Interbike and CrossVegas has become an annual event for the wife and I. Sadly they are moving Interbike to Anaheim, CA next year but I think Vegas will still be an annual trip for us. Since we are not big gamblers we head out to Vegas just to lay by the pool, eat fantastic meals, check out a show or two and just chill. Mission accomplished, we had the best time. Our close friends were along for the trip so we enjoyed their company as well as checking out a great variety show and killing some sushi one night.
The bike show was fantastic as always, there is more bike porn, and bike/tri related material then you can begin to imagine. It is really sick what is available in the industry. I made some great contacts, especially with a wheel company, and continued to grow the strong relationship with Aerocat bikes. I may be getting set up on one of their TT bike for the spring. Two suggestions, we all need to take a trip out to Vegas just to get away and chill, and we must get you all to Interbike.
CosssVeags is the kickoff of the Cyclocross season, all the pro men and women lining up to start off the season. I love being around professional athletes and seeing how physically fit and focused they are. When they line up to race, it is a day a the office for most of them. These folks put in some serious work. A former LWC athlete Tim Johnson is the reining National Champion. It is so cool to have a great friend that allows you on the inside of the racing scene. Hanging out at the trailer, getting to know his teammates, and getting the inside scoop on other teams and individuals is a pretty cool experience. Please check out Tim and his teammates at http://www.cyclocrossworld.com/ and also at http://www.cannondale.com/ just click on the link for cyclocross news. Teammates Tim Johnson, Jeremy Powers, and Jamie Driscoll simply kick ass week in and week out, follow them on twitter as well, they are fun to follow. These guys will be racing in Louisville on OCT. 23rd and 24th. Make it a point to come out with your family and cheer them on. http://www.usgpcyclocross.com/ is the link for the pro and amateur schedule and has all the information for the Louisville Derby City Cup. This is just a taste of what will be coming to Louisville in 2012 when the WORLD Cyclocross Championships touches down in the US for the first time ever. Louisville will be at the center of the cycling universe so make plans to come out.
