  • Weekend of 3/8 works for me. What do you think? 4 days? An extended weekend?
  • 3/8 is a monday. I probably can't do the full week am looking at traveling on Wed to go Thu/Fri/Sat and part of Sun?

    Anyone else?

    P
  • 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.
  • either way for me, it looks like plus 2 possibly

  • I would be going out on the 10th...returning the 13th..
  • some of us are meeting in person to hammer out a few things on monday just fyi
  • DAn sounds good, get us notes. I am 98% in for that second week, think like 10th to the 14th...
  • Yea let us know...and we need to ping the rest of the IMSG peeps.
  • 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

    Happy Training

     

     

     

     

  • just heard mention of Kitt Peak...excited to try that one out!
  • Nemo - Maybe we can arrange some play dates for Joe and Brian!! image "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"

    Ha ha!!

    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.  

  • 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...

    How does that sound?

    P
  • 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?
  • olivia, sounds like march 9th (afternoon) thru the 14th, there is five of us from Des Moines coming, it sounds like we are staying east of Tuscon.
    Here is where we are staying
    http://maps.yahoo.com/#mvt=m&lat=32.182017&lon=-111.086819&zoom=17&q1=3400 S. Desert Lantern Rd., Tucson, AZ 85735
    Who else is in, it sort of slipped my mind to post this stuff
  • 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!! image
  • no worries olivia
  • 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!
  • bump, if anyone is interested in crushing Mt. Lemmon
