Dear Friends,
I had some good weather for the Road Pitch and listened to about 10 different pitches for businesses ranging from an innovative energy management solution to modular exercise facilities built from shipping containers. It was good to connect with the other riders. This event has really grown. I was one of the inaugural riders a few years ago and we had about 10 riders then, all entrepreneurs or investors. This year there were over 50 riders at the kick-off event at Green Mountain Harley Davidson.
I am off to my home town of Chicago to catch a couple of the Cubs games. The Cubbies are on fire right now in their quest to repeat as national champs.
I quickly added the information that Apple had eliminated the iPod Shuffle and iPod nano last week. Sorry to see these devices go but most people are using their iPhones for music now. But we did score some of the remaining units and will have some for sale while supplies last.
I will be reviewing the Apple 3rd quarter financials below but suffice it to say that Apple desurfaced the street and left the kind of grooved pavement that motorcyclists hate behind. They posted amazing results and grew across the board. Good job, Apple!
