UPDATE: I received a few questions about the route, so I added the map below.

We're celebrating Labor Day here in the US. And, while this is typically a day of rest for many people, there are several people at TechSmith who are definitely laboring this weekend! And while they're not logging time in at the office, they are spending time on the road.

In Michigan, we have an annual bicycle tour every Labor Day weekend called the DALMAC. Riders start at Michigan State University in lovely East Lansing and end in Mackinaw City or DeTour Village, Michigan. Depending on the route they choose, riders trek between 300 to 400 miles or more!

One of the nice things about working at TechSmith is that fellow TechSmithies enjoy not only working together, but also spending time outside of work together. And, this weekend is no different. We have several TechSmithies participating in the DALMAC Bicycle tour this weekend together. Good luck to the riders from TechSmith - Dewey Hou, Vice President, Product Development, Katie Lewis, Product Marketing Manager, Stacey Hansen, International Marketing Manager, Andy Rudnitsky, Software Engineer, Brian Lesperance, Sales Manager, and Brent Beckman, Channel Account Manager.

Check out this short video I made using Animoto with TechSmithies at the office cheering on our DALMAC riders plus some pics from the tour. Special thanks to Kelly Larson, our Channel Account Manager, for taking lots of pics at the office and of the TechSmith riders on the tour! There are lot of funny signs of encouragement mixed in with the pics. Enjoy!

Hope you enjoy this little peek behind the curtain at TechSmith! And, you are always welcome to visit us if you'd really like to see what happens behind the scenes. We love visitors! Just e-mail me. You can meet the teams, we'll take you to lunch, and maybe even on a bicycle ride - the ride would be less than 300 miles, I promise! :-)
