Hurrah! Well, it's a partner's race, so if you don't have one to begin with, you'll be able to find one at registration. Everything's better with two! I'm glad you're coming!

Btw, there will be fire burlesque during the skids comp. Like a backdrop of live, firey, burlesque proportions. Who's going to miss out on that??

road bikes are rad!

you can get a partner at the race--just pre-register now to get free entry to the dance party on Friday at Lenny's. Like I said, e-mail me about a place to stay (jes@sopobikes.org).

That goes for you all--PRE REGISTRATION ENDS FEB 2. DO IT NOW!

I am helping people find places to stay that are coming in from out of town

The race starts at 7.

As for out-of-towners, seriously, it would help us (the race planners) A LOT if you would pre-register & let us know you need a place. We have tons of people wanting to put you all up, we just need to know if you're coming.
