Well, for the 2nd year in a row we had a very successful Trek/Fisher demo. I started to take photos, but as Elizabeth said yesterday, "you take fewer photos if you are having a lot of fun". I think you said that right Elizabeth? The day got a little hazy around 3:30 when I decided it was my turn to partake in the cold refreshing beverages behind the Trek trailer.
We had well over 100 people show at the demo yesterday, which surpassed our numbers from last year. I think the most popular bikes to be test ridden were the two Superfly's...a carbon 29'er hardtail. I even demoed my own personal Fisher Rig out for the day. I think I had four people test the single speed. Other popular bikes riden yesterday were the 69'ers, the Trek Fuel 9.9 Ex, the Fisher Rosco and HiFi pro 29'er, the Trek Madone, and the Trek Remedy. I unfortunately did not get to test ride any bikes due to the fact that I was in charge of checking all the bikes in and out as they were ridden. It is okay though because the only bike I really wanted to ride was the Fisher Superfly and they didn't have it in my size.
Yesterday I was also politely dropped from my 12 hour team that I raced on last year, the Menstral Cycles. The gals have decided they want to go very low profile this year and take the race a lot less seriously than they have in past years. I am fine with this because I would really like to see just how many laps I can do on my single speed. Smap did 9 laps last year and I think he wants to possibly try to better that number...I think I may shoot for 7 or 8. We'll see....
That is about it for today. My knee hurts from standing for 12 hours yesterday. I did get a great ride in on Saturday, which was good. I am looking forward to a lot of good fall rides this year! See ya...
