Vegas Bound

Heading to Las Vegas tomorrow for a week long business trip that will also include a number of fun events. I'm most excited about Thursday next week when I'll have a "day of leisure" and have chosen to do some cycling in Red Rock Canyon. The Red Rock Resort and Casino offers a package deal where you spend two nights at the hotel and then test out Lew Racing 880 gram PRO VT-1 wheel set on a Cannondale bike. If you end up buying a wheel set, you get $500 off. Now let me make one thing clear: I do not currently race cycles. I am in fact a mediocre rider at this point. But I am also a hopeless tech junkie, so naturally this offer is appealing to me. So I will do my best to attempt to try these wheels out, and compare them to my current non-racing wheels. I figure that since I've gained 15 pounds since buying my bike in 2002, putting lighter faster wheels on it can't hurt right? Famous last words.
