Sadly I think I'm going to miss my favorite race. I've got a good excuse though: Lisa is due pretty much ON race day... So unless somebody knows somebody who can chopper me home from Stage Hill road if she goes into labor I'm gonna have to limit myself to participating via twitter for this one.

I'm bout it bout it.
Unless some surprising form arrives in my 34-year-old legs in the next few months, looks like I'll be pulling for Konrad.

it did last yearAaron Blum said:Should i just pull the trigger now? or is there a high possibility the reg will be full for the 4s?
Nov 18, 2013 at 03:48 PM
@Jules, sounds like you'll already be a winner that weekend and that Lisa will be in more pain than us all! We'll have to see if they make a commemorative swaddling jersey.

fellow battenkillers,
let's figure out the lodging situation soon so we don't get forced into overly expensive/distant accommodations. i assume we'll do some sort of shared rental. not suggesting we do something right now, but let's have it on the radar.

I booked a double queen size beds room at the Bennington Best Western. $25 per person (4 people max) with breakfast included.

Cat 5 field limits raised to 75. What could possibly go wrong? :P

does anyone have a wheelset they'd be willing to let me borrow/rent for battenkill (apr 5)? my rear wheel wear indicator says the rim should be replaced, so the lawyer inside me thinks using it at battenkill would be a bit...foolhardy.
i'm going to try to get new wheels before then but there's a chance i won't have new wheels of my own by apr 5.
msg or e-mail me, we'll work something out.

folks, what i'm really saying above is . . .
. . . battenkill tire choice?
Jan 09, 2014 at 02:57 PM
Yes (unless I sell the bike it's on before then).
Also, very preliminary: I'm planning to rent a room around there the night before. Should I be thinking of the night after as well?

Yang unless you want to do the fondo the next day, I don't think you need a room for the night-of.
