You all should try and come up some evening. Somehow I don't think that racing till 8 and driving back is a late night for collegiate types.

My sister in law lives in Florida. We're always asked to come visit. My wife is there now.
I really need to be more interested in where she lives so I could see if it was close by. Who knows? I might be down there one time.

Come down the weekend of September 19th. You can race the Sugarloaf "Mountain" road race on Saturday and then do a sub 4 hour century on Sunday at Swampman.

I'll see if any of my 352 mates will want to make the drive.

I like your jersey sponsor list. Any chance of beer or wine primes?

You know, we haven't talked to the club sponsors about putting up primes yet. Mostly working on food. I will check and see if I can score some of the products that cover our jerseys.

No racing for me. I got sick early in the week and I've just been trying to recover. How'd it go for you?

It is looking like WINE to the prime winners!

I'm so freakin' out of shape that you would have to time my sprint with a calendar. A wine/beer prime might motivate me, though.

I put out the word with my team captain that I want to go to do the series and I have a minivan so I can take at least two other teammates. If even one other teammate wants to go I am in.

Get motivated! If I weren't such an idiot the wine primes would have been mentioned above.
If you come up I'll make sure you have a bottle of wine to sprint for.

I wouldn't think so. It's pretty much just another weekend's races. I'm pretty sure people from Georgia will be there.
