Oh I can't even keep up, so there's little hope ya'll be able to, but might as well giveR, eh?

We made it back from Vegas in one piece, and my threat to stay up all night and head straight to the airport at 5:30am without sleeping was fairly hollow, though I feel like it happened anyway.

This year there was little agenda, other than to just float and enjoy ourselves. Funny thing often when you remove the pressure or schedule, you'll end up getting more done.

Dirt demo was great - caught up with everyone under the sun (literally), as it was 96*. I loved it. Doug Dalton's newly designed Carbon Rush is faster than you'd think, and I thought it would be fast. The coolest part of the demo was ripping a lap on one bike, then clipping into another. Never are you able to compare rides back to back like that.

Tinker was hanging out and told me he's still shattered from his RAAM experience. I saw Crawford at the show later he was telling me about Janell's RAAM team catching the lead team at a random red light in Iowa and when it turned green, Janell took off like it was the first lap of a mtb STXC...and we're talking about 2500 miles into the race. Braaap.

The Sinclair party was a little different this year - DEFF full of wanna be ballers, which made identifying the other ballers difficult, even with my baller'dar.

Word on the mobile was Deez flew straight from Europe just to jet-set into the party. If you're going to feel like arse after flying across the world, might as well top it off with a Vegas trip. I did see Cipp and he has the greatest racket going - if you're a guy and try to talk to him, he blurts "NO ENGLISH, NO ENGLISH".

But if you're a sexy female, you'll overhear him say, in pretty good english: "Well hello sexy lady, I have been spying you from across the room and even before you walked up to me, I had you undressed mentally..." or something like that.

In the show, you couldn't walk 50' without bumping into someone who you either a) were glad to see or b) wish you hadn't made eye contact b/c now you have stop and talk even though your feet are smoked. That's all in jest, but really, I'm serious. Next year I'm bringing a Segway.

Biker, I mean, Slyfox caught a funny moment, though it really doesn't capture the awkwardness of DZ after having men and women crawl all over him.

'Cross starts tonight under the lights at the Olympic Park. Holmes hopefully will have some Reynolds for me to trash.

Also - we're looking for a pro female for the cannondale co-ed pro/am 24hrs of Moab team...please cue up in an orderly fashion and email me or leave a comment with contact info. We'll be partnering with the Men's Journal/Cannondale industry team - so you know the accommodations will be _t_i_g_h_t_!
