Only left overs from prior years, I've been trying to save them so we can use them during the Series. For display purposes, meaning racing in them, that'll be fine. For the actual 2015 jerseys just the tight ones.

That's good. Layering under those things is impossible.

Plainville used to be Saturdays... I think they moved it to Sundays just to be aggro.

The weather looks deplorable on Sunday. And the answer is Tuesday at the earliest.

Tuesday. That's when the town has its emergency meeting about the race.

I spoke with someone in Nov 2014 about the schedule, and queried that someone about the P schedule for 2015 (it wasn't up on their site yet). That someone emphatically stated that the P races run 5 consecutive Saturdays starting the second Sat in March, and that's the way it always has been, that's the way it will be, and that everyone except ****ers like me knows that.

I got blindsided by the schedule change when someone asked me what I thought of it while I was at a get together. Everyone there thought it might have been a typo at first but 3 or 4 of us checked BikeReg and the emphatically stated schedule was suddenly different, and changed yet again (to skip Easter, which it didn't at first).

Too far out. Having said that, the snow/rain probability for Sunday has decreased since this morning, so at least we're moving in the right direction. Currently calling for 30% precip in the AM, windy.

Got some stuff done, finally.

The thing about rain at Bethel is that rain is a non-factor safety wise at that course, versus the Rent. No hard turns. It's probably why I am pretty bad at cornering in the rain now, because all my wet races days have been at Bethel for many years.

Still unpleasant. Just safely unpleasant.

yes, battenkill. thanks for the info on the masters races. i guess that would mean cat 2 on saturday and 35+ for me on sunday--i'd almost certainly race twice if i make the trip. race 35+ with me!

@gsteinb, pretty sure the only field that would have you on Saturday is the 40+. P1 (ouchie) and 45+ are both Sunday.

That's not impossible, but there are some hard hitters in the 45+ field I kind of want to race with. Plus what's the point of surviving to 47 if you gotta race with 35 year olds in diapers and training wheels? Actually the 47 year olds are maybe more likely to be in diapers.
