Happy Halloween, Tricksters! Watch out for the fake chocolate....ORBC is still only open on Friday and Saturday for now, but that will change in the future. 3 years ago, I commemorated the bicycle shop's 50th anniversary from 1973 to 2023, and today, I'll do the same for my tenure at this joint. from November 1st, 1976 to my 50th anniversary, tomorrow, November 1st, 2026. I gotta admit that 2026 has been rough on me personally, but I made it to gold. There was no long term plan for this milestone, there really never was a plan at all. Couldn't have done it without a lot of help from a lot of different people, and I thank you all for your bike shop time. Lots of good stories and memories can happen in 50 years. I'll always treasure most of them. Thank you to 50 years of customers that kept the lights on, and the doors open. I've made a lot of friends here over the years. Now on to next week, and next month, and whatever the future brings. Thank you all, Bill.
