BT St. Anthony's 2006 Signup - Mark Your Calendar (Page 3)

C'mon down....everyone else is either here or on the way!

If you are planning on doing this race, I'd suggest you get a hotel/room now.  I'm calling around and if you don't want to fork over $400 per night to stay at the Renaissance Vinoy, you'd better get busy booking one of the few B&B's that are nearby.  Most are already booked with repeat guests for St. A's.

I went ahead and made a reservation at a BnB that is one block from the park (I got the last two rooms that they had).  There are other BnB's around, but all the ones I called were already booked.  I think there's a Hilton Hotel that's down on 2nd Ave, about 4-5 blocks south of the park.  I don't know if BT'rs are gonna have the option of staying in the same place given the skimpy amount of rooms that are available nearby.

I'd call the place you stayed at last year and ask if they have availability.  The BnB's that I called all gave preferential treatment to returning athletes.

But, regardless of where we are all staying, I think the post race party should be at the Vinoy Hotel's Bar.  That was a blast last year and is worthy of repeating.

Hey Karl...how about this...post race party at the place we had the prerace dinner last year (if I can talk the lady into it) and I can try to get a nice keg for the after party (courtesey of DJ ortho of course) ...we can all kick back and relax  on the porch???

Oh yeah maybe I'll see if they will kick in t shirts or something this year

Hey, this is sounding more and more interesting every time I read it.  I am definitely thinking of going.  As far as getting a hotel, I don't mind if it's 10 or 20 kms away because I will bike in from wherever I am anyways. 

the Medallion Club also includes Free, Reserved parking.

ugh.  still, it's 500 bucks outta my pocket.  no, thanks.  they should let Baycare folks do it for free
