After some rain yesterday things cleared up in the evening so we were able to hang out outside and enjoy the night. Several of the exhibitors have already arrived including Slingshot, Fisher Titus, Niner, and others. After getting the registration area all set and eating an evening meal, Tim and I went down to the vendor/camping area to check out the festivities.
We sat down with the Slingshot guys and got the lowdown on those FarmBoy 29"ers first. Crazy looking rigs! Then on down the line to the Salsa Amigos where we parked it for quite awhile and enjoyed some great conversation, brews, and fireflies. Yes! Fireflies! A about a gazillion of them made the open field we were in look as though a million flashbulbs were going off all the time. Like a sparkly fairy tale. Crazy.....but not the craziest!
That came later on when we joined some of the local crew to drink. Their were some crazy loons over there that were blowing grain alcohol into the fire and rasslin' each other and basically creating mayhem at times. One of them broke his bottom bracket shell on the night ride and was riding shirtless to boot. Uh-huh! Craaaaaaazy!
Okay, that's it for now. Tim and I are setting up registration now and getting things wound up for a spectacular summer day. No rain, and very little wind. Good times!
More later.
