My first MS150 -- what do you do all afternoon in La Grange?

I anticipate arriving between 12:00-1:00 in La Grange. This is my first MS150. For those of you who have ridden before, what you all do in La Grange the rest of the day?

Lets see,

- Shower
- Get a massage, if available
- Eat
- Rehydrate with Oat Sodas at your team tent, if none, visit Budweiser tent
- Check out the other vendors tents
- Eat some more
- Should be some bands playing, check them out
- Insure adequate hydration, grab another ice cold cerveza and watch all cute girls
- Find a place to hang out and tell lies until lights out at about 10:00

enjoy yourself... check out the bands, the girls, the bikeness, shower (the lines get long), I've never been bored, plus it's not like you'll be staying up till 2am (maybe you will but I won't)...

Y'all want to meet up at the fair grounds?

If not I'll be down the road drinking, eating, and fishing.

I never heard back from Team BP's archenemy, Team PB (Powered by Burrito). So sadly no, not on a team. I'm crashing at my wife's G-ma's.

Our campsite is just outside of La Grange. Depending on my time & distance, I may ride there just to check out the spectacle.

I'm with the Rocket Sprockets, and I'm told there's gonna be a cooler of beer, so I'm content. We've always had a pretty good brew selection in past, and the guy doing the organizing is stand up in that regard, so it should be good.

I plan to get to La Grange at 11:00am... I plan to drink a lot of cold beer and watch all of the riders come in.

Come look me up at the Cameron tent. I have attached a picture of the La Grange Fairgrounds and the Cameron tent is marked in red.

Oh, if you're bored you can do some 'reps' on the US 77 hill south of the river. Great view from the top. Enjoy La Grange! It's like Fredericksburg was 25 years ago-pretty much unspoiled by tourists. We'll be in La Grange the following weekend for the SW Tandem Rally.
