INTERBIKE EAST, A CONTRAST IN WEATHER...

The ampitheatre at Roger Williams Park

Squirt Lube made it's appearance at the Interbike East Coast Demo Days this week at Roger Williams State Park in Rhode Island, which was the site of the Cyclocross Nationals in 2005/2006. Billed as the second oldest state park in the Nation, the place is perfect for Cross racing, however the choice to do the demo here for mountain biking and road disciplines was a bit of a FUCK UP as the venue really does not support the terrain for either. Day one saw fair numbers of people converging on the SQUIRT tent. Day two, well, when the rain started mid morning, the great guys at the BMC tent directly across from me fired up the bloody mary bar and it was game on...to which I responded, does BMC stand for "Bloody Mary Company?" The cocktails were outstanding as the guys used a slim jim for a drink stirrer and threw a stick of string cheese in for good measure...outstanding! Their bikes were nice too.

Day one set-up the weather was stellar


Day Two was a bit of a different story, great bloody mary day.
You may want to check in later for the story of how I personally was responsible for the Boston Red Sox getting knocked out of the playoffs, I swear to gawd.
