blind date 2013 starts in less than a week! crazy. we've been hard at work planning our little exercise party and can't wait to get this season fired off proper. a few notes in convenient bullet point format:

-please pre register! with number and t-shirt pickup, the first night can be a complete circus. OBRA's seamless online registration system allows you to knock some change off your entry fee and get to warming up and goofing around that much sooner. the deadline for pre reg is the stroke of midnight on monday, so don't forget.

-21st avenue bicycles/fat tire farm will once again be providing their skilled technical services for racers, as well as distributing prizes and offering love advice. don't be afraid to swing by and ask about proper tire pressure, why your chain falls off when you remount, or talk about your feelings.

-castelli has gone and redesigned the leaders jersey, and dare i say it's the raddest one yet. it actually makes me want to "train", but i know that will make not winning one hurt that much more.

-fine dining will be offered by http://www.thevegancaterer.com/ , who has been involved with blind date for many years and has a gift for creating delicious and compassionate dishes.

-the http://btaoregon.org/ and http://islabikes.com/ will be running our hotly contested kids cross race, starting at 5pm. it's pretty much the cutest thing ever, and everybody wins!

-stumptown coffee will be supporting us once again with coffee primes, prizes, and the occasional cooler of their cold brew. yes.

and as always, please respect the dairy by not tromping around on the manicured fields or bringing any alcohol to the venue. they are incredibly gracious hosts, so lets be cool.

thanks!
-tony and joe
