On Tuesday I recieved a job offer from Trek of Cincinatti. On Wednesday, halfway through my morning ride, I called back and accepted. I will be a mechanic at the new Trek of Cincinatti store in Blue Ash, Ohio begining in May.
This is a big move for me, leaving my home of five years (the greater Damascus/Emory area) for an area unlike any I have lived in before. Cincinatti is so much more populated than South-West Virginia yet much less hectic and populated than Northern Virginia/DC.
I am excited on so many levels about this change in scenery. I will once again have access to a wide variety of food, art, music, and culture in general. The biking scene in Cincinatti is increadible and should push my riding further than I have been able to achieve over the past five years. It's the clean start that eveyone dreams about when they graduate college: I am just making the leap a year late.
At the same time I am sad to leave Damascus. I'm leaving behind a great group of friends: Jess, Lindsey, Katelyn, Paul, Pepper, Greg, Brad, and Bill (I am sure I am leaving someone off this list: sorry). Also, I am leaving behind a great shop that gave me the experience needed to move up in the bike industry. To Adventure I will always be greatful.
With that I am going to hit the sack before starting in on my last two weeks in Damscus. Enjoy the great weather and all opportunities.
