Heart of the Lakes

Anyone remember what they give for post-race food?  I seem to remember cookies...  Wouldn't want to double-up.  I think we need to coordinate buns better this year.  I seem to remember a bun surplus. 

I'll bring:

1. a bag of chips
2. a package of chicken sausages to share,
3. pack of hotdog buns to go with the weiners. 
4. And mustard.

I also have a huge bag of plastic silverware that I can bring, so no one should buy anything like that. 

Sorry you can't stay.  Say hi before you go!  Assuming you're not already packed and gone by the time I'm done, of course, which is a distinct possibility.

I'll bring a bottle full of pain killers and some venison beer sticks.  Kelly will bring me.  I'm sure we'll have some beer in tow also.

I'll bring Bryan and all his woes.  In addition, we'll bring some hamburger patties, buns and cookies.  Sorry Emily, HOLT did not have cookies to my recollection and I am a cookie fan. 

Oh, we'll bring the HIbachi too incase the grills have been sniped.

Kelly, if you're running low on space bring the grill and leave Bryan behind because they don't have many grills in the park. 

I wasn't reading the list very well last night.. Johnny is already bringing burgers.  We'll bring another bag of chips, cookies, ketchup and pickles.... and a grill.

Yay cookies!!!  I'm glad you're on it, Kelly.

Since I don't like beer (*gasp* the horrors!!) I'll bring some non-beer type beverages.

I'll also bring some fruit since I love love love it after a race.

At least stop by and say hi.

Sarah and I had talked about volunteering at this race, but we have spent every weekend for the last thousand weekends (it seems) driving all over the place.  As much fun as it would be to volunteer and then grill out with all of you, we just want to sleep in and have a lazy weekend.

Good luck, all of you, and have a grilled veggie item for us.

Definitely.  Judging from my bike pace last year, it must be pretty flat.  Hope to meet you!

Just got this on the GWTC list:

From MnDot - Motorists will encounter a detour on Hwy 55 in Medina between Highway 101 and County Road 116 beginning at 10 p.m. Friday, July 17 through 5 a.m. Monday, July 20, as work crews make road and drainage improvements.

Weekend travelers will detour from Hwy 55 onto Hwy 101 to County Road 10, to County Road 116 and back to Hwy 55.

Construction will extend for approximately five miles between County Road 116 and Fernbrook Lane.

Edit: I checked the map, this isn't too bad.  However, here's the route I am going to take as a total bypass:

Hwy 394/12 past Long Lake
Right on Cty 19 (past Baker Park)
Left on 55 in Loretto.
