We are live on location at Bike Stop Cafe in St. Charles Missouri. We love our weekly segments that we take on the road to area businesses, events, festivals, etc. Today we will be featuring Dr. Jodi Devonshire, owner of Bike Stop and the amazing things she has done with this gem of a cafe. Stop by if you are in the area for some breakfast, a coffee, tea or remember them for happy hour and dinner while shopping on Main Street. They are a destination spot when you hope off the famed Katy Trail. Bike enthusiasts, runners, walkers love this spot for fuel. We will talk about being a female owned business, what it takes to dream big and go after your doctorate and the drive it takes to run your own business and keep it going strong even in the toughest of times. If you love history, you will love the historical aspect of Main street and the location of Bike Stop just off the shopping district and a shuttle for Katy trail enthusiasts. Hope to see you, we have some giveaways for those who stop by!

Uh the weekend and we go into Easter weekend is it going to be a good one will the rain hold off I mean that’s what everybody’s asking you’re wearing a pretty hat actually let me know as you’re tuning in this morning if you’re brand new with the show tell me where
You’re watching from how you found us if somebody from today’s show that loves bikestop Cafe introduced you to us my my again utter Thanks goes out to everyone that shares and likes and follows our show that’s the biggest part part of having our growth not just here in our
Area but in states away and of course we couldn’t do it without you and we couldn’t do it without each and every one of our sponsors so thank you from the beginning and from the bottom of my heart since we launched back in March weatherwise so 67 it’s finally going to
Warm up have you been tired of the cold weather and the rain I’m gonna raise my hand and say yes I am as we head into the weekend we just want to feel like spring again are you wearing a big hat on Easter are you getting out the
Beautiful dress and the suits the kids getting all dressed up we don’t want them to be all dirty from the rain so I’m hoping that that rain will push off a little bit get the kids their Easter egg hunts in and then maybe if it rains
A little bit later into the evening that would be okay we’ll see as we head in towards Sunday so 67 and sunshine today doesn’t that sound nice tomorrow it’s going to be Breezy and partly cloudy but 75 for a high on Friday 76 and that rain
Chance does start to come in there is a slight chance and I do mean 20% chance of rain on Saturday now here here’s a deal though 50% chance of rain or storms on Sunday it’s all about the timing of when that will take place 76 for Easter
And then 77 rain and storms likely on Monday a little Breezy again Breezy on Tuesday that slight chance of am rain and storms and Wednesday 60 so we’re kind of up and down with regards to the temperatures but everybody’s looking at the weekend and how’s Easter going to
Look as far as the news you can use we’ve all been following the bridge collapse in Baltimore Maryland and now with the ongoing inves vation now it’s looking at to the levels of impact since that happened obviously the thoughts and prayers going out to those lives lost
And now it is what’s going to happen worldwide with the shipping and the cargo industry it’s also the amount of jobs that are temporarily on hold right on so many levels uh including all of those that were with that cargo company in the shipping if you did not hear
Baltimore Maryland is where that bridge collapse took place where that cargo ship ran into to the beam I was talking to my husband and now it makes more sense and I mentioned this on yesterday’s show we are very lucky if there is divine intervention that there weren’t more cars on that bridge but
There was a Mayday that had gone out prior to that which limited the amount of traffic that was on the bridge but again there were lives lost in our thoughts and prayers going out to them uh you know I was just mentioning my husband you know he’s a lieutenant with
The County police and we need more police officers good men and women out there and here’s what I love on Saturday at 9:00 a.m. at the St Louis County Police Academy which is in welston they are looking for you do you want to Serve and Protect do you have kids or
Grandkids or you know a neighbor kid that has said yes that’s something I’ve always wanted to do you know I heard my great nephew the other day we were moving my sister and he was inside the U-Haul truck and I said oh do you want
To be a UPS man like your daddy and he’s like I want to be a police officer oh that warmed my heart and my husbands as well he’s a little too young to be ready for that but hopefully he’ll keep that dream alive for for all of you that are
Ready 900 a.m. now they don’t want you to just show up that day they’re asking that you call and you want to register before so they can do a background check but hey your career could launch as a law enforcement officer and at least taking the steps of that on Saturday at
9:00 am so there’s a couple things in the news you can use now this I thought was funny maybe my husband wouldn’t think so but there was a police chase in California this is trending this morning of a young nine-year-old that was behind the wheel and he took the police on a
Chase for a while he didn’t know what he was doing he was just kind of going back and forth and then when the car finally did stop the officer got out was very guarded like what am I coming up to obviously you know taking care of themselves he saw this little head
