Doesn't look like I'll be free for Jorge's weekend either but I'm definitely going to be up doing a training weekend (or two) so I'd be interested in joining others. When we get closer let me know which weekend you're thinking about.

PennState - 2009-11-01 6:21 AM Maybe some of the re-paving is federal stimulus dollars?

Either way, the LP roads were way over due for it, so good news IMHO

jonmetz - 2009-11-01 7:20 PM I plan on doing a few training weekends in LP. Do we have confirmed dates for "Jorge's weekend"?

Monty - 2009-11-03 9:01 AM How early is too early to go up there for a ride as far as weather is concerned? Is early May fine?

Jorge has mentioned June 17-20.  Don't know if that's set in stone though.

JoshKaptur - 2009-11-04 10:00 AM I have no idea how I missed this thread, but I was in before all of you.  I deferred my CF slot after I crashed in April and was unable to do this year's race.

The bad news is I'm still picking a piece of gravel or sand out of my hip or leg (which was cleaned at the ER) about once very 2 weeks... the good news is I've been running a lot over the past few months.  Even better news is that I finally, a couple weeks ago, replaced my totalled P2C with P2SL.  I'm pretty sure I was one of the few 2010 atheletes that did not have ANY bike as of October 2009.

My sit-bones are re-adjusting to riding in general, so I can't think about the speedo now.

I also just got fleeced on a townhome a few blocks from transition (can you say 4br townhome for over 4Gs), but between sharing with my Uncle (also doing the race, just won his AG at chicago) and our 12 combined jock-straps... the costs should get more reasonable.

I'm planning to pass a lot of you on the run... I'll memorize your butts while you ride away on the bike.

I'm also leaning towards Harriman as my tuneup, now that Black Bear does not offer the half (which I was REALLY disappointed to discover).

If you pass me on the run, it will only be because I'm already a lap ahead of you.
