John Brunow Visits bikes@vienna!

The old gang together again - Tim, John, Al, Bruce and Java

Yesterday afternoon, we had some very special guests - John Brunow, founder of bikes@vienna, his wife Ces, their daughter Sarah (who still lives locally) and Java, everybody's favorite chocolate labrador!

For those of you who don't know, John moved back to Iowa in December to be closer to his parents. He and Ces now make their home in Jefferson, IA, where Ces grew up, and are living in a house built by her grandfather. In a few weeks, John will be opening All Ability Cycles, his new shop right in the heart of Jefferson, convenient to the Raccoon River Valley Trail .

It was great to see everyone. John and Ces both look very happy and healthy, and Java was her usual happy, wiggly, playful self. Show that dog a tennis ball and she's in heaven. After a short visit to the shop they drove on down to Richmond to visit their son and grandson. They'll return Monday, when John and I will work to pack up a few more things he's taking with him. You might stop by to say hi if you're in the area.