Bopping around didn’t know if it was somebody younger if it was an elderly person that was just very small and he came up and he went to the window and looked at the kid and the kid said I’m so sorry I’m just trying to get to
School okay so what he did he took his mom’s keys while she was in the shower and he was trying to get himself off to school I don’t know if he was going to be late she was making him late or what happened but look for that trending
Story today that happened in California speaking of California the Cardinals by the way opening the season and Let’s cross our fingers that they have a better season this year they got a lot of injuries by the way I’ve got an interview coming up before our home opener with a longtime sports writer Rob

Honor well 14 years and I know a lot of people have come through your doors what are you most proud of in those 14 years you know the community that we’ve built here at bikestop Cafe the the cycling running healthy healthy healthy lifestyle community and of course all of
The amazing writers along the KY Trail right it’s it’s a destination for sure so if you’ve never been we’re gonna take you through but I just want to congratulate you you got your PhD three years ago what made you want to do that that is a loaded question okay
Good so give it to me well you know um it it comes a little bit there’s layers there’s layers um my mother had me at 15 and she never got her um degree in anything she never graduated high school so education was always impressed upon
Me that you know in order to get ahead in life you need to make sure you get an education um and so I ended up you know getting my Bachelor’s degree in teaching for a number of years and it they just kept going but it was really important
To me I was the first person in my family to graduate college I was the first person of course to get a master’s and a PhD and I felt like having daughters I have three daughters it was an important opportunity for me to to show them that women can excel at
Anything and and PhD is the highest degree you can attain so that’s what I wanted to do well let me bow to you Doctor Dr Jody devire we’re gonna talk about women-owned businesses we’re GNA talk about that entrepreneurial Spirit we’re gonna talk about longevity making it through the pandemic right there are
So many small businesses that need your help and that’s why we wanted to come here and that’s why we do mobile monikas because we truly do have incredible businesses incredible human beings that we need to shine that Spotlight on this show was all about positivity and here
We go I mean you also have gotten Awards like 50 most influential award tell us about that well um yeah 50 most influential women um in 2017 so that was quite an honor um and I think it just goes to show um that this community Embraces women and and women empowerment
And women business owners so that was really proud to be part of that group and that really is you know you hear people say that the breaking the glass ceiling I just like to say that it was really just one woman at some point that
Said well I can do that also right we’ve always heard it’s a man’s world it’s not it’s a man’s and a woman’s world it’s all the belief in yourself and I don’t want guys to go well hang on and what about us right it is you and it’s the
Support that a man and a woman do together and women do to women and men do to men it’s all about lifting each other up right oh my gosh and that that is really what it is you know my my you guys can’t see it here but my friend
Circle is here oh they will hang on we’re show the camera they’re all here to support me and and we support each other and I and and it sounds a bit of a cliche but I think it’s really really important as women that we have a a
Group of people that lift us up and we lift each other up okay you didn’t think we were going to show them there they are there is the group so what does that mean to you that they showed up and that every day you have the community show up
For you you know that that showing up who was it that said showing up is is 90 I’m going to get that wrong you know it means so much to me and I think it means a lot to um our community that we show up for each other yes once again if
You’re just tuning in we are live today at the bikestop cafe you want to tell them where you’re located we’re located at 701 South Riverside Drive so that is right ac across from the Louis and Clark statue at Frontier Park yeah we’re going to show you some pictures and we’ll also
Have our live camera out here as well if you’ve never been before I love the fact that you are a destination for those that love the Katy Trail you want to talk a little bit more about that the Katy Trail we are so lucky here in Missouri and really here in St Charles
To have the Katy Trail in our backyard it’s a 237 Mile railto Trail conversion it’s one of the longest in the United States and a big part of our business is we shuttle people out to the end of the trail or really anywhere that they want
To start on the trail and they ride their bikes back and there’s all sorts of wonderful small towns and lodging opportunities along the trail it is absolutely abolutely a gem you know so we get people from all over the world who do it you know it’s right in your
Backyard so I really encourage everyone to get out there and explore the Katy Trail it’s wonderful you can go across the entire state of Missouri how long is it 237 miles 237 and my husband just said oh that would really we’ve got to do that maybe
