I'm driving on Saturday morning and would like to share a ride if anyone wants. Probably spend an hour or two browsing and be back early afternoon.
Did you make it up, find anything interesting? I went for a couple of hours. Didn't buy anything but saw some pretty good deals. It was my first time attending.

Yes I made it and it was my first as well. I found one of four things on my list. $10 parking seemed a bit steep. I joined Bicycle Colorado which I have been meaning to do. It was fun to see so many bicycles and related stuff. How did you like the goat heads?
I haven't been in years (I wanted to go but other things always come up). Made it this year and spent $200 on a lot of great stuff.

Ritchey Comp stems new-in-box for $5? A chain tool for $2? Some dude's kit vest for $10? Sign me up.

I went to Veloswap several years ago. It was fun to go and I bought some stuff. But I haven't seen much need to drive over to Denver again for it. I wish they had a good bike swap here on the western slope.
I went to the GABA Tucson bike swap several years ago and it was awesome. It was on Main St. in the old part of town. They closed down several blocks and it was free to set up and sell and free to get in and buy stuff. It was like a bicycle fair.
