When I got home this evening my wife told me I had some mail that she didn't necessarily want to give me.  I'll be there checking things out.

Dam, now that I am broke, and have friday off, maybe I will go to work for my meeting in the morning since I will probably roadtrip up there anyway to see what I cant live without.  I really may try to snag a wetsuit since the shoulders in mine are a bit tight.  I will be interested to see what the race wheelsets are priced.

I cannot go until Sunday, which is probably best since the selection will probably be less enticing by then.  I want, no need so many things!

They've got an '08 QR Kilo for only $1000.  I almost bought it.  *sigh*  Any other tall people out there looking for a decent entry level bike?

I snagged a sleeveless QR wetsuit for 40 bucks, will get me into something since my 2xu is tight in the shoulders.  They had some good deals on stuff, but I just couldn't get myself to spend the money!  Guy ahead of me got a bike for 5200, and the guy behind got a disc and zipp rental for about 1800 bucks.  It was pretty busy early Friday morning when the opened.

My wife got a new bike on Saturday at GW. A very sharp QRoo Lucero (titanium). I'm extremely jealous. I'm guessing it's going to be a significant step up from the $800 fuji road bike she's been riding the last 3 years!

I am doing my best to avoid GW this week.  I would really like to get set up with a Zipp 404 with a powertap.  If I see one on sale I might not be able to resist the temptation.  Must stay AWAY!!

I was glad I got there early on Friday.  I was able to snag a set of 808s (for as reasonable as they get).  I didn't plan on getting wheels for a few more months, but the savings out weighed the wait.  The real good deals seemed to go fast.  I don't know if they added anything througout the sale.  I wished they had few more Larger wet suits.  Oh, well.

There were some good deals as far as clothes and other accessories on Sunday afternoon.  I was debating going and then suddenly an e-mail popped in my inbox from GW, reminding me of the sale.  Wow, amazing timing.  I got a nice pair of wind stopper cycling bibs for a deal.  I didn't look at the bikes, but there were still plenty there.   There was a little of everything, but it appeared picked over.   I really wanted a fancy wetsuit...

Heh.  According to the sizing charts, since I weigh 155, that throws me into the 'medium' category...

I guess snagging a wetsuit at a $40 deal would motivate most 'normal' people to lose 6 lbs or so...
