All you do is follow very simple directions and there is of course a small cash investment. Watch the video below, if you think you may be interetested call me at 229-921-0072- email me at bmgcycleplus@gmail.com or pm me on facebook.

Bible Verse

1 My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. 2 He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. 3 How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down-- this leaning wall, this tottering fence? 4 They fully intend to topple him from his lofty place; they take delight in lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse."Selah" 5 Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. 6 He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. 7 My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. 8 Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him,for God is our refuge. "Selah" 9 Lowborn men are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie; if weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath. 10 Do not trust in extortion or take pride in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them. 11 One thing God has spoken, two things have I heard: that you, O God, are strong, 12and that you, O Lord, are loving. Surely you will reward each person according to what he has done.

Tour de Tifton

The Tour de Tifton/Ilse Boyette Memorial Bicycle ride will be held this Saturday, come join us if you can. 

Here are some pics of the great scenery 

Bike Shop,

Today should be interesting, I am finally caught up with most things. There are some small things like putting a chain on a Kett Carr and a brake on a bike that will be sold, checking out a bike I picked up last evening and just general clean up.  Have to head over and pay the newspaper for our ads. Hopefully will have some people come in and drop off their bikes for repair. 

Hope everyone has a great and wonderful day

Tour de Tifton and some Internet Marketing stuff

April 7, 2014

1 Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. 2 From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 3 For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. 4 I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. "Selah" 5 For you have heard my vows, O God; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name. 6 Increase the days of the king's life, his years for many generations.7 May he be enthroned in God's presence forever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him. 8 Then will I ever sing praise to your name and fulfill my vows day after day.

Tour de Tifton.

The Tour de Tifton is coming this Saturday April 12, 2014. I will be providing on route SAG for the ride. Join us if you can. There will be rides ranging from 11 miles to a full century (100 Miles). Do come join us if you can. All money raised goes to help the YMCA and it underprivileged children programs.

Internet Marketing

I just received an invitation form an old friend Sotero Garcia to join with him and several others in what sounds like an excellent program. 

Check out the video, and get back with me, preferably by email or Facebook messaging. Once I hear form you I will send you some more details on exactly how this works. It sounds like there is a lot of money to be made. 

Bike Shop stuff:

I am sort of "caught up" at the bike shop. All the bikes for all the customers are repaired and ready to go back to them, except one which is waiting on parts, but as soon as the parts arrives that can be fixed in a few minutes. I do have a chain to put on a Small Kett Kar toy that my grandson Kevin likes, and a brake to put on a pink 10 speed that will be sold, also a set of shifters on a 24" bike that will be sold. But for the most part all the customer's bikes are ready to be sent back to their homes. This is really the first time that has happened since the first of the year.  

Hope everyone has a great day

Building a responsive list some about bikes

April 6,2014

1 You have rejected us, O God, and burst forth upon us; you have been angry--now restore us! 2You have shaken the land and torn it open; mend its fractures, for it is quaking. 3 You have shown your people desperate times; you have given us wine that makes us stagger. 4 But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled against the bow. "Selah" 5 Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered. 6 God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Succoth. 7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my scepter. 8 Moab is my washbasin, upon Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph." 9 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? 10 Is it not you, O God, you who have rejected us and no longer go out with our armies? 11 Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless. 12 With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.


Building a responsive list

If you are an Internet Marketer, it doesn't really matter what you sell, you really will need a list to be successful. I have seen the ads that say you can do XXX and make money without a list, without a website etc.  I have found those ads to almost always be misleading at best and often just outright lies.

In order to be successful in any business you must treat it like a business. To run an Internet Marketing business like a business you will need a few things. One is something of value a service a product or a report of some sort that you can give away freely but that the prospect sees as something of value. To a golfer that could be a report on how to take swings off his golf score. To a fitness buff, maybe a short report on how to get six pack abs without doing crunches. This is how you start what marketers call your sales funnel and how you build a list.

The first thing you will need with an Internet Marketing business is to decide how much money you are willing to invest each month, make yourself a budget. The smaller the budget the more time you will have to put in, and do NOT expect to be an overnight millionaire, that is not the way it works. Just like any business an Internet Marketing business takes time, effort and money to build. I would start out at not less than 100.00 per month. If you think about a conventional brick and mortar business, that would not even pay the light bill or phone bill, or half the rent in most cases.

The second thing you may need is a website, though many programs provide you with a site for their program, it would actually be better to have your own website and domain. name. I will go into why it is bettern anwhat a Domain etc is in a different article.

