Michael,

I'd forgotten that we are bringing two of our friends.. would it be a problem to add them to our dinner reservations? or just squeeze them in?

Let me know if it'll be a problem..

Thanks

Will

Don't think it will be a problem to squeeze them in.

There is a slight chance that I might not be there Saturday evening. My best friend is claiming she wants to come visit, but we'll wait and see if it actually happens.

No problem.

Are you still planning on Tour de Goodwill?

Did you get the link that I sent?

Yes, I am doing tour de goodwill and I did receive the link. Thanks, I will sign up under that.

I already emailed sportspectrum with this question.. but I imagine that they are swamped right now and might not make it to my question so I figured maybe someone here who was at rivercites last year can help me out..

I'm trying to get as much information for my wife and our friends to know what to expect when they show up to watch. most specifically the after party..

will they be expected to pay for food? will they be able to eat any of the food?

I'd hate to bring them all over only to have to sit and watch everything and not be able to participate in the fun..

Thanks
ws

I'll be able to visit at Subway for a little bit, then I'm off to my in-laws' 60th anniversary reception followed by attending a wedding. You'll be able to recognize me because I'll be a little overdressed for Subway. I'll also be the one chain smoking virtual Virginia Slims. Not getting a bit nervous....Nope.

Waskelton, I don't know if anybody answered you with respect to setting up a tent thingie (don't know the name for it), yes, there will be room. With respect to food, the marina will be open (really close to the transition area) and they have all sorts of food and drinks. I can personally recommend the black angus cheeseburgers.

I don't know that much about the race site food. I know they had a lot last year but I wasn't in the mood to eat after totally blowing up on the run. I know the smaller races around here are very accommodating to families and encourage them to eat the food, but I honestly don't know if that extends to families of 1300 racers. Regardless, the marina should take care of their food and beverage needs during the race.

See you soon!

OldAg, you won't be the only one there with a camelback. Just looking at the wave starts (the last one starts at 8:50), the last wave won't even start the run until around 10:15, so yeah, everybody needs to figure out hydration on the bike. If that means a camelback, so be it.

I think we may be booked up Saturday but I sure will try to find everyone Saturday. Post race #'s if you can Saturday. Do we have a master list of who all will be there???

OK, I went through this thread, here's the list of BTers that said they were coming:

RACING

the bear (John)

chop (Kathy)

mnewton (Michael)

waskelton (Will)

OldAg92 (Brandt)

Manatee Express (Ken & Mrs. ME?)

tboepple (Terry)

ajax1868 (Jeff)

Christie

Michael

lynda

ATTENDING

grvfrog (Gina)

kanoelani (Jessi)

Please add and edit as you wish!

Since I will be picking my packet up tomorrow to avoid the rush on Saturday, anyone opposed to me posting what SWAG you get when you pick up your packet or had you rather be suprised?

Doesn't bother me at all.  Also, if you can post the wave times (I'm particularly interested in Clydes) that would be cool. 

Not a problem. I had planned on doing that anyway.

if I'm getting a new bike.. let me know so I don't have to bring mine..

Good thinking, Will.  Come to mention it Micheal....let me know if my packet has a Honda Element in it, ok?  I could cancel the plane trip home and save a few bucks

Yeah, post that swag list so I can decide if I need to bring my utility trailer or just rent a U-Haul when I get there.

If anyone is coming in to town on Friday night and likes the Robbie Seay Band, we are having them at our church for $5. (8-10 pm)

Email me for further details if you are interested.

Yes please post. My boss Francis is on here time to time and will be racing as well. We will be there at packet pick up on Saturday and Subway for lunch. I will be the big Clydesdale wearing a white Austin Tri-Cyclist t-shirt and black NFL hat.

We are hitting the road around 1:30 from Dallas tomorrow and I hope to be belly up to a poker table by 7.

Look forward to meeting everyone...finally.

Jeff

WHAT IN THE WORLD AM I DOING AT WORK TODAY!!!!!
