I'm registered but currently sitting in the Orlando airport after a 10 day absence from home. I don't think I should rush home and dash away for the day and then fly back to Orlando on Sunday for another week's absense...After all the Mrs thinks I am coming home to see her.
Should I contact the organizers today and let them know that I won't be there in case someone else wants a slot?

I'll be there....I started a thread in the Racing forum, but this one seems more popular.....
Cat 4/5 Open. I'll be the guy in the plain red/black jersey with "ASSOS" in big letters on my mediocre/small-sized thighs, on the ugly blue Trek 2500.
Heading over to Granville, MA tonight (have a seasonal campsite up there), and will be heading up early Saturday morning to hang out and veg a bit before the race.
BTW, I rode once this week, and had pizza 3 days this week. Looks like everything is on target for yet another non-group finish

You work at the shop, next to the pet store, and across from Summer House? The place that sells all Specialized stuff?

It was actually fun. I arrived too late for the start so I perched myself on the finishing hill and took random photos (will post link once they finish uploading to Flickr). Since there were quite a few groups going at the same time and they were taking multiple laps peloton seemed to pass by every 10 minutes.
I think I have now been bitten by the racing bug and hopefully I will enter one in about a month and a half (once I have more miles in my leg). I suspect I'm gonna get my butt kicked 7 ways to sunday.. but what the heck, it looked like fun.
