There's a really good chance that my Element can just sit at the park for the duration. Where will you be staging?

Woah! So if you've got snow I'm definitely not going to complain about rain! But that's what we're going to have here... with winds gusting up to 25 mph too. Ha ha ha ha ha... why are we doing this again?  |

Sean that would be very cool if so-- we always set up at the southwest "G" stadium corner right behind the stadium, under the trees. The trees provide some rain cover but I'm also planning to get Gareth's tent set up there Friday morning, I might go pick that up tonight.
I'm wondering if you might have a spare set of keys if so? I really need a car I can jump in and out of reliably and Blake, Dave and I were chatting about support over those coldest early morning hours... it got pretty sparse the last time we did one of these this late in the year --hard to blame people for wanting to sleep at 3 a.m.!! 
Oh Jo it won't be snowing here, that's just up in the hills. But it will be CHILLY |

I'll definitely leave a set of keys with you, that's not a problem, although I just found out I've gotta hit a going away party for a good friend at around 3:30 so my car won't be around for about a two hour block at that time but it'll be there overnight for sure because I just plan on boarding home for bed and back in the morning.

Hi guys, its Jack. This is my first post on pavedwave and I'm getting ready for my first ultraskate with barefootboarder. I started skating at the age of 11 and i never thought i'd be doing this, 50 miles  .
The furthest I've skated to date is probabaly 15 miles, theres a big difference 15, 50.
I had my 13th birthday a few weeks ago and so far in the fundraising I've raised £160.
If I get through this I'll want to do 100.
Good luck guys.
Jack |

Well Dave and I did a lap around the lake tonight brandishing brooms and scared a few locals, but turns out the park sweepers already beat us to it and the path is looking nice and clean, especially clean with all the RAIN -- HOO HAAAHHH!!!
Best to all of you tomorrow, Jo, Jack, Eric, Wil, and Larry (Gecko) might be doing a 50?!
Hopefully we'll see a few more peeps here now that the NWLB race cancelled-- |

We're about to head out the door to get to our trail in time for sun rise. The weather is looking a bit mixed for us today but we're ready for anything now.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
