Coach P Journeys to Interbike

Coach Patrick

I can't ride my bike (yet) but I can drool all over them. That's right, somehow I tricked Coach Rich into letting me fly out to Vegas for Bike Industry Mayhem. Everyone who is anyone is there...from the big cheese down to the counterfeit versions of stuff from mainland China. 

What do you want me to check into while I am out there? What does TeamEN need that we don't have as a partner? Let me know!

ps - you'll be able to follow me all day on Thursday via Twitter: www.twitter.com/teamen

I know it's a bit of a goofy thought because we're not THAT big a group, but it there an apparel supplier of the same quality that we've been able to get before (jerseys, tops, bibs, etc) who would be willing to stock things? I would have gotten a jacket this early spring had they been available in my size. I'm talking about the quality kit stuff here, not T-shirts. I very much like the stuff we have, but every year you guys go through the same thing with "will there be an order for...."

ooooh, have fun and take lots of pics!

@William I hear you...it's more of a capital thing. 2012 was the first year EN went out and got a loan to cover the cost of gear. Between cycling gear and singlets / tri stuff, we place an order between 25,000 and 50,000. While EN is in a good place, we just don't have 50,000 sitting around to order a jacket in case you want one six months after the order. But you have incentivized me...

@Nemo, you got it!!!!

Coach Rich
