I don't know it was pretty good I thought.
I picked up shoes, spd clips, shorts, bottle cage, giro xen helmet. Pretty much everything I was looking for. Saved almost $300 of msrp.

But yes there was a pile of road bike stuff to sift through.

We got our blue passes, Picked up a couple of shirts from Modrobes and cool socks for myself. A friend got a camelback and tubes at Europe bound.

Show seemed the same as previous years... no surprises. Lots of familiar faces

My favorite bike was the Intense M9 (it had a wall all to itself)

You know you have too much money when you can travel like this

Wonder how fast you can drive before the bike flies off the roof rack?

Went down yesterday, I had limited time and was looking for a new bike so didnt geet to look much at other deals. Ended picking up a 2011 Reign X2, its alot more travel than I was looking for for a trail bike ( I already have a DH) but when I gave it a test ride it felt sooo smooth so I'm pretty happy.

Now I remember why I don't go. Couldn't find alot of decent parts/clothing. Found some Troy Lee shorts that I already have. I paid $90 full pop at my LBS, they were $109-20% at the bike show.....same BS pricing games different year. Madder

Although it was nice to get my Blue pass for only $169

Just went to my LBS 'once a year sale' and found better deals...ran into some other people that had been at the bike show too.
