Although, I do hear that it is a great place for people watching if that is your thing.<br /><br />I'm really lovin' the new Salsa products. The Fargo and El Mariachi are high on my "needs" list. Or would that be "wants"? The Mukluk looks awesome, but like you, I love my new Pugsley and hope to be riding it for some time to come.<br /><br />Enjoy your time and Vegas :)Vitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01277306434031774094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-29492580743566908762010-09-23T02:55:01.600-06:002010-09-23T02:55:01.600-06:00Wow! that's amazing.

I want (someday) to do that race, but the if/when got pushed off to the distant future when I wrecked my mountain bike in July and broke my back. I've gotta wait to see if the fusion heals to go off-road again & your blog is helping to fill the void. Sort of. Nothing really substitutes, though, ya know? But thanks for doing what you do and for keeping all of us involved! I love your adventures!Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16059092127913479264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-1160152245192775912010-09-22T21:48:19.536-06:002010-09-22T21:48:19.536-06:00Jill, sorry, I couldn't find your email addres...Jill, sorry, I couldn't find your email address.

That said, I do fantasize about riding a nice road bike down the Strip at night because the pavement is soooo smooth, quiet, clean, and well-lit from the neon! <br /><br />Also, on your trek back to MT, try to take a short detour to Valley of Fire.... its absolutely otherwordly prehistoric!

I don't really bike much, so I can't answer for how they are to ride, but they're a lot of fun for hiking and running!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JennAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-14372853038752813472010-09-22T13:25:20.082-06:002010-09-22T13:25:20.082-06:00I am totally jealous of you being at Interbike.

Check out the Icebox Canyon trail. And as you know...take lots of water and some snacks, because there is nothing out there once you leave the visitors' center. Red Rock is the best thing about Vegas that I've found so far!Cyclin' Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055590629075632638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-18739634048970123132010-09-22T08:53:58.358-06:002010-09-22T08:53:58.358-06:00Like you I'm not a big fan of Vegas, but being...Like you I'm not a big fan of Vegas, but being paid to be at Interbike.....that doesn't suck at all - have fun!richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02604447326957705684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-35154247529130726962010-09-22T08:18:49.283-06:002010-09-22T08:18:49.283-06:00Vegas is all bad.
