Subject: Sunday - ride the Lake Mtka Course (and swim!)
On Sunday at 7 AM, SoberTriGuy and I will be meeting for a swim and then to ride the Lake Minnetonka Triathlon course. It's forecast to be hot as heck that day, so if you want to get in an early workout please join us!

Meet at 7
Get into water by 7:10 (so come earlier if you need more time to suit up)
Swim for maybe 20 mins?
On the bike by 7:45

I need to stay on top of the schedule to make some plans later in the day, so I think we'll be done by 9 at the latest.

We're meeting at Excelsior Commons park: http://goo.gl/maps/WZ5i

There's a building with bathrooms, that's the meeting place.

I'll try to remember a cable and lock for the bikes while we swim....   I'm also thinking of trolling a dare-devil 15 feet behind us to ward of the Muskies...

Oooohhh.  Tempting.  I'll try to make it for the swim portion (pending spousal approval), but don't wait around for me.

Glad you're doing this early, 'cause you'll have THIS in the afternoon...

Yikes!

Are you going to ride or drive there?

It would be excellent if you joined us. Yep, that's the reason for the early time!

Hopefully I can sweat off a hundred pounds or so..

Emily, I was planning on driving and getting there a bit early to drive the bike course as I am not familiar with it at all, however if you would like to meet at my house and bike that would be good too.

I'm in the Sunrise neighborhood on Sunrise Dr W.  The neighborhood right behind the Williston center..

I am debating about riding (because of the swim stuff), but if I do ride I will just meet you there. Mostly because I am lazy and can take the nice flat path the entire way

I will join you since our swim got bonked today with the lightning. My bike rack locks so you can throw your bikes on mine if you want to keep them safe.  It fits 3.  See you at 7!

Right on.  I went to the gym today and might have recruited one or two more folks...

Excellent, nice group! My bike rides in the car, so it will be fine (and could also fit another bike). I'll be there ready to swim and my husband will probably ride in and join us for the bike.
