Ben, I agree with you.

For those of you who don't know me.  I own a white Nissan Xterra.  I will be in the parking lot probably around 8?  So just come up and say hi.  Not sure what I'll be wearing.

Ok kids, I have to ride 80, and 8 repeats of Sugarloaf did not make my list of fun, so...I'm gonna get there around 0615 or so and ride 30 or so miles, then meet up with coach at 0830.  If anyone wants to come early, feel free to come on out.  I drive a carbon metallic Expedition EL, ride a purty blue swirly Cannondale IM800 bike.  Or just call me.
