Who's in? Slowman and Ian will be working their fit magic, come by to say hello... try out the Wahoo/Zwift setups. Have a beer and maybe win something.

I'll be ready to do my first Express Fit at 8am and will continue them on every 20min through the day (with a wee break for lunch at noon). I'll have a sign up sheet there so it's first come, first serve on the day. I'll have some saddles, a few pedal options - but I can find your Pad Y and Pad X even if you arrive in slacks & loafers. So come as you are and we'll see you Saturday at Canyon HQ.

I'd like to do the ride and run, but I "returned" my tickets because I can't/won't stay for anything beyond that. (I can't afford more than just a few hours of fun, "me" time.) Can I do just the ride & run?

You can show up, ride whatever bike you want. Nobody has to stay all day, but most folks will want to stick around to meet Lionel, listen to the talks, and win raffle stuff.
My instructions are always the same:
Helmets, good attitude, and good riding etiquette mandatory.
It's a group outing, not a race, not the Saturday morning world championships.

Cool. I'm staying all day. See you guys in the morning. I'll be riding a Giant Trinity (White-Black-Orange).

I’ll be there in the early afternoon. Bummed to miss the ride/run but I’ll be biking back in the morning from OC from a work conference.

I had hoped to make it, but cannot get there having been out for a week of travel.

I tried, but am not smart enough to figure out how to give up my tickets on ebrite. So if someone wants to take my ticket feel free to PM me.

Looks like a fun day.

Wow! It made me very happy to meet Slowman and Ianpeace today. I just wanted to look and smile at them, which is a little weird but I bet I'm not the only one.

I got fit by Ian and have just a few adjustments to make my bike. The fit experience is pretty great. Easy. Quick. Effective. The group ride was fun. It was nice to see ST concierge Karen again. What nice crew of people! Thank you for the fun!!

It was great meeting you Ian, and you too Slowman. It was a beautiful SoCal day. Spend all day, from 8am to 6pm just doing triathlon stuff. The good life.

I would be interested to hear Dan’s review of the event. I thought it was great, but Dan seemed a little put out when they asked him speak about fitting. Ian Murray did a nice job.
I think Dan was greatly appreciated with all the fits he (and Ian) did.

Slowtwitch and Canyon put on a really nice event, I’d encourage folks to go. The ride was 35 miles on flat-ish safe coastline roads, but with about a mile climb at the turnaround to keep it honest. Good turnout from local tri clubs. The beer was good and they were pouring all day. And no, I didn’t win the bike, but the guy riding next to me did!

my own fault for not remembering i had a presentation.

we produced our first road shows in 1993 i think it was. as quintana roo road shows. that was when i first understood bike fit. really understood it. our first show was in atlanta. we had all sorts of stars there, we fed everyone, but the line, around the building, was for bike fitting. we had 5 of our bikes, a size run, in trainers, with adjustable stems, for bike fits. people passed up the free lunch to stay in line for a bike fit. that's when i really got it. understood it.

so here we are, 25 years later, and i never forgot that lesson. when i'm at a road show, my job is to fit people to their bikes, or to fit people pursuant to their selection of bike.

Dan and Ian were the centerpiece of a hugely (bigly?) rad day. We were stoked to host it, and gather up a ton of activities to make it a full day. Hoping all those that attended enjoyed the ride with Andrew Talansky, pro panel, yoga sesh, race prep chat with PNF, free beer from our awesome local brew Rouleur, giveways from our pals at Roka and Ironman, etc. etc etc..... Glad to have everyone at our house, and welcome y'all to stop on your coast ride through Carlsbad, enjoy a coffee at the showroom and come test our Speedmax models.... anytime.

And if you missed this one, we'll have more fun with Dan (I didn't have enough fun with he and Ian yesterday... the boys were slammed doing fits!) at our three other Canyon/ST 360 Lab workshop stops this year (June 1 in Austin, June 22 in NYC/NJ area, and July 13 in Chicago).

And thank you Jay, well done! The food trucks were great, beer garden! The Canyon staff I talked too were knowledgeable and seemed to care about my concerns.
