So far, it's worth staying until Monday. Anyone upping the ante?
I liked the hike/climb we did in '06. I was envious that I didn't go on the mt bike ride...
I'd even love to get in some really brutal workouts on Friday and Monday. Nothing like training with like minded people. And GQ...

I just need to know what kind of outdoorsy clothes to bring (hiking vs running vs ???), and rain is not an excuse. Tornado, maybe, but not rain.

For those of you looking to fly on the major carriers, grab some Vaseline in light of the recent airline foldings.

Is there a registration page yet, trying to book a flight and don't want to confirm the reservation until I know exactly what is going on.
When are people flying in/out? I was thinking of coming in last Thursday and leaving Monday.

For those who missed it mentioned/updated in another thread since registration cost hasn't directly been mentioned in this thread:
registration = $175
hotel rate = $59/night
airfare or fuel = $arm or leg
(add your "priceless" option here)
Who wants to road trip and/or split a room?

Probably be the only way the wife will forgive me for ditchin' her and the kids, is to come home with a huge diamond for her. |

Hope it works for you, Neil. It would be great to drink a few beers with you again (though we'll have to change your brand this time ...  )

I haven't had a drink in 60some days. I may not make it past drink #4 this year. 
(and yes, I will be driving, but I am going to be choosy about who gets to ride in my car.  )
