"Hi Tigg,
You are correct on the "no" open fire pits... the venue is a working farm that accommodates us for a one week period. That being said the above ground fireplace you mention should be ok. We do reserve the right to any such fireplaces until we actually see it.
trust this helps,

That's pretty warm.douglas said:
This talk of good weather is bad luck, if it rains it all you's guys fault. Personally I am sealing the seams on my tent, teflon coating my bikes and waterproofing old swimsuits to wear over my smugglers to keep my ass dry.
National Weather Service is calling for highs of 76, 78, and 75 respectively for the three days...partly cloudy.
but: Max. Humidity= 51%, so that should be tolerable
my last xc race was warm: 90 degrees / 85 % humidity

then we will just have to throw you into the pond where my kids will be frogging, and if you give them a dollar they might even fish you out.Echo said:

I'm bringing wool socks and my mittens, for the foot of snow we gonna get Saturday night
actually, for me - bring on the rain & mud.......I like it
I'm more worried about freezing my ass off again. I swear I saw some snow flakes at the top of the climb last year, although hallucinations were likely.
Westy said:
well that might be the advantage of having the warmer days , is the nights won't get as cold. and so what is wrong with a few snow flakes.
I think you're getting confused with Old PuebloWesty said:
That is a warm forcast. I was expecting it to be a bit on the cool side and planned primarily hot meals for the weekend.
Its ok tho. I havent gone shopping yet. I will just bring cold cuts and salad. That should be alot easier and cooler for the racers.
NOT !!
Dont forget your biodegradeable shower kits. We dont want to poision the farmers field.
I have a small portable DVD in the camper too so bring movies if you want. I will make popcorn and you can shower then lounge by the fire drifting off to sleep watching "Breaking Away". Don't worry, someone will wake you for your next lap.

Is anyone taking Monday off from work? I was not planning on it, but am thinking about it.
I would have, but it's our faculty appreciation breakfast (and we get our last check) so I will go in.I Are Baboon said:

Hellz yeah! I got Mon. and Tues. off!!I Are Baboon said:
I was going to work, but I figured "WTF" and just asked for Monday off. Besides, it'll give me a chance to sit home and load pics all day. (plus I'll be able to rest up for 9:00 hockey game Monday nightTreeSaw said:

I'm working monday
today is sorta a rest day (2 hours of volleyball), wednesday is the weekly xc race, Thursday is definitely a rest day, Friday I'll try really hard to not ride much, or at least make the (pre) rides short & slow

Yep. Today is a rest day for me as well. (unless you count mowing my big a$$ lawn!) I'm planning a 30 mile road ride for tomorrow, off on Thurs. and then easy pre-ride(s) on Friday.
Steve (Goddy43) and I should be rolling in to Dalton around 2pm on Friday. Do the rest of you guys have time(s) planned to pre-ride, or are you just going to play it by ear?

I have to work Monday because I've pretty much used up my vacation time already. 
I've also taken the last 5 months off to carbo load and save all my energy for Dalton. I expect to go right for my fat stores to fuel the climbs and still have enough extra mass to help me carry speed on the downhills

Anytime between 10am and 3pm. Undecided as of now. Why...are you free?Goddy43 said:
Where are your priorities man!?!?Goddy43 said:
I will be taking Monday off to drive home. Will crash at my brothers place Sunday night in White Plains. Of course that is even if I make it there. A customer is demanding I stay at their location and work the weekend, hopefully someone will be able to cover for me. Although a t this point I'd be ready to resign over the whole thing with all the BS they have been putting me through.
I will Be working Monday , Have to get rest somewhere!
Today I rode commuted to work and rode hard at lunch , will ride hard home .
then Wendnesday and thursday will be rest days and friday , make it a nice and easy pre-ride or 2

"demanding"Westy said:
I thought it was funny too. Barring major problems in traveling 2500 miles in the next few days there is little they can do to stop me.Echo said:"demanding"
Looking at teh forcast again , this could make it interesting
Sunday: A chance of showers and thunderstorms before 8am. Partly cloudy, with a high around 72. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

So, any suggestions on how to heat up homemade mac-n-cheese on Friday night? 
It is nice to hear that you have followed the Stuntmatty and Instigator training planSorgie said:I have to work Monday because I've pretty much used up my vacation time already.
I found that I have enough fat to ride up hills for the next 6 weeks, but it also ends up being at a brutally slow pace trying to fight gravity with all that extra weight

It's like four outdoor wooden stalls...they are individual showers. Not bad, but cold water only.Goddy43 said:
