Tri Flow Grand Prix spectating & a birthday...
Any other BF'ers going to tomorrow's event to spectate?
On a related note, I just found out that one of our esteemed colleagues is having a bday soon and he didn't tell anyone. Hint: his name rhymes with "Twingineer" and he'll be at the event as a volunteer...
So putting two, and two, together I was wondering if anyone might be up for a "Twingineer" bday ride after the event.
In all seriousness Ron has been a big part in making me feel welcome, to the NorCal scene, since I started riding a few months ago. Me and him keep one another company as the faster riders disappear into the horizon.
So who's interested?

I'm up for it. It turns out I won't be course marshalling it, but would love to get a group together to spectate. What time? I figure I'd ride there from home, and get in some good mileage (something I really haven't done in over a month). Hopefully, this will also get a certain someone who hasn't been out riding, and who recently got hitched out on the ride. More riddles ...

It'd be fun to have a little cheering section.

Ms. I.
I'll be there; not sure how early though. I would like to see the cat 5 race at 9:00a but my races aren't until 2:15a and 4:05a. I'll probably show up by 10:50a to watch the women's 123 race.

Not sure what time everyone starts, but as BottleRocket says, the Cat 5's start at 9 am ... so that's what I'm planning for.

Was a great day for a race. Was a little bit on the chilly side if you were spectating in the shade. I only stuck around in the morning, and left after the women's elite race, which was cool.
Saw Henry there ... he got there really early ... his race wasn't until 1:30 PM
Catched the Men's Elite 5, and the Women's 1/2/3 race. Wow, that was fun. Cheered Tim (Bottlerocket on) ...
Here are a few pics
He's only 12!
Start of Women's 1/2/3
