Hey Karen,
You'll have to let me know how it is. We did not go in last night because of the snow and my son has gymnastics State Championships today which they never cancel. I am so bummed. They are saying 10 inches of snow for us today.
Hubby and I are shooting for tomorrow. I have a relative from Norway here this weekend who only brought spring clothes. She told me this morning they don't have any snow in Norway. Maybe because Its ALL HERE!!!!!! :mad:

I went to the show last night. I have to say i was disappointed; I imagined a much larger set up. Everything was nice, etc, but most of it you could see in a good bike shop or on the net. Maybe I am jaded... I look at this stuff all of the time. There were some interesting weird bikes there (unicycles, etc). Had a great dinner out at Hammerly's Bistro, next door. The snow was not bad, in fact there was just driving sleet and wind. Today is another story!

Jody, and Robin:

I thought the show was o.k. but was disappointed in the turnout of vendors. My son came along specifically to see Bianchi and they were not there. My husband asked where Shimano, Bianchi and all the others listed that were not to be seen and one of the sponsers said "Oh, if they have come in the past we still put their names up." I didn't buy anything but did
spend alot of time time with the guys from Polar because I am interested in the watch. I also ran into a friend who told me he saw Tyler Hamiltons dad
and everyone is confident he will be acquitted this week (yeah!)

Well we opted not to go after reading Robyn's post. I would have gone to see the vendors listed and I think its false advertising if they weren't even there.
Chin up girls, the first day of spring is next week and it might actually get in the 40s.

I am hoping to get out this weekend... the temp. looks OK, but the roads around here are still sandy as a beach, full of slush at the edges, and melting everywhere. I am petrified of the sand, especially. Maybe it will rain and wash it away. Here's hoping.
