Fellers - T minus 80 some odd days. Incredible. Is it right that I actually remember their being a 200-something on the timer...? Anyway, just went for a long run around Nice, then to the IM expo, and it reminded me of some of my strongest memories from Canada. For what it is worth I thought I would share as people start planning.
Maybe it will be a little different bc Madison is much bigger - but I distinctly remember the pre-race environment. We drove into Penticton on (I think) Tues or Weds. I remember hitting the town edge and seeing tons of tricked out bikes, all sorts of shaved legs, and more spandex than you can shake a stick at. All week just walking around, going to lunch, etc was an experience. We'd get up - do something - nap - do something - nap - do something....
I have a commitment in Germany the last week of August, first week of Sept - and T will be teaching - but I am going to try to get to Madtown as soon as possible to soak in the experience.

Unfortunately I probably won't be there until Thurs. night or Friday morning.
But I think if I was there too early it would psych me out.
I think I booked Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, but now that you mention it, I need to check I think because I don't remember.
