I rode electronic Dura-Ace. I didn't like it. It had an incredibly fake feel to it. It's like clicking a mouse to shift. I turned around and rode new DA 7900, which is cable actuated, and preferred it (as much as I can prefer Shimano [which means if Campy went out of business, I'd rather have 7900 than electronic]).
We went to Cross Vegas Wed night to watch the race. It was an awesome course an awesome field and an awesome evening. Lance Armstrong showed up to race adn was boo-ed at the call up, which was cool. The race was the coolest I've been to, being under lights, etc, and really gave the CX bug. I race tomorrow, first CX of the year. I feel ready.
There is so much more to say about interbike. As I said, it was overwhelming. I was stoked on the Campy booth to see and touch new 11speed groups and new Super Record. This is an ~$,4000 group. It was dope.
Thursday night we went to the US Criterium Championships at Mandalay Bay, which was at the complete other end of the strip. The race was cool (not as cool as x-vegas), and we walked back. It is probably 4-5 linear miles, but we detoured through nearly every casino, and it took us over 3hrs to get back. We were out late, and raging.
Here are some interbike pics for you's:
