Hincapie is just HOT!

Just to clarify: didn't say George was standoffish - just very quiet and shy - no personality. I tried to engage him in conversation and he just sat there. A friend commented after "that's why he is only number 2..." behind Lance's 1.

Bob Roll is as you can imagine and after meeting him, I have an even bigger crush. My type of guy... funny, engaging, friendly, full of personality. Be still my heart!

Mr. Merckx was fine... I was with a friend who spoke French and was able to engage him in conversation.

Re Interbike: It is definitely an industry trade show but I found it surprisenly easy to get in. I had a friend get my badge. The friend builds bikes, but uncertain what credentials he has. If you truly want to go, ask your LBS to get you a badge. It's amazing how large the show is and all the giveaways - lots of booty!

Not certain if I will go again next year. I hear in 2007 its coming back to Anaheim, CA so might try again then.

So cool! My bike tech. that works on our indoor bikes went with his wife and since I have to live vicariously through my friends I asked her all about it. She was totally amazed at how small George Hincapie was and I had to remind her that a lot of the riders around here aren't racers and so...tend to think keeping their bikes really, really light will compensate for the actual poundage they're trying to haul up every hill.

After hearing how easy it is to get a badge, I might ask my tech. if he can get me one for the next Interbike. That would be a very, very special vacation!

It is VERY easy to get badges. (Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!!) My LBS offered them to me the last two years. Maybe sometime I'll take them and have a look around!
