Providence cyclocross race

I went to Providence, RI, this Sunday with some lovely friends to watch the 'cross race.
Also at Roger Williams Park was Interbike East, which is a massively scaled down version of the real Interbike expo in Las Vegas.

However, there were tons of booths and tech and bikes and lots of other "and"s.

Some cool things to note, I got my homework for Multimedia class wrapped up while I was there by interviewing and taking photos of Mike Steidley, the eight-time U.S. National Trials Bike Champion.

I will be posted my audio slideshow here sometime on Wednesday, so please stay tuned.

And... I me t Chris King! THE Chris King.
If you don't know who that is... well, you should know who that is, my friend.
He is a legend.
And, he lauded me with the term "grasshopper" when I dazzled him with an insightful and accurate comment about manufacturing! SWEET!

But after our 20 to 30 minute chat, I realized that I should have interviewed him!
I like bikes and I like reporting. Why the heck didn't I interview him for my audio slideshow too! D'OH!
Oh well.

Mike Steidley was very gracious and gave a good interview.
Most importantly, he was very patient.

I forgot to hit "RECORD" when we started chatting.
Hmmm.... that would be a good start, eh, Phil? Recording the interview?

Oops.