You will need an Autoresponder like GVO, Aweber, Getresponse or one of the many others out there. M and G has one now that you not only get the AR, but you also get leads to help you build your list. It does cost about 40.00 a month, but if you are budgeting 100.00 then you still have 60.00 left.  The there are free leads systems like this one . That way you can use more of the budget for other things like advertising.

So you have something of value now, either you have created like a report or a video and you start sharing it as people start looking at your video or reading your report which of course has your links in it they click on your link, a landing page comes up asking them to give you their email and name. If they do you have a new "subscriber" for your list. Congratulations you have just begun list building and now you have to make this subscriber know you, like you, and trust you. If he /she has a question, answer it. The more you let the customer know that you care about him/her the better the relationship and the more likely you will have a long term client and customer.

The important thing when building a list is to be consistent and to develop a relationship with your customers and prospects. I mentioned before in a blog that you should also "qualify" your list.  You will have your main list which will be you "evergreen" list, hope Mark Hendricks don't mind me borrowing that term from him. You could also have several other lists which would qualify them.  I used to do almost all fitness and health marketing so I had my evergreen list, then one for people interested in weight loss, and one for people interested in bodybuilding as well as another that had people interested in cycling. All these people were on my evergreen list and received something each week. When I had something special in one of the niches I would send that to the list for that niche. You can do the same with virtually any type of business. Today I have an evergreen list and about 8 other "niche" lists, one of which is a list of people interested in Marketing.

Bike Shop

I have an order of parts coming in in the morning with which I can repair 3 bikes and a small toy pedal car toy that needs a chain. I was able to get the motorbike ready to go Friday afternoon, but it is back in the shop now. It appears that someone borrowed it from the owner and tried to push it without holding the clutch in, not sure if something is broken in the engine or just came loose. I will have an engine mechanic take from MT Power Equipment look at it in the morning. If it can't be repaired the owner will have 2 choices, either remove the motor and use it as a bicycle or buy a new engine which is 95.00.

Don't forget about the Tour de Tifton/Ilse Boyette Memorial Bicycle Ride coming up April 12, 2014 in Tifton Georgia. Calkl the Tiftarea YMCA for more information on this wonderful event.

Have a great day

Building a List and the Couch to 40K

April 4, 2014,

1 Deliver me from my enemies, O God; protect me from those who rise up against me. 2 Deliver me from evildoers and save me from bloodthirsty men. 3 See how they lie in wait for me! Fierce men conspire against me for no offense or sin of mine, O LORD. 4 I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Arise to help me; look on my plight! 5 O LORD God Almighty, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to wicked traitors. "Selah" 6 They return at evening, snarling like dogs, and prowl about the city. 7 See what they spew from their mouths-- they spew out swords from their lips, and they say, "Who can hear us?"

Couch to 40 K Bicycle Training Program

The Couch to 40 K Bicycle Training Program is a Small Groups Ministry of Heritage Church in Moultrie Georgia. I have provided this program for the past 4 years in Tifton and this year in Moultrie Georgia. Everyone is welcome to attend, you do not have to be a member of Heritage Church or any church for that matter. There will be some christian fellowship, prayer etc, so be aware of that. 

We begin the ride at 3 PM on Sunday Afternoon and attempt to ride a little further each week until we have riders going 26 miles (about 40 KM) each session. Participation has been very good over the years, we have had numerous riders that started with us and have now purchased new bikes and become cyclists. Some of them are actually probably riding more than I do right now. 

Most of the riders from previous years went on to participate in at least one Tour de Tifton/Ilse Boyette Memorial Ride. This year the TdT will be held April 12, 2014 and will start and end at the Hunt Park Campus of the Tiftarea YMCA. Come join us if you can. 

Internet Marketing

If you have ever done any sort of Internet Marketing you have heard that "the Money is in the list" and for the most part I find that to be true. But I would also want to qualify that. I know that there is more money in a quality list of subscribers that know you, like you and trust you. You need to develop a relationship with the people on the list for it to be a profitable list.  Just having a list of a lot of name and emails is not enough, it may be a start but if the you do not have a relationship with the people on that list you will very likely not make much money with the list. That is the list will not be as responsive.

So the question should be how do you get a responsive list? The answer is pretty simple, but it dose take time and most marketers are not willing to wait and do the work it takes or put in the effort.. There are many ways to build a list such as JV's or Article Marketing. 

