We (Finish Strong) wanted to inform all the participants of the wild fire burning in Hyde County, NC. The winds have shifted to the Northeast through Saturday morning, which means smoke will be blowing west from Hyde County all the way to Greensboro. Finish Strong, Washington Chamber of Commerce, NC Division of Air Quality, and local officials feel that the conditions for a triathlon are dangerous due to the smoke. The race has been moved to Saturday June 21, 2008 with all information i.e. start time, packet pickup, etc. being the same times and places.
Since we won't be at the triathlon, I am organizing a ride for Saturday morning, 6/14. Meet at Belton & Schrimper (time tbd upon feedback, but would like to be on the road between 6 and 7) and ride North through Red Oak and around through Spring Hope. Anyone else interested in going?
ReplyDeleteI am good for Sat Morning, I had hopes of racing in Washington imagining I was in Beijing for Olympics...given the current air quality ha ha,
ReplyDelete6:00 am sounds great for me,

ReplyDeleteI did not see this until now (2:15 PM on Monday) we rode at 7 on Saturday morning. We had 10 show up for the ride with 4 going for 22, 3 for 40 and 3 for 56. I need to get you my phone number so we can coordinate.

ReplyDeleteIs everyone still going to participate in the tri if they have it this week? I still plan to go.
Anyone else from RMEC able to go this week?
After a family visit, I am going to ride the mountains of Eastern Tennessee this Friday and Saturday, so I cant make it.

The only positive note to Jason not being there is that now I will finish 4th out of the RMEC instead of 5th...Of course, there are only 4 participants from RMEC, but it sounds better! ;-) HA!!!
ReplyDeleteNote: Packet Pick up is now at the race site on Friday evening - not at the gym.
