Giant In Reno
Well, after a solid 24 hours of travelling I’m here in the Northstar resort at lake Tahoe, just outsode Reno in Nevada. Giant have flown 12 journo’s from hither and thither to their 2008 bike range press launch.
I’m satying in a ‘condo’ in the resort village with Carl from Dirt Rag and I’m currently typing this sat outside the Big Wave Burritos and Wraps cafe in the centre of the resort. The bike launch is tomorrow so I’ve got nothing to actually report just yet apart from my utter mystification as to why Breakfast Burritos are not a staple part of the UK diet 
So, while you wait for the big news on the Giant range I’ll leave you with a quick pic of Carl. Oh, the weather here is currently clear blue skies, calm breeze, temp in the mid 70’s (9:30am) with a forecast to rise to the mid 90’s later. I hear there’s been a bit of drizzle back home? Yes, it’s times like these that remind me that what we all do here at ST is probably close to having one of the best jobs in the world
ps.. rant - Spotted another two people today walking about in public.. right where everyone can see them.. not even in a car… wearing blue tooth fecking headsets! I WILL flip soon enough and punch one of them in the fecking ear.. really HARD! Unless you are a double amputee.. take the fecking thing OUT OF YOUR FUCKING EAR YOU PRETENTIOUS COCK!
Hmmm. think I’ll switch to juice now.. maybe had enough coffee!

Maybe bluetooth headsets allow them to eat their baked potatoes easier? I heard a baseline baked spud costs $8 over there :-O

I’m totally with you on the headset thing. I guess I’ve been away from the UK for too long, because I’ve been known to make comments to people about their idiocy.

Enjoy Tahoe! Sorry I’m not passing through there while you are over. If you are in Truckee, there’s an ace coffee shop next to the Post Office in the old part of town (where Mike F. used to live).

Bluetooth headset = controlled by cybermen (according to my 10 yr old)
