[tkblazer]

i may show up and see what all this vpp crap is all about eh

I'd love to ride a Nomad, but I know that will lead me down an expensive and possibly divorce-laden path. Best I skip it for now.

BTW: Is 43 too old to qualify as a junior racer?

just spoke w/staff of bike co. they're suggesting stt/luge as the demo. loop. i'll be there around 8ish, look forward to riding with you guys, and arm wrestling over riding a nomad or blur LT.

ride the nomad chappy, no need to arm wrastle unless you like the feel of sweaty palms!

demo'ed a blur lt. very very nice. not what i expected. climbed like a superlight, handeled the luge like a heckler. great bike. kirt and his mechanic (travis i think) were working hard and getting everyone set up, chat about set up options and take questions. it was a cool demo program with a great trail to test 'em out on.

Also made it to the demo. Santa Cruz is a cool company and does things right, very hospitable. They were very helpful when I was looking for bikes. Though I ended up with a Turner 5-Spot.

Rode the same bike. Agree with everything except how it decends. I thought it was too stiff and felt some brake- jack.

Was glad to jump back on my spot.
