So I'm planning to go on the Friday. Calvin will probably be inundated this year after his retirement announcement, but I'm hoping I'll get to chat with him a bit.

Are there any questions anyone would like me to ask? Or would you like a video message or anything? I can get autographs but you'll have to make do with a scan, I'm not posting anything. He's really chill, so if I get a chance to speak to him, I'll try to get in any requests from you guys. If it's allowed, I'll try to film some of his presentation and interview.

(Why, yes, I am a massive Calvin fangirl, how did you guess?)

Just got back from the show. Calvin and Truman were both there. I gave them little thank you gifts and they both gave me gifts back. They are such gentlemen! I got my Big Blue Book signed this time.

I've filmed some parts of his talk about spoke tension and some of his Q&A, but they had a cameraman of their own so I think the Q&A will be on the parktool or bikeradar channels.

I've got the photos on my mastodon thread. Truman told me what the C in C. Calvin Jones stands for.

And I now have a Madison gear hanger chart of my own!
