2011 Outdoor Demo – day 2
The second day of the Interbike Outdoor Demo started with a heavy rain but that did not stop dealers from checking out the various bikes and other gear available for demo.
Rain actually threatened quite a bit longer but by 10am it started to dry out. Plus the cooler temperatures were welcomed by exhibitors and trade visitors alike.
We bumped into Heather Jackson and Jesse Thomas today, noticed bikes from Leopard and Giant, a new light from Lezyne and various other goodies.
