I'm assuming you're talking about the CaliforniaMan 1/2 IM. The Folsom area is a great venue for a race. J&A Productions puts on great races, though this is their first attempt at 1/2 IM and IM. I've done the Oly that they put on in Folsom, along with several of their other races in the San Jose area, and they're always top notch. I'm not that familiar with the course specifics for the 1/2- I think Cathy can probably shed some light here. I haven't made it up there yet to ride the course. Are you doing the 1/2 Francois? I look forward to meeting you.

talking about the half yes. looking for a half to do 5 or 6 weeks before IM France.

I want to do it, but haven't signed up yet...still pondering...looking also at travel expenses and lodging. maybe drive...but it's about 16h from west TX

Here's a write-up on the bike course.

cool...thanks...as descriptive as it can be!

Disney half is the same weekend, and I, Bobo, throw down a personal challenge to thee, Francois. Loser buys the ice cream.
Show up if you got the guts, and about 6 bucks for the Blue Bell.

loser walks around in speedos with mickey mouse ears...
although I am not even sure this would bother you :-)
still looking at what races... I was hoping for something more small sized than an IMNA event

"loser walks around in speedos with mickey mouse ears..."

sick...sick...

I say go for it, Francois. Cathy and I will both be there doing the full IM.

I used to train on the run course all the time. Very scenic, though definitely not flat as they describe. Lots of short ups and downs and a couple of longer climbs.

that's my choice I guess. I am not interested in yet an other IMNA packed with 2000 athletes...
Folsom is much more appealing than Orlando...

Half Cal Folsom it will be then...
see you there.

How does one say "chicken" in French?

"What's good for me ain't necessarily good for the weak-minded."

does not have the same meaning...should say
"poule mouillee" (literally, wet hen...)

we can still have your contest if you want...courses look similar

>>Half Cal Folsom it will be then...

I am also considering this 1/2. Good thing is that it probably won't sell out so I can decide a few weeks before.

poule mouilee jaune (adjective after the noun in french)...
but it would be MA poule mouillee, not mon...because a "poule" is feminine..
