It's looking like I'm not going to be able to make it. I think most of the Saturday races are out this year for me.

Hector you are not coming?

I got leave scheduled for the week before the race weekend. I will make the mtb race but not the road race since it is important for me to be back at work on Monday so we can work 12s while we pretend to deploy.