Maybe I wonder if they have bnbs and I was like honey I I think they took care of that already yes there’s all sorts of different lodging opportunities you know each little town was a railr is town is has been converted now to a cycling town so you’ll see everything from major
Hotels to Camping along the trail so it’s probably quite versatile how long have you had the shuttles we’ve done the shuttle service from the very beginning so 14 years we’re one of we’re at the oldest established shuttle service on the Katy Trail and so if anyone has
Heard of bik Stop Cafe had not been here before it’s really funny I was talking to a friend of mine that’s in Vegas and he said oh is it like a biker place and I said well cycling and he goes make sure you say that because maybe some
People thought it was a biker place has anybody ever said that to you you know there’s a similar place in Europe that is a a bike biker place so yes that does happen we do have to say cycling sometimes and and really everyone is welcome I was just going to say because
They they they might not want to go on the cobblestones with the motorcycle but they can come as well everybody is welcome here but yes look at all those bikes uh that are parked outside and just Gathering of the community that you’ve had and then bike rentals for the
Whole family yeah you know what’s really interesting is we’ve been renting bikes also for 14 years and the last four years we’ve rented more ebikes uh pedal assess bikes pedal assist bikes and any other bike so that’s really a booming part of our business that has been a bit
And I just always I used to laugh when I would see that and go come on you need to Pedal you need to do the work don’t let that happen for you I have a story okay so when we went down to Florida to visit my parents and I said you know
Your your um daughter owns a bike shop we really should get you use some ebikes and my stepmom who’s very fit she says oh no you know I I don’t think I could use an ebike I don’t won’t get exercise so just try it and she’s very polite and
Kind so she just politely accepted the gift and then the next time we came to visit their other bikes were gone we don’t even know where they were probably in the dumpster never saw them again she loves the ebikes and they she loves it because she can stay fit but she can go
Further yeah she can make make her way or if she has hard time getting back she can use the assist to get back I think it really helps lengthen your cycling life absolutely yes and it’s just again whether you’re a young kid I love to see
We went to Florida forever ago and I was like wow what a huge it was like in the Santa Bell area so many people biking and it’s fun to see all the different types of bikes isn’t it oh my gosh it’s great and so many bike companies are
Coming out so it’s really wonderful to see all these new new ideas like we have a new ebike that we’re testing out that is belt driven so it’s just a wonderful opportunity for smaller manufacturers to get out there and start uh getting into the cycling business all right I’ve got
Hannah who is here behind the scenes and she’s been showing you parts of the wonderful Bike Stop Cafe go to a little bit more of that and show around you want to walk us through this for people who’ve never been before and let’s let’s talk about your place sure very good so
A lot of people say is it a bike shop or a cafe which one came first you know is it so you know does it have bikes or does it have food so yes we are both we’ve always been both it was the brainchild of of my husband and kind of
The funny story is one night he said um you know I think we should do this and I said that’s the dumbest bleeping idea I’ve ever heard why no it was so smart so smart and I well I slept on it I woke up the next
Day and I said okay if we’re doing this we’re doing this right so that that’s how it started but the idea was we would go out cycling I’m sorry we would go out eating after mountain biking and we would end up at restaurants and bars which were wonderful but it would be
Mozzarella sticks and nachos of really heavy fatty fried foods which are great for profit margins for restaurants but not great for your bottom line literally so we thought you know after a nice ride and you feel great you that’s not the kind of food you want but you
Want that social cycling is a social opportunity cycling is very social um you know so people want to get out there and bike and run together right well they want a place where they can come afterwards and feel good about what they’ve eaten we have the the you know
We have the gooey buttercake you know we have all the the stuff that isn’t so good but that’s your special treat no see let’s talk about that life is about balance right right and so and you have a lot of Runners and cyclists and Walkers so they’ve earned the fuel they
Have and more than most people for sure yes and as a trainer I’m okay with it just don’t do it every single day but you have a good mix though you’ve got some healthy food here also we really do even some of our our treats are incredibly nutritious ious and then of
Course we we bring in the the higher quality ingredients all the fresh avocados and we make everything from scratch we bake all of our own bread so there are no preservatives and anything Hannah can you do me a favor can you go back to the table with all the goodies

Like I’ll do everything I can to help you and you know I’m here for you and that and that really emotionally and literally Lifted Me Up and that is why that promo says we need women to lift women up and so what did she do she
