Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a wonderful
weekend. School is back in session at UCD and there have been a lot more feet
and wheels to avoid this past week.
Today I have someone very interesting to introduce to
you!
Emelia is her
name and she is one cool cat!
~ Also known as “Care Bear” and “Em”~
Emelia has been working for B&L Bike Shop for 1
year as of TODAY!
Emelia first started out at B&L too… [where I
grew very fond of her]. After taking the summer off, she joined the boys on the
sales floor over on the shop side of things, and back in November she moved up
to the office and is now the Office Manager or Slave to the boss ladies as she
calls it.
Emelia was born on December 1st
Emelia owns a 1970’s Univega from her Mom’s college
days. It was also used to pull her around when she was a wee little one. She
also owns a Full Suspension Giant NRS mountain bike and a Specialized Roubaix
that is covered in stickers and named Racine, after a French author.
Emelia has seemed to always enjoy cycling. She was
crazy enough to one time ride from the coast of Oregon to Nashville, Tennessee
with a bunch of friends from college. They did this ride to raise money to
build wells in Africa. After 2600 miles and 40 days of riding Emelia says her
tush is still mad at her. [I pawnder the thought, “Will she ever do it again”]
Emelia loves cycling! She says she loves it because
cycling is something that she can do with friends, strangers, or alone. Emelia
says, “While I am out riding I see the world from a totally different and
deeper perspective than I would if I were driving a car. It’s a great place to
think or avoid thinking depending on the day.” [This is what I wish I could say
when they make me come in from wandering around outside! I just love the fresh
air . . . oh and bugs…]
Emelia started mountain biking as a young teenager
and has been road riding for almost 4 years now.
An interesting fact about Emelia: She lived in Peru
for 8 months trying to teach English, and for four of those months worked with
elementary school students. She Says, “It was like trying to herd a flock of
Spanish speaking cats…on a sugar high.”
When asked to give my
thoughts on Emelia my first response is always, "If I say something nice
do I get a treat?" Followed by the cutest meow's imaginable.
Don’t forget to stop in and check out those Clearance
Items I mentioned on Sunday! Next Sunday I will focus in on specific items on
Clearance.
Till then, I leave you with a favorite quote of
Emelia’s
"Drive
fast. Take Chances” ~Her Dad
