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. The Gods finally said enough was enough a few hours later and we were treated to mild temps with overcast skies. Check out the gallery!
