Vegas Day 2

Today was the last day of the outdoor demo at Interbike. I was able to meet people from companies like Cervelo, Kuota, and Pedros. The cool thing about working for a company like Rudy Project is that people from other companies respect your product. We were swamped again today at our booth and I look forward to being indoors tomorrow. We were outside in the heat all day, but luckily, Fizik was able to hook us up with some coconut gelato.

Las Vegas day 2

We were out of the hotel by 6 am this morning. Stopping to get ice, water, and some caffeine, we headed into the desert. We set up our tents, tables, helmets, glasses, and tried to beat the heat. We stayed in the shade, but it hit the high 90's way too early. It was busy all day and people really responded well to the new gear for 2009. We closed up shop about 6pm and headed back into Vegas. We stopped for dinner and sat at our table next to three decent crossdressers. Unlimited ribs stuffed us beyond reason and we found ourselves ready for bed by 9. Then we found a screwdriver in our tire. I watched everyone else change the tire and felt very proud of my team of mechanics. It is 11 pm and I am going to bed. One more long day outside at the out door demo before we move into the Sands Convention Center.

Drive to Vegas

This week, I will be in Las Vegas working for Rudy Project at Interbike. It started after work. I jumped on the bus to Denver and crashed on my friend Chris' couch. Early the next morning, we loaded the Uhaul and set off West. Burger King for breakfast and I snacked on gummy bears, chex mix and soda. Pretty normal road trip stuff, but not what I am used to.
After just under six hours, the Broncos football game started on the radio. That helped pass some time. I tried to constanly nap, but when that didn't work I would watch our gas mileage. (We averaged 9 mpg.)
We only stopped once to catch the last 10 minutes of the 4th quarter of the Broncos game. About 80 miles from Vegas I saw the first casino offering an all you can eat buffet.
13 hours after we left Denver, we arrived at our hotel tired but in good spirits. Our room was fine but the other guys came over and said, "Our room smells like throw up, and the lights don't work". I found this funny until they threatened to sleep in our room. They got everything figured out. We are meeting before 6 am tomorrow, so I am going to bed now.
