Tuesday— We will be going to Bens Bells today to complete our work trade. Civilian clothes and smiles.
Wednesday— Long, recovery pace ride. Bring lights and vests for the cold. All are expected to come prepared.
Thursday– Packet pick up and special guest speaker. I will try and post a video of whom it is. Please all watch and do some home work on the man. This is a big deal and I want you all to be knowledgeable about him, so as to create -a dynamic discussion.
Friday- Team dinner! As mandatory as I can make it. 5pm meet at Stone Curves. 6pm food hits the table.
Saturday– El Tour
109 milers– Start line at 5am
67 milers– Start line at 9am
