Plans: - Stay at a friends/relatives home in DC area Go touring Saturday with Chris Russell-Wood (go easy on us Chris..), Tim Davies and any others (please join us). Saturday night, I may need to join my host for dinner and dance. Sunday - Breakfast and tour home. Possible Monday touring home instead.
Plans: - Ride up either Tuesday night or Wednesday-day. Staying overnight at my old college room-mate in Glens Falls, NY. Weds Dinner with ever-so-friendly PC800 gang at the Barnsider. Thursday - Check-in (If I haven't already) - go to TourExpo and buy stuff, possible local unguided touring with anyone interested.
As a side note for those from the rest of America - I live approximately 120 miles WEST from Gloucester and taking room accomodations at my abode for those who wish to make this day trip into a weekend.
Plans: a Social Event more than riding. Watch all types of Ferraris on display and on the track in different events. Not likely any crashes, but fun to see these beauties pushed to their natural abilities.
Plans: If on bike - leave Thursday, stay overnight somewhere,
arrive: Friday lunchtime.
If trailering bike with truck - Thursday, drive straight down to Deal's
Gap. (Note - FSL's plans at the Gap may supersede mine) Tour Saturday and
Sunday with the gang. Depending on weather, ride/trailer straight or stay
over somewhere. Possible tours include deal's gap (a few times),
blueridge parkway, and what-have-you..
Volunteer you and your motorcycle! They need as many riders and bikes as possible to move around staff, officials, and media people. I will be heading up on Friday. The volunteer meeting is Saturday AM and the race is all day Sunday (7am to 12 midnight). Monday is resulting and clean-up and there is a volunteer dinner on Tuesday. http://www.ironmanusa.com/indexnew.shtml Look for the volunteer section.
possible participants include Tim Davies, FSL, Greg Castle, and East
Coast Canadians
Plans: - I've never been before, but as a pledge, I am brushing up
