Anyone going. I have 3 empty seats in my truck leaving from seattle. 4 if you're friendly.
No one has claimed them and I hate to drive 3 hours alone.
(ie, I need gas money)


Alternatively, anyone leaving from seattle who has one empty seat. We can go Friday night or uber-early Saturday morning.

Tyler,

My wife and kid arent into it so i am solo. The weather outlook is harsh, but i dont wanna bail since ive wanted to check it out, and Ive said i'd go. Im down for an early saturday. If we pooled (in your truck) I could meet you in Olympia just off the freeway. Theres a starbucks if you need refreshments..... Are you 100% going??? I know Tacoma Lad, and Megan Black were also interested in the race..... Problem is getting everyone together to pool and still get there early. When we did hood earler this year (not a race) it was just about 3 hrs from OLY to the bottom of hood.

Ill watch this thread for more info......

Sounds good. I'll drive. We'll meet at the Starbucks in Olympia on Sat morning.
D, get more specific with directions.
I'll look into practice times and pin down a time.
If Megan Black wants to come, that would be fine.

Practice times are early on Saturday: Lift opens 9am to 10:30. Race is at 11:30.

Sure you guys don't want to leave Friday night???

I'm okay if Saturday morning is the only thing we can do (what would that be...about 5am?), but can I park at someone's place? I'm up in Bothell.

Oly can't leave Friday, so blame him for making you get up early.
With a short practice, I would like to get there at 8. That means leave Olympia at 5. Ouch.

If we left friday where would we stay? I'd get up a few hours earlier saturday and not have to sleep in a cramped pickup cab with 3 other peeps.... Plus its supposed to rain so pitching a tent might not be so good.

Nate and I can pool together though if you and megan wanna go friday night. I wanted to catch that movie, but didnt realize it was the night before the race. Damn timing......

Either way is fine.

I have a little car (a.k.a. good gas mileage) with a rack for 2 big bikes, so whoever this is that wants to go Friday night, I can pick them up.

If not, I'll just squeeze in witch you guys Saturday morning and just complain the whole time!

j/k, it's really no problem Saturday morning.

I'll be at the movie premier. Why not, Friday night just opened for me and I think I'll just bag the sleep idea anyway! Plus it'll get me that much closer to Olympia...

Dancing and Jaeger shots after the movie until 3am anyone?

;)

Is that your usual pre-race warm up?

Well, so far I've only done one race, but now that I think about it, there was a prelude of Jager shots and a 3am bedtime ;)

Might as well start a precedence!
