Wes, depending on timing/cost I'm up for doing first aid training, it's been a few years since I did mine (though mine was more aimed toward the "you're up the creek with no paddle" style - even superglue was a part of our kits to glue peoples parts back together in times of dire need - yeah, it can get that bad :| Battlefield first-aid, mmhmm)

Sucks to hear about the dooring, jeesh.

Any deets re: Rob and his location would be good times, I'll swing by after work if he's still around downtown.

Now that cavernmech described the incident (ouch, btw), I think it'd be a good idea to REALLY stress to folks that they take the parking lot back to the hangout/start area rather than the road. Maybe if we have a finish-line crowd that can holler at finishers once they start back as a reminder.

My .02 on the place: I liked the OP venue (was the runoff comfortable for the fixed guys? it seemed short-ish), the BMO field lot seemed to suck, but if the Ex will let us stay on the road there, that's sweet.

I've been offered my buddies fixie to race tomorrow, but I can't face the idea of being a n00b AND running 52/16, so I won't be partaking - have fun, keep safe.

Anyone know if Nadirs 90k alleycat is track/FG or open?

Also: anyone got any spare eggbeater cleats or a lead on where to get them, I want to get my other shoes hooked up.
