It will become much more prevalent (aka: twitter.com) as time pases. At Shining Moon, the room was packed (albeit with crew/volunteers:) and we could watch the riders approach the gate w/o having to stand out there waiting for them!! I'll put the Sultan's cup link up when they are ready, and you all can see what it's like (as this will run during your daylight hours you can follow the race from work:) - btw: all the US riders are reporting good2go with some (very minor) issues. The weather -- when the sun comes out, its VERY hot. before one of the sweeping rain storms - a cool/strong breeze which almost penetrates the inland forage and after the rain - it FEELS cool, but it's very misleading. As to during the rain --- it's MUCH MUCH stronger than taking a shower - it's like having buckets of water dumped on your head ... jt =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