Reached out to me and said will you help my friend and so it’s women helping women helping women it’s all about paying it forward right ex it really is and and I I’m looking forward to the opportunity when I get to be there for someone else the way that my friends
Have been there for me you’re there honey you’re there Dr Jody devenshire again we’re visiting at bikestop Cafe Terry says how many hours or miles can you ride on an ebike that would be so fun we rode those in Colorado and loved it that great question so it does a little bit depend
On the ebike but typically you can get between 40 and 50 miles as long as you’re not using the assist a lot so if you’ve got the assist fully on and you’re not pedaling very much that number does go down but typically you can get about 40 50 and there’s another
Story by the way that is trending in the news today about a 25-year-old that just uh went around the world she started in September driving not on an ebike but she were driving in an electric car and she said did you see that yes 25 years
Old and I was like like first of all how do you have that much time on your hands I guess you just took off until you decided what you wanted to do for a living clearly does not have children exactly uh Lizzy spark says I love this

Chuck F3 that yeah so F3 is the group of gentlemen who come early on Mondays and Fridays so we appr yep y very very much appreciate those guys and and going back to the coffee I think it’s important to note that our coffee is all organic oh
Great which is really difficult to find um generally speaking so we’re really proud of that you know what I really love is I’ve never ever been a coffee drinker and so I used to think okay well then I probably wouldn’t go into a coffee house that is not true because
Coffee houses again open up to everyone you have really great teas here I’m drinking a little Jasmine you know I don’t do coffee but I love there’s something about a coffee house that’s just very warm and welcoming right right exactly and it well it sort of ss gives
You that sense of community yes you know I see people make friendships from table to table all of the time you know experiencing each other um kind of enjoying the cafe and and other amenities here and then talking about it who who’s this that just came in the
Door this is someone who’s really into cycling I think come on over join the broadcast uh Julianne says yay my friends and I just started a coffee group monthly trying a new shop each month and this is a great time to visit yes Julie get to have you Julie I bet

To tell you what’s on them you have to come into the shop and see come in and ask what’s on the black socks that you heard about uh again there’s a lot let let me actually have the camera showing you don’t show that one though Hannah be
A good girl we’ve got also and I’m not even as you know big as a cycler as the cycling Community but I love the did you cover it up you did I I love the cycling jerseys yes they have become really really popular over the years they
Really have and our cycling Jersey in particular is sort of becoming an iconic Jersey that a lot of people who finish the trail they want that Jersey we used to have a different style every year but then it got to the point we have this this jersey we created that people love
So much that they we’ve just been having the same Jersey it’s the the black and white with the Katy Trail logo it’s a really iconic Jersey and and what’s really fun is I’ve gone out of state and seen our Jersey and seen our t-shirt in in Florida and California and Utah you
Know all over and it’s just really it feels good because you know that people you know they were at the Katy Trail and they finished the Katy Trail absolutely and again there’s so much here as you are seeing from a gear standpoint just from fun jerseys to socks oh I love that
Fat tire sign yeah and Hannah gasman thank you so much for being a part of our team and she is field producing with us and and yeah right exactly uh to all of you want to make sure that you’re always heard and that we answer all your questions good morning Stephanie says
What a cool place Diane said it’s a great day to be in St Charles and stop on by to bikestop Cafe what’s Mike’s is that in the area I’m not familiar with M di you’re gon have to tell us what that’s all about Jody we can insure your
Business too oh are you insured we are very heavily insured good job though Marilyn always good job thank you I appreciate that K Kathleen says she’ll definitely visit soon msse R for women having fun she said I love the ladies and the coffee Kathy says what a cool
Place um oh Kim’s cabin thank you for dropping that in Michelle by the way Michelle and Jim and Hannah are all here helping out okay Diane says wow you need one of my hats for your birthday I’ll come by oh I I like peacocks okay I’m I’m try seriously you you’re gonna be
Blown away uh Julie asked do you do you do shorter trips do they do shorter trips good question absolutely so some people just want to go out to Augusta or Defiance for a day trip you have a couple of options we can drop you off
There and you can ride back or you can grab an ebike and you can do it an out and back of course you probably want to stay away from the wineries if you do that but it’s a really fun ride yes um Cindy says I love bik stop Jody and Tony
Have become great friends we’ve met so many wonderful people through bikestop events that’s Cindy so true yeah Cindy dear friend of mine um and yes actually Cindy when we first opened our very first store in Frenchtown it was 600 square feet we had no idea what we were
