Default JP Cycle Open House?
I'm thinking of making a trip June 23 to J&P Cycle's open house in Iowa. Has anyone been to one before? Any advice or recommendations? Many thanks!

Went there last year, it was worth while, spend half the day, could have used a beer though, there is none.

Lots of vendors and stuff to be found. Bought some parts, got the bike blessed, and the Zippers tech was good enough to tweak my map for improved mileage.

I usually go but will be on vacation this year. It's worth the trip just to see a lot of the product up close.

So if I was in the market for a new half helmet would I be able to try some on and compare?

Yes they let you try on helmets. Very helpful in that area. I actually live about 20 miles from their store so I'm there often.
