Hubby, I and a friend are going. We won't be going to demo days - can't get away from work that long and also I will just had laser surgery (a recorrect) so I won't be able to ride anyway.:(

I went last year. I was overwhelmed. Just a hint... don't try and do it all in one day. Have a plan and stick to it. Know why the celebrities are attending and make your plan around that. Don't be afraid to take photos and get autographs. Everone I met was great!!!! Ran into Bob Roll and George Hincapie on several occasions. And don't be afraid to pick up swag... lots of great stuff tobe had!!!!

bcipam - You are right - this can be overwhelming. This is my third year attending. I usually return completely exhausted. I will be riding both days with appointments scheduled all Wednesday and most of Thursday. I will attend the women's event Thursday night. I try and pick up as much free swag as possible - that's what my 2nd suitcase is for!!!

This will also be my first Interbike as hubby bought a bike shop about a month ago. Also my first trip to Vegas. Looking forward to it and hoping to see Bob Roll!

Did everyone enjoy Interbike? I had a blast! I got to meet several cycling celebs and thought I'd share some that I got pics with. George and Thor are such cuties! Enjoy!

How do you GET IN??? We have always wanted to go to Interbike, but I thought you had to be an actual employee of a cycling related store or something...??

You have to be a retailer or distributor or something like that. My hubby and I own a bike shop so that's how we got to go. I did see a few people with guest badges. Not sure what those mean.

Hey, if you are in that shirt are you affiliated with Alpine shop? I was planning on stopping there this weekend. Seems like no matter what I search for on the net, the Alpine shop comes up in the search!
