Wiley from @practicalpedal threw this #bikepolo video together thursday after some games at #Interbike. http://is.gd/3J2hLl
Reading the second Brooks Reader. Think that we need a semi-formal ride through #Bozeman. Not enough tweed in Montana to do a tweed ride.
Woke up at 1030, taking it real easy today. Until #bikepolo at 4, at least.
Spending the morning reading about bikes and drinking coffee. I love bikes. I. love people who ride bikes.
Spending the morning reading. I highly recommend Bikemonkey. Picked up a couple of issues at #Interbike. bikemonkey.net
Overhearing a conversation about long distance running. I cannot accurately and completely explain my utter loathing for the activity.
Drinking an IPA and eating a beef pasty while starting to plan something resembling a tweed ride in #Bozeman. Gotta get in the right mindset
If you’re going to yell loudly at a bar during a football game, at least say something more thoughtful than “yes” or “woo”.
Embarking on nap #2 for today. Much needed.
Thanks for the safe drive wishes @sharalds @SingletrackM1nd @lostgears. Got home at 3, up at 8, now gotta get ready for work. *yawn*
Feels good to be home and in my own bed, even if my place smells like something died in the fridge. I’ll worry about that later.
Feels good to be back in Montana. 100 more miles to Bozeman.
Lucky for us Mr. PracticalPedal is equally adept at using gas and brake pedals as he is bike pedals. Can’t drive safely anymore. Too tired.
Just went through Idaho Falls- coming home to #Bozeman from Interbike. Working on about 15 hrs sleep for the past 4 days. Running low.
Past five days, 20 hours of sleep. This will end well.
Day 2 of Interbike. Bikes, Bike geeks, booth girls, and plenty of schmalz.
At a seminar about social media. Tweeting cuz I’m bored. It is very useful for most of the people though.

Freedom Riders showing at the VAS booth. Get a raffle ticket to support IMBA.
Holy Crap. The air is viscous with one lady’s perfume. I feel like I’m fading fast. Need… Air…
This is boring. Not because of the seminar, because of the noob/hardcore dynamic. Everyone needs to shut up and let the lady talk.
Tweeting during a seminar about using Social Media as a marketing tool. The lady in front of me marinated in perfume. Yuk.
http://twitpic.com/j0rlu - #bikepolo at the Mandalay Bay parking lot during #Interbike. Boards, lights, awesome.
1st #bikepolo game over. Hey #Bozeman- if you want to stand a chance you’re going to have to pick up the pace a bit. Just saying.
Surrounding the #bikepolo arena at #Interbike: A criterium. Oh, And Gary Fisher stopped by to watch.
http://twitpic.com/j1h2p - On a bottle of water I got: “As a new season emerges, Kasil redefines denim culture” WTF?
It’s #highfivefriday! High 5’s out to @ChelseaDiem @SingletrackM1nd @Solobobw @iamspecialized @reubenhecht @practicalpedal *SMACK!*
Just about ready to leave #Interbike. The most beautiful thing in Nevada? Las Vegas in a rear view mirror.
In Arizona. 12 more hours.
In St. George, Utah. Zion is by here. Think I’ll come back to chant down Babylon.

Walking around #Interbike aimlessly. One has to ease into the trade show craziness.

At a good seminar at #Interbike about store merchandising- except the glaring typos on EVERY powerpoint slide!

Can’t feel if my phone is buzzing cuz every seat in this place has a subwoofer hidden in it.
http://twitpic.com/iwmch - The view of the floor se the Rain Club. Waiting for the NWD 10 premier. And Steel Panther! #Interbike
http://twitpic.com/iwagw - Was going to go to the cyclocross race, bit I realized that Steel Panther wasn’t going to be there \m/ #Inte …
Trying not to look like a complete yokel at the Rain Club in the Palms. At least I can’t afford to get drunk tonight, not on two $10 G&T’s.
Feeling not nearly bad as I think I should- the $10 drinks kept me from getting carried away. So thanks, Vegas- I guess. #Interbike
Up early- going to the IMBA breakfast at #Interbike. Still feeling the effects of the Steel Panther show.
http://twitpic.com/ix33m - Holy. Fucking. Shit. Steel Panther Rocks! #Interbike
At the IMBA breakfast. Thank God they’ve got good coffee. #Interbike
