That is an hour and a half earlier than what I originally suggested. Where’s Brian’s say on this? I just found...

I’m all ready to race this Saturday, but the weather might not be. I am wondering how everyone feels about the day after (Sunday) for a raincheck. Brian, how about practice starting at 1pm Sunday and the first race starting at 2, if it happens to rain on Saturday?

Does anyone want to ride today? Should be dry at P&R.

Vlad, did you ever get Brian's timer?

Anyone want to practice slalom on Saturday (today)? I really want to, up until at least early evening. I need to get out of the house and I can’t think of a better activity to be doing on a 65f degree Spring day. NW winds 10-20 mph, so maybe it could be Fountainhead, but I’ll ride wherever.
