I am looking forward to seeing everyone and I hope everyone has a safe trip out there. I am leaving late on Tuesday, in case anyone forgets anything.

I'll be posting twitter updates: https://twitter.com/BikeyNomori

Is anyone bringing a MIG welder? I need to shore up my tire trailer a little bit.

From what I understand from Greg - the classes are set per the entries on Sept 1. And there were/are 5. So we even have a tire up for grabs.

The nationals contingency payout is ironic. Last year, I went through a lot of tires and only walked away with 2.

Here's a link to live timing from the Nationals:

Giddy Up!

It's also available on your smart phone Race Monitor app.
