First time in 5 years I'm not contributing in any way. No bike in the show and I will be out of town and can't help with the set up. We'll be attending though on Final Friday. One of our bike related highlights of the year. A classy (well as classy as we get) event. If it wasn't so hot I'd rent a tuxedo to wear.

I delivered four of my favorite bikes today to be in the show. I may take a few more up if I find the time.

Looks like fun, but there's not a single hotel room available in Wichita that weekend.

What else is going on down there? All I could find on the Wichita tourism website is some clown festival and a high school track meet.

What can I say, Wichita loves bicycles. You may check some of the surrounding cities- Haysville, Derby, Park City, or even Winfield.

Stopped by the GoAway Garage today, but didn't really look over the show that much. I just wanted to get some pics of the Fat Rat. I want to see the show just like the estimated 1500 to 2000 people who are expected to come through the show see it. Should be a great time.

That's what I'll be doing this year. Pretty exited.
Thanks Dave for putting together this years show. As much as I have enjoyed being involved in the show it was nice for a change not to be.

Well, my build-off bike isn't ready, so I'll be bringing my old Higgins (the Sportliner). Just got back from lunch break and loading two 50 year old bikes on my 20 year old car.

 

[aka_locojoe]

Don't forget to bring some cash for shirts and tickets for the raffle bike which will be given away at 10:00pm.
And of course RIDE YOUR BIKE to the show!
