If I had more time I would have totally done that but I didn't find out about the conference until the day before. A friend of mine who was already planning on attending told me about it at noon on Wednesday and it was to start Thursday. It was also in an area I don't know at all. Total opposite direction to anything I know in my area. If I had even a little more time to plan it out and get everything figured out I would have ridden and reduced my mileage by 80 miles on my car and my stress level of sitting in traffic for the same exact amount of time it would have taken me to ride it.

Best part is that if I had ridden I still would not be the biggest geek there. It was a computer security conference. Think hackers. lol I could have been in there in full race kit with an aero helmet and still been in the top 50% of people who weren't complete geeks.
