The sip stream is a cool idea for nerds like me that like hands free, and who doesn't like the front aerobottle. BUT you have to use their water bottle to make it work. I do like the functionality of the front straw and clamp tho. very easy to manuever. But my never reach holds 64 ounces, and this one you would have to swap out bottles.

As for Norman, boy was he a JERK to me. I didn't like him much since I saw him throw a hissy fit in kona a few years ago on the nbc coverage. And then last year when he spoke bad about Macca at the post race press conference, I really had a bad feeling about him. Well my feeling was RIGHT.
He was just a big ol jerk! I'm going to be rooting for Macca (or anyone for that matter) to kick his butt this year!! I SOO hope that madame pele shows him what karma is!

Anyway, yeah Interbike was cool. LOTS of work, and I came home with BOXES of stuff! Mostly new dealer kits and brochures. But I did score some cool swag as well. In fact we won a GO PRO video camera. It mounts on your wrist in a waterproof housing (to 100 feet!), but the helmet bracket is coming out in mid November, so we can turn it into a helmet cam. It's WAY cool!