Probably the easiest way to start is to write an ebook or make a video with some valuable information that you are willing to share. If you play golf you may write an ebook or make a video on how to cut strokes off your golf game, then give it away and all the person on the receiving end does is give you their email and name, now you have a person on your list that knows who you are. If you have given good information for free, this person will also expect good products or services from you. If you meet that expectation then he will trust you and like you and is far more likely to buy from you in the future. Now you have a person on your list that knows you,. likes, and trusts you. You build your list one step and one client at a time. 

It is not terribly hard work, but it is work and it takes effort and most people are not willing to put in that effort or learn to do these things and that is why 97% of Internet Marketers never make money. 

Bike Shop stuff

With any luck at all I will be able to get that Motor Bike kit bike out of the shop today and be able to get some other work done. Have 2 bikes there that should be pretty easy once I can get to them. 

Hope you all have a great day

A lttle marketing news and More about the Tour de Tifton

April 3, 2014

Tour de Tifton:

Don't forget April 12, 2014 is the Tour de Tifton/ Isle Boyette Memorial Bicycle Ride. The money raised will benefit the Tiftarea YMCA and will specifically help underprivileged children programs. This will be the 5th annual fundraising bicycle ride. Join us April 12, 2014 at 7 AM at the Hunt Park Campus of the Tiftarea YMCA.

Bible Verse from Daily Devotional

1 Do you rulers indeed speak justly? Do you judge uprightly among men? 2 No, in your heart you devise injustice, and your hands mete out violence on the earth. 3 Even from birth the wicked go astray; from the womb they are wayward and speak lies. 4 Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears, 5 that will not heed the tune of the charmer,however skillful the enchanter may be. 6 Break the teeth in their mouths, O God; tear out, O LORD, the fangs of the lions! 7 Let them vanish like water that flows away; when they draw the bow, let their arrows be blunted. 8 Like a slug melting away as it moves along, like a stillborn child,may they not see the sun. 9 Before your pots can feel [the heat of] the thorns-- whether they be green or dry--the wicked will be swept away. 10 The righteous will be glad when they are avenged,when they bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked. 11 Then men will say, "Surely the righteous still are rewarded; surely there is a God who judges the earth."

Internet Marketing

I have been in Internet Marketing for a few  years and have never really been what anyone would consider a "success" but that is changing. I expect to make far more this year in Internet Marketing than I have ever made at a job. You know what the letters in job stand for, right? JOB + Just over Broke, and most jobs provide just that, so starting and or expanding your own business is a way of surviving and thriving.

Over the past few years there have been quite a few changes in our life and a new found interest in Internet Marketing. I enjoy fixing bikes and running the bike shop, but in the small town of Moultrie Georgia, there is just not enough bike business to make a living doing that. I have had to take a part time job just to survive and that was after we had paid off  all our credit cards, automobiles etc, so we only had a couple of student loan payments and the house payment which was pretty small. 

Join me in one of the 2 Internet Marketing Programs that I am promoting and I will do all I can to help you become a successful marketer too.  Here is the link to the program I expect will soon be making me as much or more money than my bike shop and my part time job. 

Bike Shop.

Well I finally got the Motorized Bicycle kit all put together and on the test run the chain broke and when we tried to put it back on noticed it was bent pretty bad. It is not a normal chain so it took a while to locate a new one, but I found one and will put it on first thing in the morning. The engine tried to start before the chain gave us the problem, so I am expecting that once the new chain is on we should have a running motorized bicycle. The motor kit was purchased from ebay and the direction for the assembly of the motor etc are extremely poor. I guess they loose a lot in the translation between Chinese and English. Anyway we managed to figure out everything and hopefully tomorrow will be the last time I have to deal with this one. 

There are also 2 other bikes that need repaired, 1 just needs a tire and tube, the other needs shifters and cables, so hopefully I can get them done tomorrow also.  Actually while working on the "Motor Bike" today did sell two used bikes, a used 26" Free Spirit and a used Genesis bicycle, so not a bad day in all, just wish I could get that Motorbike finished and out of the store.

Tour de Tifton

If you are planning on being in Tifton Georgia on April 12, 2014 then do stop by the Hunt Park Campus of the Tiftarea YMCA for the 5th Annual Tour de Tifton/Ilse Boyette Memorial Bicycle Ride. The ride is a wonderful ride through beautiful countryside, and the money raised helps the underprivileged children at the Tiftarea YMCA.  Great ride Great Cause, I will be there providing on route SAG for the ride. 

Have a great day
