Another interesting day today full of driving all over creation. Fortunately driving in Connecticut is fun and this time of year the scenery is great. Some of the back roads are still gnarly from the snow which makes things interesting. I hit up Ikea for some new office furniture. Ikea leases this entire building next to their store just so they can place ads on it (it's right next to the highway).
I had to do a little climbing to find the right legs for the table I bought. Low cost comes at a price I suppose.
Then I headed across town to meet up with Mike Steidley. When he's not doing 40 trials demos a year, competing or assisting in the marketing efforts for his sponsors he's trading stocks - when I walked in he had all sorts of graphs, stats and market info running. Vicious!
Mike runs his riding career like a business and it definitely shows. A lot of riders out there could learn a few things from this guy.
After catching up on things and talking a little business over lunch I hit the road. Fortunately I had Speed Racer in front of me the whole ride back. It was some New Yorker in his CLS500 with a lead foot.
Holding steady at around 90 brought my 30 minute journey down to 18. I'm not promoting speeding, nor am I promoting the operation of a digital camera and motor vehicle at the same time, but the Merrit Parkway is like the Autobahn of Connecticut so I couldn't resist.
