What's the plan?

Saturday: 3.5 hours with lotsa ME and SFR. It's supposed to rain in the afternoon so I imagine the kidlets will wake me up early.

Sunday: Paskenta... Staz, El Gigante, AWfoSho, and TK are planning on grinding out the 100 miles with most of the DBC Elite Team. We're gonna drag the radios out even if we look like a bunch of Fred's just so TK and AWfoSho can log some air time (read: practice) all mic'd up with the rest of the Elite Team. It's supposed to rain all day in Chico so I'm thankful that I've been requested to drive support. That way I can be yelling into the radio all toasty warm in the car while the kidlets suffer like drowned rats. Hopefully nobody will flat. That way the closest I'll come to getting wet is when I roll the window down to hand up a bottle.

I know what I'm doing all weekend. I'm hoping that many of the other kidlets will be down in Fremont grabbing hold of a last dosing of experience before the real thing kicks off at Cherry Pie next weekend.

Speaking of Cherry Pie... looks like 50 or so ankle biters are reg'd for the 15/16-17/18 race. some familiar names, but lotsa new faces too. I've got an inkling as to how this one is gonna turn out, but I'ma gonna keep me thoughts to meself for the time being. As for the younger young'ns, I see Dishes is all set to do battle, but rumor has it that Karch has plans to turn the cranks in anger as does Kelbster. I've got my pick for this race too, but will withold its secret as well. Gotta say I'm looking forward to seeing how all the DBCJRT kidlets do in the adult races... good test of the early season form.

Speak up... let me know what your plans are. Riding? Racing? Couchin' it watching good commercials on Sunday?
