It's that time of year again! It's time for Interbike and that also means its time for Cross Vegas. This year we will again be presenting awards for "Cross Bike of the Year", "Cross Shoe of the Year" and "Cross Gear of the Year". We have set up a specal gallery to give our readers pictures of Interbike, Outdoor Demo, and Cross Vegas. The show starts off Monday with 2 days of Outdoor Demo at Bootleg Canyon.

We started out bright and early today, as 6:45 am comes really early. After making it down to the Outdoor Demo shuttle bus, we head out to Bootleg Canyon only to find Las Vegas in a rain storm. A quick look on the smart phone told the story of severe weather for the day. Once we arrived at Outdoor Demo, the weather only got worse. But hey, one round is just not enough! We got the clue when Giant stopped releasing bikes for demos because of the weather. So we headed back into the VIP Media tent and pulled up the Doppler and Oh baby! Round 2 of the weather was nothing less than ominous.

With the clock at 8:59 am and CXBR awards in hand, we patiently await the opening of Interbike 2011 at the Sands Convention Center in Las Vegas. With nearly 24,000 expected to attend, the showroom floor will fill up quickly. First stop, Redline, recipient of "Cross Bike of the Year" for their Redline Carbon Conquest Pro. Next up, Louis Garneau receives the "Cross Shoe of the Year" award for their T-Flex 300 shoe. Taking the "Cross Gear of the Year" award is Hawk Racing for their bottom bracket and derailleur pulleys.
