About to land - slight blurriness perfectly representing state of photographer after 22 hour journey

The BM team (by which I mean me - the BM crack squad of elite show-covering photojournalists is, alas, a job-easing weapon that exists only in my head) has just arrived in Las Vegas for the annual Interbike trade show. OK, I'll stop it now - I've just arrived in Las Vegas etc and so on.

I'll be posting up as many reports, updates and random nonsense as I can, kicking off with two days of riding in conditions that really do deserve to be called "scorching". I'll be aiming to get first riding impressions of as many 2010 bikes as possible before hitting the show halls proper.

And if you want to hear about stuff almost as soon as we do, get yourself over to the intermittent stream of consciousness that is the Bikemagic twitter feed - I'll be posting stuff up there as a prelude to the more considered (and longer than 140 characters) reports here on BM...

All the Interbike reports will be linked to this page - bookmark www.bikemagic.com/interbike2009 to keep up to date.
