delayed interbike update....

Unfortunately while we were in Las Vegas we had difficulties getting a good connection to the internet, so here goes on the 3 days of updating you with some pretty cool pictures....


Weds: we arrived in Las Vegas, Greg went to check out The Interbike Expo while Alex and I went to Circus Circus(the enormous indoor amusement park). Alex went on endless rides and had an absolute blast. Then we met Greg at Interbike. Okay, too many bikes, and many other crazy things.....seriously crazy things!

Alex was snoozing in the stroller(he was exhausted from the amusement park), so Greg and I walked around the show and saw all the newest bikes for 2007. There was a road bike made for a 7 year old...no joke(see picture).

Alex woke up, so we headed back to the amusement park for some more rides: Alex met a new friend(Andrew) on the "Plane Ride" and they were inseperable the entire trip. Andrew's Dad and Grampa were in Vegas for Interbike too.


Thurs: Went to interbike again and saw a few biking stars: George Hincapie, Thor Hushovd, Heather Fuhr, Bob Roll, Phil Liggett and Tinker. Alex met up with his buddy Andrew from Texas and they spent the afteroon until dinner on the rides at the amusement park.

Fri: Alex, Andrew and I went to the Children's Museum: was too much fun for the kids and me too! Greg spent part of the day at Interbike and then met us at the museum and we had a hard time dragging him out. Also, Alex loved hanging out at Andrew's MotorHome.....house on wheels! The best part(especially for Greg) was ending the day off at Las Vegas Mini Gran Prix Race Track. Greg and Alex went in a race car together and raced agaist the Texans Don and Andrew. Then Don and Greg went in the big boy cars for a time trial(I think Greg took the win by .35 secs).

So today we made it to Moab, Utah and we are ready to do some mountain biking(more so Greg).

Hope all is well in BC!
