The 5th annual TedX Victoria is coming to town on November 21st.
They got a great lineup of speakers including a Tripleshot rider who creates 'art' with his bike. Unbelievable but true. Check it out here: http://tedxvictoria.com/event-info/#speakers

Admittedly (and I'm speaking as a two-time TedX alumnus) the organizers were a little more desperate than usual this year, opting to put Strava Steve on the McPherson stage for at least half of his allotted 15 minutes of fame. Steve will be able to strut his stuff in front of 800 screaming (and paying) TedX devotees and show them how great he is. Should be fun. See you there.

Alan's right. In fact, the organizers said, "After having Alan Cassels on the stage in two previous years, we're desperate for speakers with something interesting and meaningful to say."

Very self-effacing of you to acknowledge this, Alan.

Ha ha ha ha!!! I'd come to a Tedx that pits the two of you against each other on the stage.
Failing that, I might have to drop by if either of you is speaking. Might be fun to see another side of my riding mates (as in, not just the rear).
