My calendar is surprisingly devoid of any events this Sunday. I may join you and Clifford in the 5s.

off topic shmoff topic! there are zillions of races @ FBF. faced with the choice of making a new thread or posting in the most active FBF thread, i gambled that posting here would be less annoying. but perhaps i gambled and lost

Just a reminder, registration closes tomorrow at noon. Can't sign up at the race, pre-reg only.

Last year they said no day of reg and then let folks register day of. Not sure what you should make of that.

Bring a filled-out waiver, see what happens?

I'm coming out Tuesday. Only raced Floyd once last year, so looking forward to doing it more this year (unless you count the TTT where I won my first PRO-123 race as a 4. No I will never stop bringing this up even though we were terrible).

Which means I'll be a total non factor. But willing to help out whomever (Ragot grammar Nazi time?) is going for whatever.

The weather service predicts very windy conditions for Sunday. Classic conditions for FBF n'est ce pas?

5:45 - check with Charlie as he generally needs less help now that folks have their numbers and only need to pay and hand over a waiver to check in.

Gonna try my damndest to leave work early. This would be my official usac recorded 10th 5s race which would be nice to sneak in before Saturday's park race.

Mark Clifford

Jun 04, 2013 at 02:04 PM

i'll be there tonight.

and could i ask a favor of someone? on my commute in this morning my drivetrain started squeaking a little, but i didn't bring lube with me. if it's not too much bother can someone take along a little bottle with them tonight?

^ yang -- if you want to race in PP saturday, don't upgrade beforehand. there are only 5s and 40+ fields.

mperlberg

Jun 04, 2013 at 02:32 PM

@ Mark I'll throw some pro-link in my bag.

David Yang

Jun 04, 2013 at 02:33 PM

@Clifford - Good catch, guess I'm a 5 for at least one more weekend. What time you getting to FBF?

Re: Squeaky drivetrain, grab a salad for lunch and ask for straight olive oil on the side. FIXED.

I'm heading out to Floyd tonight.

I would think Italian dressing would give the drivetrain the necessary flavor. . .
