      <title>Shop Shorthanded for Interbike</title>

This week the shop will be shorthanded while most of the staff is at &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.interbike.com/"&gt;Interbike&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; test riding cool new bikes for 2008, and wandering through a tradeshow with over 3000 vendors of bike goodies.&lt;P&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;Bret, Sterling and Peter will be here to assist customers as best they can, while Charles, Berry, John and Patty are in Vegas. If the phone rings and goes to voice mail, or you come in and find your self in line for customer service, please accept our apologies. We considered being closed during the week but decided open and shorthanded would be better.&lt;/p&gt;

On Monday and Tuesday, the boys will be riding in &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bootlegcanyon.org"&gt;Bootleg Canyon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; where there is some awesome rocky technical goodness to put bikes through a real trail test. Between the three of them, they should be able to ride about 15 different 2008 bikes.&lt;P&gt;

Wandering through the conference center, they get to pick up and fondle new parts, ask questions and try to stump the techs, and meet up with other movers and shakers in the bike industry.&lt;P&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;Look forward to a couple writeups after the boys return. Until then, happy trails, and enjoy the lovely California weather.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
