Ran in to Kevin, Metha and Nick yesterday whilst they where planning the race. While I have no valuable check point intel to report, they did allude to the theme of the race as well as some of the other events being coordinated for the weekend. For starters, there is talk of the MASH DVD premiere being held the Thursday before The Orlando Bicycle Weekend. The shoe pimps @ Beta are planning this little shindig with the venue yet to be announced. If it goes down, this will be a bangin' way to start off a hectic ass weekend!
Other things they were willing to reveal consisted of the theme of the race. It's called the Florida Flurry so expect ice related themes to make an appearance. Nick mentioned something about "interactive check points" so I'm expecting a fair amount of hijinks during the race. They also mentioned they are in need of volunteers to staff the check points.. Anyone interested in helping out in this manner contact Nick or Metha or hit the Orlando Critical Mass or the Orlando Rat Race myspace pages...
Man this is shaping up to be one hell of a weekend! In addition to all the events, there are also lots of after parties planned the entire weekend so expect the shenanigan threat level to be in the red all weekend long.. Things are looking up in the 407 with lots of events, make sure you support and show your appreciation.
'nuff out of me... Go ride!
ez!
