Excel bike show, who's been?

Thought it was a bit of a let down, with not a lot there to try / buy. Great to listen to a couple of the speakers, and speak to the boys at Hope about a few choices, and to Alpkit about an event and luggage.

Did come home with some nice Bolle's though so not a total bust!

Been three years on the bounce. Last two were the evening tickets and didn't cost much. Generally speaking I don't think it's worth the full ticket price.

I'm not going this year as I've never really bought anything decent there. Usually it was full of stores selling products made by brands that I've never heard of.

We went yesterday. Really enjoyed it. Sure, there could have been more to see, but I saw what I wanted (Orange Crush & Four Factory, Whyte T-130C Works, Santa Cruz Hightower) and got a sit on a few...

The pump battle was good fun and Nicolhi Rogatkin was throwing down on the jumps.

I was really impressed with the Boardman stand, the range has come on so much. Met the man himself on the stand chatting to punters, lovely guy.

Saw Chris Hoy, Martyn Ashton on the stand, also Rachel Atherton & Tahnée Seagrave wandering about and bumped into Dan Hardy milling about too. Think he was in the Clipper Round The World Race stand.

Liked a lot of what I saw in the Scott stand, MTB wise. Tried a few nutrition products, got a good deal on Cheery Active cherries...

No complaints here.

Went last year and won't bother again.
