Since the inception of this blog I have been taking my dream of a owning a café closer to reality. To create the café I invision will take a great deal of time, money and planning, not to mention an expansion of my collection.
Many, many years ago I had the idea that I would like to own and run a small deli/ café. I have always loved cooking, eating and the café culture. After many a ride I would enjoy hanging out at the local coffee shop. Saturday rides were frequently to a café several towns over, stop and have a treat, then return home. In Europe I would also visit many a café during, before and after rides. I just plain like cafés.
My mom being the insightful woman she is, gifted me a plaque one birthday in hopes that in the future it would hang above my restaurant. Well the restaurant was not to be but the café will and one day I hope to get a picture of her underneath that plaque. 
At one time in my life the idea of the café had transcended to a romantic ideal of my retirement vehicle, but as time speeds along I have begun to believe that this is an idea I want to happen sooner than retirement. No longer do I wish to delay and therefore deprive the world of my tasty coffee blends and sumptuous treats. Nor do I wish to amass a collection of Time Trial equipment to be relegated to my garage and the visual inspection of the chosen few. No, with marriage comes changes in ones priorities and plans for the future. My plan has now become to support my wife though her education and when we have decided on where we are settling down, then I will begin the process of opening the café.
