Interbike 09 Outdoor Demo 2

Day 2 of the Interbike Outdoor Demo was quite busy. The official program started at 8am with the Interbike Tour of Lake Mead, also known as the Hangover Ride. That meant that many brands were ready by 7am to set up people for this ride. Not sure if anyone counted the participants but it easily looked like 250-300 folks riding.

After the ride there was moment of calm but then more and more folks showed up and several brands started to run out of bikes for people to test. Conditions were not super hot, but quite windy.
