Yep. That works. So traveling on 3/3? or on 3/10? I've been keeping my whole month of March free to try to fit something like this in....so anything works.
You folks are KILLING me! I'm now trying to figure out if I can join you all by packaging this up like a vacation for BOTH Joe and I and having him join us. Hmmmmmm, pretty sure he'd see right through that one.
I hear you Nemo. I really want to go, but financially doesn't match other goals.
Ok- for social side of things.
Favorite restaurant- Mexican, more upsacle, Cafe Poca Cosa downtown tucson
Coffee shop- Raging Sage ( on campbell just north of grant rd) it's like a little house, nice courtyard. They make thir own baked goods. Really good scones
Beer- Nimbus brewery, or went to a new one while there in November- Barrio Brewery- it really is in Barrio
Nemo - Maybe we can arrange some play dates for Joe and Brian!! "Here you go boys. You've never met, but you're going to hike, drink beer, etc. with each other for a few days. You're bound to get along. You have so much in common. You hardly ever see your wives, you've had to spend countless dollars on training tools, you get to stand around at races holding signs and ringing cow bells when your wives go by...etc"

We looked at where to stay and got some leads on some places one looks very good however it is pretty small considering 3 bed 2 bath, looks like 4 of us from the Des Moines area going, I'll post some links for places to stay when I figure out what has available rooms and what is booked.
Dan, please leverage the Team for this. I alone probably have 6-8 contacts I can ping re lodging in Tucson, etc. I think step 1 is dates + tentative numbers, firmed up. Step 2 is location generalized. Step 3 is lodging options...
So who's all going to be in Tucson? I'll probably stay with my Aunt who lives down there so won't likely need to coordinate lodging, but will want to coordinate training and stuff with the team. Did we settle on 3/10 ish through 3/14?
I am coordinating my schedule. I have a conference to present at, so won't be there until Thursday Night, training Friday/Sat/Sun, maybe Monday...still waiting on details...who else is in?
Alright. Change of plans on my end. Going to St. George with Stark, Tom Brasher, and hopefully Mark Bauml, and a couple of others to recon the bike course and do some strategizing. Made sense based on the ability to drive there vs. having to fly etc. Would have loved to get out to Tucson with you guys....have fun!! And don't hate me for changing my plans!!
I am going to have to bag it as well...turns out I have a conference to go to in Minneapolis on that Wed/Thurs, so it's a non starter. I will join you guys next time...please continue to connect/share info here!

Ha ha!!
OOOOh, now that's not a bad plan!
Will do, meeting has been postponed until tomorrow @ 9 am. Weather here in Iowa looks like we might be alright.
How does that sound?
