It's good to be missed, but sorry we can't make it this year. The move has dragged out a few weeks longer than we wanted and put us behind on getting everything running for Plymouth's spring rush.

All of our stuff is still pretty much boxed up and we have some minor construction to accomplish this week.

Shooting for Mid Feb at the latest.

have a good Expo everyone.

Looked like a pretty good turnout today at the Expo. Although it was a white-out when I left, I was covered in snow just walking to my car! Swap meet had tons of great stuff, I only bought a tire, though. Was going to grab a cassette, but didn't and when I decided I wanted it after all, I went back an hour later that table had packed up and left. :(

Chatted with 'inasnit' at the MMBA table for a few minutes (nice to put faces with the names!) and listened to ... uh .. what's his name? I forget, in the auditorium for a bit about the equestrian legislastion stuff. Good to know we have people on our side that know their way around these kinds of things.

Didn't ride any, but the pump track and jumps looked fun. Nice to see lots of (very) young kids out there riding around. One young girl I saw was riding the whole 3 or 4 hours that I was there!

Good times! Can't wait to get my bike back together and start riding in the spring!

Does anyone have *any* idea how many people attended the expo in January?

Were you there?

I ask because i'm wondering if you just wanted a guestimate based on visuals, or if you were wondering if a vendor actually did a count ....

If I'm guessing (and I am) I'd say there were about 200 people there at the peak of the day (about an hour or two before the end), so allowing for the coming and goings of some people, add a fudge factor, carry the 2 ...

300- 500??

About 10 dozen cookies were consumed at the MCMBA booth, but I strongly suspect that some people ate more than one :)

Your booth will be next to my booth again next year. ;-) The cookies were a nice perk.

I was there, but I'm horrible with estimating these types of things. I'll go with your guess of 500. I have to put an estimate down for next year's contract.

I hear that the upcoming Expo is Jan 27th.

Troof?

I want to make sure I get to this year's gig. Last year was awesome.

Edit: I see it is on the main page. .... is it going to be at the same location as last year?
