One of the benefits of traveling is being able to sample pieces are local culture and cuisine. This year’s WPTA Conference and Trade Show took me to Casper, WY, and while it is a very short trip for me I have been able to squeeze in a couple local hangouts. I decided on Poor Boys Steakhouse for dinner and the Wonder Bar for a local brew.

Poor Boys Steakhouse is definitely unique. It was a lot of food. A relish boat, salad, bread, steak, and loaded baked potato. It was an extremely satisfying meal after a long day of travel and a trade show.

After the meal, I was craving a local brew. Wonder Bar did the trick. It was a nice atmosphere with very friendly folks. I settled on an Red Ale and it was a nice end to the evening. The saying on their shirt was, “It’s more fun to eat at a bar than drink at a restaurant.” Sadly they would not sell me one.

I wish I had the time to squeeze in a run downtown, but it wasn’t in the stars this trip.

The airport is surprisingly different in the daylight. I saw some deer and a nice sunrise. A great sendoff. Thanks Casper, WY. Thanks WPTA.

The Wyoming Pupil Transportation Association (WPTA) has put on another successful trade show this year in Casper, WY. The foot traffic was good and the conversations were great. Every year is it such a great group of industry professionals. I always look forward to the event and the company. Thank you to everyone who stopped by the STS booth. I hope we can help you reach your training goals in the coming year.

STS Team Bikes and Rack Test Fit

When we started planning out our participation in this cycling relay, I thought it would be easy — drive to New Orleans, LA, jump on a bike, and ride to Pensacola Beach, FL. It is the thousand little things that will get you. I spent the weekend prepping our main bikes and our spare bikes, finalizing the fit of the “new” bike rack, and planning the team food and water for during the event. I’m exhausted and we only did a short 30 mile training ride.  The team is really excited!
