Got a day off from helping VeloNews.com cover the Amgen Tour of California. Naturally, the wind is blowing a thousand miles an hour, confused grasses and weeds are spewing pollen, and I am suffering from an occlusion of the snotlocker and eyeballs that apparently were sandblasted while I slept.
But enough about me. The inaugural Peak Region Cyclist Bicycle Show is slated to run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. tomorrow at the Norris Penrose Event Center right here in scenic cosmopolitan Bibleburg. If you’re in the neighborhood, slide on by and check it out. My fave local shop, Old Town Bike Shop, is taking part, as are a bunch of other local and regional cycling outfits. And a portion of the $5 admission fee goes to the Pikes Peak Area Bikeways Coalition.
It’s not exactly Interbike, but look on the bright side — you don’t have to go to Vegas to see it.

Patrick,
So going to Bibleburg is a bright side? Vegas, Bibleburg, Vegas, Bibleburg? Old Testament, New testament…
Hey, Ben — well, if you’re already here, it’s something of a bright side. I don’t have to drive for two days to get to the show, I can sleep in my own bed, and there are no smoke-filled casinos between me and the exit. But wouldn’t it be more appropriate to say “Bibleburg, Vegas, New Testament, Necronomicon?”
I dunno, Patrick. Like you, I’ve gotten to the age when long drives suck. But suspect the dancing girls are better looking in Las Vegas than in Bibleburg. Even if they look at folks like us as analogous to their parents or grandparents rather than as a couple of studly examples of prime manhood.
cheers from a member of the Class of 1954,

Ah, yass, dancing girls. This being a military town, we have a couple of strip clubs, but I haven’t patronized one in many, many years, since as a member of the Class of 1954 I am only attractive in a financial sense, and that barely.
I thought we were classmates, but wasn’t sure. Next class reunion is at the Lake’Ofire Resort, correct?
Patrick, Any conference where you sleep in your own bed is not worth going to.
Khal, You’ll have to let the Seniors from the Class of 1953 attend too.
