Early Bird #4 and Meet the Teams Day – January 27
| January 27, 2013 | ||
| 9:00 am | to | 4:00 pm |
Team,
This coming Sunday it is the annual Early bird Meet the Teams Day.
I am planning on bringing out and setting up the full monty (tent, chairs, tables, food, wheels etc).
Please make an effort to ride on by and hang out. the more people who see us, the better advertisement we are. (of course until they hear Baxters potty mouth)
I am trying to arrange for Chipotle to provide 30 meals, but they are strangely radio silent. If we do get the goodies, food should be available about noon.
Weather is looking dodgy. If it rains, the Meet the Teams effort will be moved to the following Sunday (Feb 3rd)
