Headed to vegas

after hanging out in Missouri for what seems like way too long. Im headed to vegas on monday ( or thats the plan) for Interbike 2007. I should be caravaning out with Troy and our boss, Andy. Hopefully all goes well on our way west. Ive got my logbooks up to date truck is running good, and starts up like a charm. I know its going to be a lot of work (building 150 bikes YIKES!) I am looking forward to it though as former co workers will be meeting up out there, on lives there, one works for specialized, on works for bike-a-log. and then the bike shop guys who are on their way out there. I havent been to interbike yet, granted i believe im getting the shaft and spending the entirety of my time at Outdoor dirt demo. but can you really complain when for the past 2 weeks youve been in Missouri at the Gateway cup and Tour of Missouri? I wont complain I promise.

im in kansis city now, grand junction colorado is the plan for tonight.

Breakfast?

I dont know why, but breakfast definately is not my favorite meal of the day. most of the time it makes me feel sick to eat it. For example today im in kansas city, Missouri, and i got room service because i had to work early and i know its the only way ill get something to eat before the demo is over for the day (but thats another story all together) 2 scrambled eggs, hash browns, and bacon. Toast, wheat toast, there wasnt even an option for white bread? any way enough bitching about that. im changing my reservation today, i dont belong at this hotel. and not much parking for my truck either. well see if its still on the street when i get there. (wait did i mention im paying 10 bucks a day for internet?)

on the other hand i spent a good period of time in St. Louis for Gateway cup and my days off. There is a good cycling scene there which is great. Troy was around so i got proper introductions. Hung out with team dogfish http://dogfish1.com/. they make some cool tshirts.

Ive been a little bummed out lately, and i think i can attribute it to a lack of riding and working. too much time not doing stuff is not fun. on a very positive note, check this out.

these guys were at gateway cup and i think we helped in total about 3 of them. they were great and most importantly they were happy we were there to help them. ive got to go to work now.

Bicycle racing

Im out in St Louis right now. doing the Gateway cup race. well working it. troy was here for the first day. thats always good. we went shooting at a local range. that was a good way to relieve some stress. 200 rounds of .40 going through a .50 cent piece of paper.

there is some talent here too. lots to look at..... i wouldnt have it any other way. the best part about this is the fact that its not just a one day event. its a multi day event. so i get to see the same people which is always better then a one day event. after this its onto some dealer visits then the tour of missourri.

well im gonna get back to my beer.
