I heard a commercial on the radio and was going to look it up. Thanks for doing the looking up for me! I'm going to see if I can make it one of those days.

I am possibly leaning towards Saturday.. Thats when a group of riders I know is going.. And they live in my area so we can take the metro... It would be my first time

Looks like I'm going to being skiing on Thursday-Friday. I wouldnt get back until late Friday/early Saturday so I'm leaning towards Sunday.

I've never been either, but I have been to the DC auto show a couple times which is at the Convention Center. I would definitely be taking the metro from Vienna.. parking in DC is not fun at all!

I ended up going on Sunday. I enjoyed sitting on all the bikes that I wanted to, but I was hoping to see a little more custom/modified bikes. It all seemed pretty small to me, especially after going to the Washington Auto Show a couple times.

It seemed really small to me. But then again after San Mateo CA, Timonium seemed small and this one seemed smaller than that.

Timonium is this week but I am kinda leaning towards not going.
