I had an absolute ball meeting so many of you in Richmond. I got to meet lots of my customers, whom I've only known over the phone and emails in the past, and happily put a face to a voice. What a thrill! I am so blessed with such a wonderful group of customers. Thank you!

It was also a joy to meet so many folks from the various forums on the web. No more hiding behind those screen names now! Ha! Talking with people face to face is still my favorite form of communication, but again, putting faces with names will make online discussions even more fun.

And, of course, seeing old friends in the industry and meeting lots of new ones was worth the trip alone. What a great community we have. It's so wonderful to see it thriving.

Thank you to everyone for all of the support. The booth felt full the entire weekend. And everyone just wanted to talk about riding their bikes, which for me is the whole point of all of this. I'm already looking forward to Austin!

I was fortunate enough to be able to spend some time with Bill Schieken from CX Magazine and In The Crosshairs. The video is here.

Now it's back to work. I brought home all of my incredible Anvil jigs and tooling and I am so psyched to start building bikes.

I'll close with the same thing I said above. Thank you so very much to all of my incredible customers. Without you, of course, none of this would be possible.
