Sam (from Bicycles NYC) and I traveled out to Snowbird in Utah for the annual Specialized dealer event. It was excellent! Great weather. Great bikes. Great riding! We made an impression, as always, and brought our NYC brand of hijinks wherever we went! The trip started off lame as our plane was about 4 hours late out of JFK so we ended up drinking Budweisers out of aluminum bottles for brunch... As soon as we landed in SLC, Sam saw the speed gun on the airport road and had to see what he could do against it. 13 mph is what he ran and luckily we didn't get arrested :) Snowbird is amazing and beautiful! Stunning views everywhere you look! A great venue for the event. We learned about bikes. We looked at bikes, helmets, shoes, tires, equipment, you name it.... We rode bikes....road bikes....mountain bikes. I rode the new SW Roubaix with new SRAM Red, awesome! Also rode the new Bad-ass Allez Race with SRAM Rival. Excellent! Best mountain bike.....Stumpjumper FSR EVO 26 & 29. Superb! Ripped the Enduro too and loved it!!! Hung out with my pal Rebecca Rusch. Hung and dined with Don Langley of the Langster fame and also fabulous racer Ned Overend. Hung out with our boys Luis and Dave from Toga/Gotham a lot and Pat and Josh from Cycles Plus on LI....also Lester, Josh, and Bryan from U-Bikes in Boulder, CO. Great seeing everyone and having fun living the bicycle life. I'm pretty lucky....