Doing I arguably still don’t yes you do Cindy uh came in off the street and bought we sold our first bike to her so she was that big and that was what began our friendship so you know that and I think that that’s really important to
Point out is when you go to big box stores and there’s a lot of advantages to them you know often pricing is one of them um but what you don’t get is that that Ser that lifetime service that you get with a small business and the friendship so now we’re biking together
You know almost all of my friends um have have come from a place of doing something we enjoy together and that that’s really powerful well Jody you know one of the things that we talk about in life is if you want more of positivity you want more of things that
You want that like you emulate and and you say gosh this person looks so happy in life and you want more of that you have to do what surround yourself with that those people that lift you up right you do you do not and and I’m GNA go on
A tangent because I’m an educator but there’s some research Doctor that that shows in education when kids are around um students who are underperforming they level down when they’re around students who perform higher they level up so really even as a a child as an educator putting kids
Around other kids that are more successful will help you be more successful amen and so I’m glad that it starts at a young age or it should encourage that by the way uh hello by the way and I love when I hear good evening did you know we have people a a
Huge Audience by the way that watches in the Philippines oh is that right well good evening to you yes so this is actually a new one and maybe Romeo is the one Romeo we love Romeo always signs on and says good evening ma’am so polite thank you we have people that have
Watched in Italy in Mexico Michelle actually came back last year from Malta so she had people watching in Malta whenever you actually go on vacation please take our show along listen to it maybe don’t have your earbuds on so other people can hear the the positivity message and just again continue to share
And like and follow uh they’re all saying they like the microphone Jim there’s more and more love the microphone what do men know that’s funny uh okay where do you get your coffee I think you mentioned you want to say that again no yeah that’s Mississippi Mud so it’s local
Roasted uh right here in Missouri well right here in St Louis so it’s it’s also a small business and that’s kind of part of what we try to achieve is when we select a product it’s really important to us that it hits at least one sort of
One of our value systems maybe it’s um organic perhaps it’s local made perhaps it’s women-owned you know maybe it’s all of those um you know perhaps it has um uh supports uh people with disabilities um maybe it’s minority owned you know anything that we can do that’s socially
Responsible we try our best to do that so that’s why we selected um Mississippi mud and it’s really important too I mean over the years so many people have asked us to start serving their coffee because of course you know we’ve grown over the years and and that would be a good um
Idea for them but we never have left Mississippi Mud because that relationship when we first started selling Mississippi Mud we had no idea how to brew coffee no idea how to make espresso they came in they trained us they helped us get equipment they really lifted us up so that relationship is
Important to me and we will never not sell Mississippi Mud Coffee that shows your integrity and that’s it you know and that’s if you go and again we’re not there’s never shame in life but if you go to big box stores it’s just so different and when you say oh it’s such
A shame to see this business closed or that business Clos it’s because you’re not supporting the local businesses so local businesses support other local businesses I love the community that’s formed in this area I mean one of the things that I absolutely love and we actually have some pictures of the
Writers around Christmas time the Santa writers it’s so much fun as you get into different holiday seasons especially around Christmas time this area is so lit up gorgeous is there anything big happening for Easter by the way no for Easter we really don’t do any rides or
Anything we close down for Easter so we can spend time with our family what’s your biggest holiday uh our biggest holiday in terms of business is probably Christmas okay um but unlike a lot of people on Main Street um Memorial weekend is also a pretty big holiday for
Us because that’s when people are really excited about getting outside and this is where they come when they want to do that and we’ve been all waiting for the gorgeous weather we mentioned your patio you’re also very dog friendly we are dog friendly that’s Elsie Lou she’s Elsie
The adventure dog and she loves to hang out on the patio she loves belly rubs but she’s also an excellent athlete she likes to mountain bike and she likes to run can we all just stop for a second did it not just say it just sounded like
She gave a description for a date for another dog she likes long walks on the beach and she’s looking for her long term mate so bik stop Cafe besides the aspect of coming in as we mentioned for breakfast like we are here right now there’s the bottle of wine how many
People just say I love to come here for a happy hour and just sit out and enjoy the view we see so many people doing that and really just sitting out there with a glass of wine overlooking the river overlooking Frontier Park and all of the activity that’s going on down
