Subject: The real B.T get together thread. Please respond

So here we go.  We did decide on Saturday October 13th for our B.T get together.  I will repeat some things and others will be new.  Please respond to this thread if you can make it or even if you think you might be there.  Also feel free to bring non B.Ters and kids.  My 11 and 5 year old will be ready to entertain others.  I will be giving a 3:00 bike tour of rural New Prague on Saturday.  This will be a pretty casual ride.  I'm figuring about 14 miles or so and should take about an hour.  If not riding I figure we will return from the ride around 4:00 or so.  If people can start getting here around then that would be cool.  Hopefully the weather will be typical October weather, in other words nice.  Kelly and I will provides burgers, hot dogs, buns and condiments.  If you want something else to grill feel free to bring it, the Weber can handle a lot of stuff.  If people want to bring something to pass that would be nice but not expected.  It is BYOB (excepy for Tom who I owe a beer to) We'll plan on eating around 5:30-6:00.  After that we'll just sit around a blazing bonfire and shoot the breeze. Hint Hint if anyone wants to bring stuff for smores I have the needed cooking utencils. We have about 10 outside chaire so if you have a lawnchair to bring that might be good.  If we get bad weather we can either hang inside or if there are a lot of people I have a pole barn to socialize in also.  I hope many of you are able to make it.  If there are other B.Ters you talk to who don't always read the B.T site please pass this along.  I will post the directions to our place below.  If you want our phone # please send a p.m. and I would be glad to send it.

Our address 1800 East 260th Street   New Prague, MN 56071

We are south of the Twin Cities area somewhere between Lakeville and New Prague.  If you know where Elko speedway is we are not far from there.

From the North or East.   Take 35W or 35E south until it turns into I35 in Burnsville.  Stay going south on I35 past Lakeville.  You will cross cr50, 185th Street and cr 70. About 5 miles south of c.r. 70 you will come to C.R. 2.  Turn right(west) at c.r.2.  From that intersection our house is 9 miles away.  You will go through New Market and Elko.  You will go through c.r.27, you will go through c.r. 23.  From c.r. 23 you are 2.1 miles away.  Our house is on the right hand(north) side of c.r.2.  Gray house with maroon shutters. You can easily see our house from the road. Blue address sign in front of the house says 1800.  If you hit the round-a-bout you have gone 1 mile to far.

From the West.  Take 169 South through Bloomington.  Stay on 169 all the way past Shakopee turn-offs and past Canterbury turn-offs.  You will come to Marschall road just past the Canterbury turn-offs.  Get off on Marschall and take a left (south).  You will stay on Marschall for about 8 miles or so and will hit a stopsign.  Go through this to the T at 13.  Go right(south) on 13.  Take this about 8 miles and you will come to a round-a-bout.  Go through the round-a-bout so you are heading East on c.r. 2.  We are exactly 1 mile from round-a-bout.  We will be gray house with maroon shutters on left(north) side of road.  You can easilly see our house from the road.  Blue address sign in front of house will say 1800.

Please call if you have any confusion with these directions and we look forward to seeing you all.

A couple of changes all ready.  We are going to provide sirloin burgers, veggie burgers and buns instead of hot dogs.  We'll also have all the smores stuff.  I would hate to have someone volunteer to bring the smores and not show up, I would be forced to put them on my lifelong enemies list and well...it's getting a little long.  I like smores.  That is all.

Bob and I will be there and we'll go on the ride too.  I was actually going to bring smore's stuff, specifically dark chocolate bars.  So how about a I bring a box of grahams, a bag of marshmallows and the dark chocolate to supplement what you were planning.  If there's leftover, all the better for you   If we cannot make it for some reason, we will messenger the items out there because I wouldn't want to be on your black list.  Thanks again!

Thanks to both of you for generously offering to do this. Our weekends in mid-october are pretty spoken for, but there is a chance I could sneak down for the bike only. I'll let you know closer to the time.

Thanks again for the invite -- it would be great to get to know all of you in person.

Hey, I'd would really like to attend--for the bike ride as well. However, I don't have a car. So, if anyone is heading down from the Twin Cities and has room for me (and my bike, if you are going on the ride), please let me know. I could also possibly borrow my roommate's car or something.

We four will be there - will let you know closer to the date whether we'll be riding. If we ride, it will probably be the four of us and we will fall off the back and find our way home.  Depends on how fast we run at Autumn Woods in the morning.  I'll definitely bring something for food...but three weeks is a long way away and I won't know for a while what I will have a taste for.  This will be fun!

I'm planning on the ride and the gathering. It'll be just me, though, as the kids have various baseball/football/soccer events that the husband will have to bring them to.

Devin - I admire your dedication to bicycle sports.  I would like to ride there.  My only concern is the trip home in the dark.  We can always give you a lift home as we will have a pick-up truck with enough room for two more bikes and two adults.  I assume you wouldn't be taking your boys on this ride, although maybe I am wrong?

Thanks. My strong suit is riding for sure. My Wife and kids are coming, so we would also that as an option for getting back. Just let me know your thoughts.

Devin

P.S This is an awesome day for a Tri party, as it is the date of the Kona Ironman!

I'm 50/50 right now Bryan. I wish I could give you a more firm answer, but that's the best I can do right now.

If thing work out it would be myself, my wife and 4 kids.

My plan is to come by myself. It's a crazy week for my entire family, but I will make sure to come for awhile. I would love to meet everyone and hear about the tri's that everyone did. I'm not too far from you so that will make it much easier. Thanks for putting this together. Looking forward to it!!

Great to see other people have also stated they think they are going to be able to make it.  Would love to see as many as possible.  If anybody is coming from the south and would like better directions please let me know and I will type them up.  Kelly and I will be gone all next week in Cozumel diving our hearts out.  Just wanted to let people know in case they thought I was avoiding any questions about the get together while we are gone.  See you all and have a great weekend.

I'm officially out, but thanks for the invite. One of these times I'll make it to a gathering and prove I'm a real person.

You have quite a list - should be a great time.
