We will miss you Bill.

I went to Sams today and bought the ingredients for a TON of brownies!

Uh.....Comet....I thought you couldn't buy the "special" brownie ingredients at Sams??

I'm out too, guys.  And Comet has already harassed me enough for everyone.

Wait a minute. You said you'd miss the meet-up, Brandt. Now you're not making the race, either?!?!

The biggest BT race in the region and you guys are missing it? What the hell is wrong with you two!?!?!?!?

Seriously.

I can't speak for Bill, but according to Haley, I am a worthless, two-bit, good for nothing scumbag who registers for races and doesn't show up.  (Wait a minute...uh, I guess part of that is accurate).

I never said such a thing!! I said I was just giving you a hard time.

We'll miss both of you guys.

nanny-nanny-boo-boo...I made Haley come back to the thread. 

Hey Haley, will you send a batch of those brownies down here so I can at least be there in spirit with you guys on Monday?

Two posts and you still haven't explained why you're not going to be there.

Finances/Family commitments/Training

Finances are a little tight right now, especially with IMCDA only a few weeks away (holy crap it is expensive to get to Idaho).  I've had offers from some very cool BTers to help with transportation and hotel, so that helped the financial issues.

Family commitments -  long holiday weekend.  Originally planned on bringing family to CapTex.  Became impossible due to other things (daughter's friend's birthday party, etc).  Didn't want to leave them behind for the three day weekend.

Training - Because of all my knee problems and bike problems in March and April, we got a little behind on my long bike rides.  Need to do a century ride this Saturday.  Thus, even if I drove up to CapTex Sunday, racing Monday would be risky from an injury perspective, not to mention my performance would probably not be very good.  With only a few weeks until CDA, I decided it was best to play it safe.

I am bummed because CapTex was my first race ever and it is a GREAT event.  But this is the right decision.

Okay, so those are some pretty legitimate reasons. It still sucks that you won't be here.

HELL NO! You want them you have to come up and get them!

Maybe after CDA you might get a package.

I'm a lot of that too.... but I STILL SHOW UP!

Stick to your plan brother - if this works for you, would love to see you - if not... well, we'll be racing together soon enough!

One more pre-race post.

I'll have a couple of pounds of spaghetti, a bunch of marinara sauce, probably a huge salad, and plenty of bread.

Here's the list I have so far as attending and what they've said they'll bring, if anything:

CitySky - Veggies for the grill (? This was early on, so I'm not sure if you still plan on this)
zia_cyclist +1 - dessert of some kind
dgillen
comet - brownies
jeepfleeb
sebjamesm
nytrigal + 1 - will make garlic bread
nette213 + 2 - will bring something, but not sure what
vegas
lisaj1 +1 - will also bring something, but not sure what
cajun

That's a total of 17 folks counting my wife and me. Anyone not listed, please let me know. Also, if anyone is unsure of how to get there, let me know that too! Looking forward to getting together.

I'm gonna have to be a last minute decision as my sister is due with her first baby on Saturday. The extended family is squating at my house waiting for her to pop. I am definately racing on Monday so if I have to miss Sunday, I will look for everyone in their BT gear before the start. I am in the Male 35-39 AG so I will have some time to walk around and look for people.

Insider BT tip: the easiest person to find at a race is usually Aaron (JeepFleeb) - go check out his photo albums to see what I mean. He's M20-24.

My wave, W35-39, actually starts fairly early for once. Which is good, you can all give me a shoutout when you pass me on the bike! I'll be wearing a light green JAM! trisuit so that is pretty noticeable...
