I'm in Portland now; drove down (through the rain) last night. My son is looking at a local college today while I hang out in bike shops.

I will be at the gates at opening tomorrow morning, fighting the rest of you for tickets. I'm really not worried; as excited as we all are about bikes I don't think we're exactly *normal*; I wouldn't expect the crowds to be any larger than your typical boat show/car show/home show kind of crowd. But ya' never know!
