Going to the epicenter. That would be a great time, beside that Fort Collins is susposed to be a nice little town.

h*** yes, tour de fat rocks! some of the best bike events ive been to. Ive attended 7 so far, was hoping for a close one but me and the misses are going to the fort collins tour "flag ship". If anyone lives close to one of these you should atttend. not only a fun event, the people you meet are great and the money does go to a good cause. and you could win one of there bikes!

I understand that dressing up or wearing a costume is a big part of the event. Jon do you dress up? If so what have you done in the past?

[jon]

Still working on getting the time off. Yes it'll be both of us going if we can.

In Boise, about 20% of the people dress up. The dress code theme this year is susposed to be "the Summer of Love."

Tour de Fat for me this weekend. Woo hoo.

Going to ride Orange Crush in the parade. Hoping to get someone to ride my Townie down for me to ride in the Slow Bike Comp. It gives a better position for the finals. They force you to ride and drink at the same time.