Here people we’re right in front of a walkway so you’re seeing people walk their dogs you’re seeing people go out for their runs it is just an a social experience simply sitting on the patio and again how gorgeous it looks as we get into spring and the flowers bloom oh
My gosh that’s my favorite time yes I just I’m chomping at the bit to get to the store and buy flowers and plant them I always plant them too early because I’m too impatient if you listen to our aspiring meteorologist backet more he warned you from getting out there I know
Everybody’s itching with the green thumb but there’s been so many people I’ve been watching in our neighborhood that have been planting their bulbs and I’m like because the freeze I mean we’re still talking about lows in the upper 20s yeah absolutely so take a deep breath have some patience
Don’t show up at the store and get plants not just not yet so again if you’re just tuning in we’re talking with Dr jod devenshire we’re at bikestop Cafe we got another giveaway to do we haven’t given away the balls no let’s do the balls so let’s do some balls okay let’s

How much you pay attention it’s 2010 it’s been 14 years in March we’re going to get to more of your comments and your questions that I see coming in right now but we’ve got another question and this is for all of you watching live to bring
You into bike saap Cafe this is for the peanut butter balls and the question is okay how did the Katie Trail Katie Trail get its name oh trivia Buffs first person with the correct answer how did the Katie Trail get its name people love trivia by the way it’s just amazing how
Many hundreds as you’re getting that question to come in Kathy en Selmo says I love my coffee and she also ask do you make your own pastries we do we make all of our own pastries at our Bakery in Frenchtown so bikestop Bakery is all our
Second location you can go in and get our pastries and coffee there or you can come here to the cafe and we have our full menu here what goes in those peanut butter Bowls by the way that is a secret recipe I’ve dang iter a lot of money I
Probably could have retired on honey how much money do you have on you we’re trying to get the secret the peanut butter balls uh we’re going over to show the counter and the wonderful pastries there they are that they are making here uh Lisa who is watching by the way I
Mentioned she needed to come in for the pickle ball socks she’s gonna come in she said I want those socks do you want us to set them aside for you how many do we have oh we got a bu we also have pickle box pickle ball pickle box that’s
A new game by the way a pickle ball Pro socks which are my personal favorite and then Body by pickle ball oh yeah there you go so I that is you play by the way well well I wouldn’t say play but you have done it I
Finally did it at the retreat with Sally Drake and I loved it yeah it is a lot of fun okay um so so okay hold on one second so Sally get me the socks where’s Sally Lisa wants those socks okay Sally said she will get you the pickle ball
Socks there you go um Michelle said she loves the ball caps may contain alcohol and I cannot adult today great gifts yeah think about gifts for upcoming birthdays or I like the just because because you were thinking of someone you love that’s so true doesn’t have to be
Something special you know we absolutely have a a everything you need to get you on the trail and running everything we’re full service bike shop so tubes Wheels tires flat repair kits all bottle cages whatever you need for that helmets Etc but we also have that hard to find
Gift for that cyclist or outdoor Enthusiast that you’re just I don’t know what to get the guy who has everything or the girl who has everything come to bik stop we’ll have something really fun for them do you have cushions for the so it doesn’t hurt your butt yes we do we
Have some of the best seats around how many times have I told my friend Sally God I really would love to cycle with you but dang it it hurts can we just be honest let’s be real here it hurts down there it does it does oh I’m sorry I got
To build up my callus she said I don’t know that my husband wants a call I want this is what I couldn’t do in TV folks and it’s why I walked away you know and and speaking of um the the seat hurting it’s you can come in and because
We’re part of that cycling Community you can talk to me or any one of the other staff about what strategies you can use to help with those kinds of problems because there’s a lot of things you can do besides building calluses that can help you have a more comfortable ride
Yeah it really is because I went from just having a regular bike to getting a road bike my husband said the other day Monica this is the year and I love it because he and I are really I mean with how busy I’ve gotten with you know starting this this business and you
Understand that from taking the leap and doing it it’s it takes a lot of time away from your family and friends very much so and and understandably but there’s it’s all about the support system knowing all right you’ve got to do this and I’m gonna be behind you but
He did mention we need to get back on the bikes and I said well don’t think we can just jump on them because they’ve been sitting there like wipe the cobwebs off and let’s make sure that they’re all tuned up and ready to go that’s important right that’s really important
Um because here’s the thing you will get on your bike it won’t be a great experience you’ll put it in the garage and you won’t get on it again so do yourself a favor get it tuned up so that it’s shifting well and riding well because I know when I first started
