Michelle, I am thinking about going too, and would like to save on car rental and gas. Are you flying into Burbank? Let's try to coordinate. I would like to try Fri am to Sun pm.

I. AM. SO. ENVIOUS.

No coasting in running and no crying in baseball

To help with ideas for the voluntary gift exchange, I'm posting some of what I'm bringing (everybody will hopefully go home with a souvenir).

1. Wine from Jordan Rapp's World Bicycle Relief Charity Raffle
2. "Welcome To Fabulous Las Vegas" bike socks
3. Ironman Buffalo Springs Lake TX t-shirt. I did the race 3X and only need one.

Other suggestions include extra race swag, a coffee mug, or key chain that will remind the gift recipient of where the gift giver is from.

Hi Erika,

I am flying into Burbank but will probably come in/leave earlier - I was planning Thurs arrival/Sunday morning departure.

I might be able to do that, let me know when and we'll see if we can make it happen.

Hey, if you could put your info here, trying to schedule at least one special guest.

I have a suggestion that doesn't cost $. I'm sure we all have a nice(ish) bike jersey or similar gear that no longer suits our needs or wants but is still in great shape. Why not bring something to swap? I have some really nice bike jerseys that I've worn only a few times (sizing). Worth a shot. ???

That's what I was going for with the race t-shrts; bike jerseys are another excellent idea from whatever event you did that you can bear to part with. Great idea AndyPants!

I can't edit it for some reason :-(

I'm coming in Thurs night with instigator and leaving Sunday.

No bike for me necessary. Just dogs willing to keep me company.

Your Google Docs must be smarter than my iPhone. I'll try it from my house-not able to update anything so far :-(

Longtime lurker, I am planning to join the womens this year at Xantusia. I will drive (up and over Angeles Forest Highway if possible) with my two (tiny) bikes, road to climb the backside of the hill and tri to show off my fit to Slowman and Monty. I am happy to share, if you are very short.

I am registered for the first of the TriEvents race series at Bonelli Park on Sunday. I *may* be persuaded to swim at Santa Clarita on Saturday, having just done my first masters meet last weekend, or I may just drive home Sat. to "rest" (aka detox from Monty's margaritas). If you plan to swim, note that I think you need a USMS membership number to register. If you want to do the sprint or mini-sprint tri, let me know -- individual or ST-womens-relay possible.

Looking forward to spending time with new friends!

OK, try it now. I hate google.

I think I was able to update and added info for me, Liz, and JenSw.

Excellent!!! It's wonderful to have a mix of lurkers and regular posters! I and others look forward to meeting you!

Ok, it's been a LONG time, but I want to come. Is there still room?

I've got two tech fabric race shirts I can bring. One I had to withdraw from and the other I dropped 1/3 of the way through it. Great shirts ond only one once or twice but they have bad memories :-) I'm sure I have more interesting lightly used things.

I'm surprised we haven't had more boys crashing this thread. I think they are all afraid of us.

As I wrote before, I'll sleep in the barn (well, technically the tack room) with Dan's horses to make room for you!

Please post your arrival / departure in Cathy's spread sheet once you've confirmed that you're coming.

Everyone is looking forward to this, so I hope you can make it!

I'm cool with sharing the couch with a couple dogs too. I just want a weekend away with all of you!

That's what I had in mind precisely!!! No money, or money already spent...
