Vegas Baby, Vegas!

LAS VEGAS - It has begun [famous last words, right?]. I've landed and have already met some interesting people.

Sean Weide can take pride in the fact that the three members from Cycle Works in Lincoln, NE, all knew of his work through Nebraska Cycling News.

But Johlene Hess, owner of East Coast Bicycle Academy in Harrisburg, VA takes the prize for independence and cycling passion. She showed up without accomodations [at least until her brother shows up tomorrow] after her husband decided not to head to Interbike this year. As such, she headed straight for Bootleg Canyon, for the OutDoor Demo Days (more later), right from the plane.

The Night Time is the Right Time...
I can honestly say that Vegas wouldn't be my top choice for a vacation spot. But there's something to be said about a place that seems to "rest" when the sun is up, and comes alive when illuminated by scores of incandescent colored lights. What that statement is I'm not yet quite sure?

More to come...
