Yay!

I'm actually looking forward to buying food at that Angelo's Market. Hungry already for it.

Yea I'll be sure to snag a sandwich and some coffee from there. It's really cool of them to be open for the race.

Going to make a point of it! They should put signs near registration.

Now 40% chance of snow for Johnny Cake (during the race). I don't recall that race ever being cancelled in the past so I don't know what their threshold is.

I've raced in horrendous conditions at Johnnycake. It's also a fundraiser. I suspect it will go on unless the roads are unsafe.

Supposed to be 45 and sunny tomorrow. And the city is all over the course. I'm going to go there with my own (more expensive and much more effective) salt to make sure that there's no ice/etc left tonight. I want it dry tomorrow. Blowing some salt off the course would be fine. Having ice patches would be bad.

I hope the City doesn't get mad at me as there are quite a few "friends of cycling" that aren't in the actual positions of getting things done, meaning they're not in charge of DPW or whatever. So all these "friends of cycling" are pushing hard to get stuff done for me (without me asking, they just reach and and explain to me what they've done). It's flattering for sure but at the same time I hope that no one is overstepping their bounds.

Also it just stopped snowing.

*edit still snowing lightly

I hope to be at Chris Hinds. What race you doing there?

I have to find someone to look after Junior.

I may do the m40+. Considering the 3-4s but I think I'm getting a bit old for the 3s, after watching a kid blast by me in the 3-4 race the first week of Bethel.
