I went to Cyclefest 2008 (http://thebikelane.com/page.cfm?PageID=424) at a local park here in the area on Sunday despite constant drizzle and high 40's temperatures. I learned a lot, met a new person or two, and apparently won a pink Saris Bones bike rack!! I'm not sure of all the details but I know it was a Saris and that it was pink.

They left a voicemail on my office number yesterday that I just got today and haven't yet talked to anyone about it but I'm so excited! DH has already said he isn't going to drive the car if it has a pink rack which suits me just fine. We have a hitch rack on the Camry and a dinky-trunk rack from Wal-Mart on my old Sentra. Needless to say, it'll be replacing the rack from Wal-Mart on my Sentra. I've been wanting a Bones because I have a spoiler and need the clearance and now I have one and it's pink!

Hey, that's a nice rack even if it is pink (said the woman who bought a bike based on pink accent color)

Does it replace the rack I saw?

Zen, no. it doesn't replace the hitch rack on the Camry. Instead it will replace the dinky rack on my Sentra that is such a bad example of a bike rack it shouldn't even be called that.

I imagine whenever I drive that car around I'll be hard to miss. ;)

Inquiring minds want to know: does it match your car :D?

Better yet, will there be any clashing of colors between said bike rack and the bike? Naw, just makes the bike look even better I'm sure..:) Congrats on winning such a cool looking bike rack!

My sister bought a Saris rack last summer. It is a VERY nice rack. If I didn't already have a decent enough bike rack I would buy one of those! bikerHen

CONGRATS!!! And I repeat the key questions:
What color is the car? What color is/are the bike(s)? :D

LOL Unfortunately, the pink does not match my very blue Sentra.

The color is like this:

And my bike is dark grey with yellow accents. I think it's safe to say I'll be hard to miss.
