Hey gang, I live pretty close to Bike Check-in, right off 64 in Apex. I was thinking it might be nice to get together with our online friends before we put on the boxing gloves Sunday.

There is a nice shopping area with lots of dining options, but one local favorite is Tyler's Taproom.
http://www.tylerstaproom.com/

Would anyone want to converge there at say 12:30 for lunch and a beverage of choice before heading out to Vista Point (or after you've checked in)? If you're interested in meeting up before or after bike check-in, post back here or send me a PM.

I'm totally in for the lunch. I had trouble replying to this post, kept bumping me to a weird view or something.

The cool thing about Raleigh is there are so many awesome places to eat/drink! I arrived last week and have been checking out all the local spots. Tylers Taproom was last night, good spot for sure! Those downtown at the Marriott or Sheraton have a ton of options within walking distance. The Hampton Inn at Glenwood South is right in the middle of a happening area, and the Doubletree on Hillsborough is walking distance to the bars and eateries on NC State!

Sounds fun! Pending family commitments (I have no idea what is going on that day at this point- haha) I should be able to be there.

You're meaning after your 13 mile taper run that morning of course?

Bill, I would definitely be interested. I have a friend staying with me for the race and we haven't quite figured out our schedule for that day but it might be fun.

Is this still on? I'm planning on being there at noon-30 after dropping off the bike. And just so everyone knows, I'LL be the bald geeky looking dude. Of course, if you've read the other thread, I don't think any of us could compare to the nerd factor of one of the posters there... ;-)

Yep. I'll be there about 12:30, wearing the blue volunteer shirt you saw at registration.
I'm Bill, by the way.

I'm fixing to head out now. I'll be wearing a blue 70.3 wristband ;-) I guess I'll also bring a trakkers visor in case that's hard to spot!

Hey - had to do an emergency visit to the vet this morning and running behind. Won't be able to make it to lunch. Have a couple of beers for me...

Good luck tomorrow! I'm number 870.
