Bike Expo Report

[Aint Doody]

I cannot believe I missed every last one of y'all! I was there for 9 long hours on Saturday. Then Sun. I was to be there from 1 until 4. And, yep, I was about 15 minutes late--friend & I standing in the check out line at REI spending dividends & using coupons!

As soon as I got there and relieved the crew, I raced over to Redmond's booth, and Mimi--you had been gone about 20 minutes, the fellow said. I did leave you a little note and had to give the fellow a kiss on the cheek for him to give it to you! What a character!!

And our CROC people told me about y'all stopping by. I was soooo looking forward to meeting everybody. I wore my buff both days and watched necks for others!

It was a terrific Expo. We even got 5 people to sign up for our ride. We usually get quite a few after the Expo, but never before during. Hope some of y'all will think about it. It's a great ride--and cheap! $110 for 3 days--fully supported. (Man, I'm tired of the spiel, but I cannot seem to quit!)

As the others have said, there were lots of gorgeous bicycles to drool over. And there was fun stuff to see and to try. And Susan, last year I got on the Emotion rollers--and I bought one. I've never regretted it. That young man rode it all day both days last year, too. The little narrow one sorta scared me--the young woman fell off it while I was there visiting on Sat.

The whole Expo experience is just great. Everybody should try to get there if possible. Cascade Bicycle Club is to be applauded for hosting such a marvelous event.--And, of course, Seattle ain't bad either rain or not.

Aint,
WHICH guy did you kiss, the tall good looking one or the short chubby one?
PLEASE tell me it was the tall good looking one!

Aint . . . glad to hear you got one of those emotion rollers and that you love it because my daughter and my hubby think it will do the trick for our indoor riding needs! Joe said we will just have to buy one to help get us through those rainy, windy, yucky days next winter!

Well, Mimi, he was seated. I think if he'd been tall & good-looking I'd remember that. I do think he was the chubby one. Oh, no!!! What have I done???? He didn't ask for my phone number.

And, Susan, the emotion rollers are great. The fact that they "float" in the frame makes a big difference. It took me quite a while to feel comfortable on them and not totally petrified. During the yuck weather I usually ride 13 miles in the morning before work 2 days/week and about 25 on Sat or Sun. It's an amazing work out. Get a fan to blow on you. Keep me posted.
