Anyone going? How about demo days?
Dh and I are attending. I can't wait! This will be my first Interbike. We plan on going to the Tue Demo Day.
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!
If you're heading to the demo days, I'll be in this jersey so please stop me and say hi!

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!Quote:
