Hey...where are you flying into? I can pick you up. Hey..you know what. If you fly into Minneapolis, I can pick you up and drive you to Madison with me (about 4 hours) but I have to come back on Monday :>(. If you fly into Madison for sure I'll get you from the airport to the hotel. If you want to stay till later in the day on Monday I can take you back to Minneapolis then. You could fly out Monday night or stay at a hotel near the airport. Anyway...let me know. I can give you a ride so that you don't need a car.
@ Sheryl-Thanks for the offer. I had to reserve 5 nights, so don't leave til tuesday. The hotel has a free airport shuttle, so will probably fly into Madison. I'll let you know about the cruiser. I am on the fence about renting a road bike while out there. May be ride out for part of course in reverse? I'll be training for marine corps marathon at time, so will decide loser to date.
@ Michele- You don't have to pay to use the shower
Thanks Tracy! I would never take advantage of another hard working APN. Of course you might find me asleep in your shower, at least that was what I did last time but it was a shower stall and I was in a weird position so I only dozed off for a few.
There will be pictures a plenty- even if we have to stage one on Saturday! It should also be part of the book!
For spectators/sherpas, if anyone wants to borrow my (old-school, super heavy steel) mtn bike to get around town, just pm me and it's yours for the week/weekend. Not sure what size it is, but I'm 5'6" and it will fit a pretty wide range. I could probably round up another (larger) mtn bike or two if needed.
I'm not racing that weekend, and will be in town the entire time for sherpa-ing and spectating. I'd be down for playing chauffeur if people need rides anywhere on Fri/Sat/Mon. Like maybe a grocery shopping field trip, or a group trip to the local Fleet Fleet store, pick up from hotel for group dinner, or whatever. We can coordinate during race week. I can enlist other friends to help out, too.
Hey Thanks Michele... Nemo?? and others let's remember this. how nice of you..!! for sure it sounds like we need you to take a group pic. again let's sort this out. right now I can't think.. but as I become more anal.. we will come up with a time/place esp at camp when we can see the landscape. normally the Big Gatorade bottle is a good spot as you can see the thiing!! and normally after we all get checked in we can be relaxed for said photo! but I love it. I can't believe all of the support and sherpas!! so we need Sherpa pic too!

Great- we will be close to you @ Hyatt Place! People can shower there too. I will be bringing up the rear, so folks can be clean and dry by then