Cycling my bike wasn’t I wasn’t getting it tuned up and I thought it was me I thought well I I don’t enjoy riding because you know it just I always feel like I’m working too hard and nothing’s working on my bike right or maybe I’m
Doing it wrong but once I started to get higher quality bikes that were getting tuned up my writing opportunities open greatly yeah you want to have a good experience you don’t want right you don’t want to put it back down and go okay right if you’re just tuning in it
Is 7:50 Bike Stop Cafe in St Charles is where we are we’re going to get to our trivia question for the peanut butter balls and then we’re going to give away the chocolate covered ones to those who decided to get up early and come here in
Person we want to thank both of you hi Carol peacock feathers she’s got it for you Diane said great Terry said she’s gonna let the planning begin can’t wait to get the group together and ride uh should we have a Monica Adams ride oh
Well yeah okay see all you have to do is ask and I say okay okay let’s do it uh Linda if we start at your shop and ride out to Augusta and have too much to drink will you come pick us up may not be able to drink and ride yes the answer
Is yes right yeah you might want to plan for that maybe schedule ahead of time but yeah we can absolutely come get you and Mississippi Mud someone said is the absolute best they really are and what a great company I mean again super supportive and small and I I have
Another story I was hesitant to to share but I I think it it is kind of important when we first opened and didn’t know a lot about what we were doing I I wanted organic I knew what I wanted and I knew I could do it but we sort of looked to
Sort of the outside world like we didn’t know what we were doing and I mean to some degree that was true um but it’s one of those things like but you don’t know who I am right you don’t know what I’m you know who I am ree Witherspoon
Said that one time by the way look up that story so I reached out I won’t name the company and actually they’re out of business now and I said I would really love to have your coffee at I think it’s exceptional and they came and and
Visited our place and sort of R stuck up their nose and said you know well I don’t I don’t think that this is where we went our coffee and or our espresso and I said okay well you’re lost buddy and so then we met with Mississippi mud
And he came in and just I literally gave us um product that we could use in term I’m sorry equipment that we could use and trained us on everything he hand delivers our coffee whenever we need it he brings it out to us so you can buy it
In the grocery stores and I highly recommend it because you’re not only getting some of some great local roasted coffee you’re getting good people good people’s what it’s about and by the way that person who turned up their nose karma is that you know what they are not in business there you
Go see uh Chris Shannon says I love bik Stop Cafe always get my bike service there oh thank you Chris I really appreciate that and I I hope that you always get out and ride also uh Lisa best coffee organic and they also have pods that are completely recyclable and

Question again which where is it oh that was the she lost her question so this is going to be to one of you that’s watching online right now so it is besides scenic routes Missouri has several oh has one velodrome what is a velodrome and can
You name a city in Missouri that has one so somebody said Penrose place that’s it oh Lisa come on in and get your socks and your $25 gift card was she the first oh she wasn’t okay I’m sorry Lisa you’re G to get some socks but you’re not the
First okay hold on let me let me go back wow you had a lot of answers okay okay Stephanie sorry Stephanie you get it Stephanie is a big did she win already or no oh no no Stephanie so who’s the next one Terry congratulations Terry you’re the winner Lisa sorry but
You did get you you’re getting some socks from from Jody and Lisa so Terry you are the winner so yes it is in fact okay but what is a velodrome tell them so a velodrome is um think of like a NASCAR except the uh sides are are
Cantered so it’s you start on a bike that has no brakes and you do a standing start and you take off around the vdrome and centrifugal force keeps you moving within that velodrome to the point where when the cyclists are banking the curb they are actually totally vertical is
That what we see sometimes with the motorcycle yes well that’s a dome so this is just a an oval with high Banks and they use that high Banks to build that centrifugal force and from the the science teacher in me I’ll give you this
So if you take okay if you take this is what happens so if you you imagine yourself with a a bucket filled halfway with water um if you tipped it over it would fall out right you tie a string to that put your imaginary string to that
And start spinning around the handle is TI the string is tied to the handle you start spinning around and spinning around spinning around the bucket gets straight along the horizon and that water does not come out of the bucket okay so that’s what happens on that vrum that that that centrifugal force keeps
The riter on the trail science it’s all about science thank you for all the education today and again sorry Lisa that I jumped the gun there but it is Tracy H sorry Terry Terry who got the correct answer correct Terry good job Terry good job to all of you by
The way that answered the questions but Terry is the one uh you should talk about your cycling and running teams oh yes so we have a charity teams so a lot of bike shops have cycling teams that enter in races and win races but that’s really doesn’t really fit our model so
