First of all, a HUGE THANKS to everyone who made the Bike Expo so amazing. Vendors, sponsors, visitors, seminar givers, racers, hardy folk who braved the snow, you are all FANTASTIC and we couldn't have done this without you. And thanks to Steve who let me display his Bar Mitzvah photo in our booth. No clear photographic evidence of it remains, however. Coincidence? I THINK NOT.
It's that blurry beardless picture in the back
Here's a great video by Road Holland about the whole thing.

Now that the booth is dismantled and the hangovers are a distant memory, what's on our minds?
Well, kittens,
I hope their new adoptive parents kept their names: Spartacus, Cadel Evans and Victoria Pendleton
Our awesome new addition to the team, Naomi Littell,
That's her looking colorful on the right
And....
Hopefully the see-saw will return.
This year we'll be concentrating on a little more safety (our goal is to have as many toes and fingers leave at the end of the day as arrived- no more, no less) and a LOT more speed. That means smaller heats and better organization. There will be an online registration option up soon, which will make things cheaper and smoother so please use that.
If the above makes it sound like we're getting stodgy and boring in our old age, no worries. There will be plenty of mud, unpleasant obstacles, bonfires of questionable safety, good music and great company. SPEAKING OF MUSIC, if any band wants to provide live musical encouragement, get back to us.
And if you're not into racing there's always....
Beeeeeeer!
So no excuses. See you there.
