She Got Bike! Fest

[Xrayted]

Glad to give you a laugh. I'm sure it looked funny but still I'm glad no one saw/heard it.
I got there late for the lectures and afterwards had to get going. I had to get home to clean up the bike, eat and nap before a b-day party tonight for the one who slept through the ride. I don't think she deserved a gift after having stood me up, but she's a whiner so...
Next year, we definitely should do a TE ride there. By then, I may actually be able to keep up with some of you.

Ow! So sorry to hear about your fall. (I saw one woman that looked like she got scraped up a bit on her arm while I was at the Trek tent getting my bike fixed. If that was you, I did see you laughing so I'm glad to see/hear you are ok.)

I heard a couple of the lectures (She Got No Pain (how to stay pain free on bike) and She got Ahhhh... (about massage therapy)) and both were really good. (And, as extra bonus, the massage therapist guy wasn't bad to look at, either.) They were presented very casually and "off-the-cuff" and took a lot of questions at the end...which I liked. The "She Got Fame" (about pro-cycling) lecture was being presented while I was eating and I was having trouble hearing her from where I was sitting. It was sort of loud with the music and ambient noise going on.

The fashion show was good because they talked a little bit about the new materials and the versatility of the outfits, jackets, etc. And...they didn't just show the booty hugging bike short outfits. I left after the fashion show so I didn't see any other lectures after that.

The exhibitors were also very interesting - school of nursing (there to do some blood pressure testing, etc.), jewlery makers, a documentary film crew there to talk about their upcoming film about a women who biked around the world, massage therapists, Pearl Izumi and Joe's Bike Shop had apparell...just to name a few of the exhibitors.
