Manifest Destiny

I am up late tonight putting the finishing touches on this year's manifest. here's what I can tell you. I have heard your cries and relented. It will be a gentler, kinder course than last year, however if you want to call yourself the All City Champ you are definitely going to have to earn it. I'm really stoked on the layout, it will force you into some of my favorite streets and traffic patterns in the city and is fast and flows well. If you attended the Spring Classics then some of this will seem familiar. (it pays to practice)

There are ten manned stops, which I will be posting up here on the blog at noon on raceday.
One of those stops is the time trial around Lake Harriet
There are unmanned stops as well, but you will have to wait for the manifest.

Please try to either pre register on Friday night or get there early on Saturday. It makes my job a lot easier if everyone gets through registration early so I can begin focusing on getting the race started on time. The sign up table will be in full swing by 4.

There will be a waiver to sign. Don't get cute with me or the volunteers and write in a nickname or "Haywood Jablomi" or anything else besides your legal name. This is not a joke to me or the sponsors, it is very important that the waivers are signed and valid. Unfortunately we live in a litigious society and I need to take these steps to protect my company and that of my sponsors who make this possible. Sign the waiver correctly. Don't be a douche.


Some things about the afterparty:

Bedlam will be serving food, so you'll be able to recuperate from the race and gather your metal for the night ahead.

I negotiated the best price I could for the drink specials and this is what we've got: $1 PBR twelve ouncers and $3 pints of Surly. Sorry it's not free but this is the best I could do for you.

If you couldn't make the race but come to the party you will have access to the beer specials.

And remember that the afterparty will be 18+ so that the young ones can join in the fun too.

Also last year's rain taught me a few things and I have contingency plans in place in case of terrible weather. So even if it's shitty out get your ass to the race.

I'll post some more info tomorrow. I can't believe the race is this week, I am preparing for what may likely be one of the greatest nights of my life. I suggest you do the same.
