I’m sure there’s some joke about ā€œused to be whiteā€, or ā€œthat’s not gravelā€, but seeing that I’m no Gravel rider I wouldn’t know where they are.

(Only kidding - I’m all for people wearing what makes them feel good/fast)

you’re Cousin Eddie from Christmas Vacation

I’ll be starting in white shoes and socks. Because why not? :laughing:

I missed the riders meeting today, can someone fill me in on any important info?

Looking forward to the race tomorrow, think conditions will be pretty darn good!

At least your shorts aren’t white

You didn’t miss much. Honestly, that could have been an email.

If you’re a 200 rider, download the updated course. The changes are marked on-course with stakes and pink ribbon (ie, if the stake is on the right, turn right).

Some ride advice from the mud year winners. An update on the downtown district/town/etc. A reminder that traffic laws do still exist in town this weekend :grimacing:

Had sick dogs all this week….Wednesday night @ 4:00am I barely get one out the door before he pukes. So I’m out there in my boxer briefs, t-shirt and MTB shoes because they were the only shoes of mine in the mud room, hosing down my deck.

All I needed was the Meister Brau. :rofl::rofl:

ETA - good luck to everyone riding tomorrow. Hope it is great weather and the course is dry.

Good luck today everyone!

Despite everyone’s hand wringing about the weather it looks pretty good today with a nice tailwind to bring us home. Going to be a great day.

Jonathan Jacob (nickname: Jinglehammer) is an excellent road racer and was national amateur TT champ a while back. Wouldn’t say he’s the favorite but certainly a guy that can turn the pedals. Really I just wanted to tell you his nickname.

Anyone watching on Flo? Curious why some of the big names are kinda far down…Ashton, etc…

:slight_smile:

I don’t think they start streaming until 12 pm central.

I was just thinking about signing up for Flo, but their lack of transparency on pricing turned me off. It’s no where on the site and probably can’t be viewed until I start the sign-up process and give them my name and email. On one main page I found a ā€œPricingā€ link in the footer. Click on that and it rolls back up to ā€œSubscription Benefitsā€ section (screen shot below). Not a peep about pricing. And if it is somewhere, they’re sure making it hard to find. Efff that.

I’ll miss out on live Unbound, but there are other options for the Spring Classics and Grand Tours.

LtD looking strong. Any sightings of @AlexWild ?

I’ve read multiple places that Flo is lacking. I’m not signing up with them.
