Some last minute venue info

This may be really helpful.....bring WATER. There is no on site water, so its pretty important to drag along some H20, you could get really really thirsty. Seriously.

Oh yeah, pre-reg closes on thursday night at midnight!!!! Bikereg says 12:30 am on friday....thats actually the first 12 of the day....midnight on thursday! So avoid the $10 day of registration charge and pre-register on bikereg today! Link is on the right side of your screen.
