Who's racing Deland next weekend?
I'm planning on the RR Sunday (still a 3 *sigh*). The circuit is too wide open with no selection... first race of the season + new racers = field that's way too nervous for me.
That said, I may try doing 30+ in some races now that they've aligned masters with USAC.

I'll be there both days for the cat5's... Not looking forward to the 8:30AM start time, especially seeing that I work until 10 the night before.

I'm doing some six hour mountain biking event Saturday. I'll probably show up in Deland for a road race on Sunday.

Have fun, sounds like an awesome event!
I'll be there both days...didn't do the circuit last year. Liked the road race - it was kinda flat for my taste but I did like the rolling enclosure! I'm hoping that the some of the regulars will be in the at the Tour of the Bahamas so we can get some easy money!

Just paid my renewal online and I guess I'll need to print out my authorisation before Sunday. I doubt I'll get the card in the mail before then.

Just looked at the Swamp Classic flyer and the Gator BB schedule. Looks like I will have to give up my 4 rows off the floor ticket to the Vanderbilt game to somebody. Damn.

That reminds me...I still have to renew with USAC and Gearlink.
I'm glad to see the Swamp Classic is back downtown. That was always a fun course.

I plead the 5th. trying to restrain myself and leave the questions to kensuf. Easier to Just ask Kensuf he probally forgot more knowledge relating to cycling then Ill ever know. asking on here usually gets me in the penalty box.

I think he was talking to YMCA. 
But don't ask me, talk to Kent. He's got the knowledge.

I hate the Downtown bricks because I ride them about 2 times per day. I live just south and east of the course and the bricks are on my usual commute. I think that I know each and every one.
And the concrete around the one manhole cover is not nice.
