I’m going to FOWA in London. I think it will be pretty pretty pretty pretty coooool. I’ve read quite a few blog posts about previous shows - all very exited about the quality of these get togethers.

FOWA is put together by Carson Systems (aka Ryan Carson) who is known for a knitting together a few pretty decent web apps e.g. Dropsend. Today they mostly create noise from offering world-class conferences like FOWA, FOOA, and FOWD.

By the way Mr. Carson, I’m expecting an invitation to speak at the next FOOA? … whenever that is.

If anyone would like to meet-up at FOWA then don’t be shy. Get in touch.

This bike seems very lightweight - especially compared to my old Toyota MTB (yes! Toyoya … you know, safety first).

This is beautiful craftsmanship, its easy to ride, got hydraulic disk brakes , and a lot of other stuff I don’t really know much about.

Time will tell if this is one the things I get fanatical obsessed about or if I loose complete interest within a week … basically the two only emotional reactions I have - and that goes for anything.

Yes, you’re are completely right … The b is bathing cap is obligatory.

Besides that it was cool experience. I did OK, I think. I could have done better of course - especially with the right equipment. It is all about the equipment. I now know that I need a new bike, new shoes, new pulse watch, (and probably also a completely new body and a new mind).

This is how I did:
