I can't believe how fast this event filed up. I finally had a free moment to register and BOOM!, all full already. I think everyone is excited to try the new location. I'll be watching, waiting, and hoping someone cancels.

Yep I've been distracted and missed out too. I'll probably swing by regardless to check out the set up and see how it goes.
Maybe sneak in a ride along or two.

Turns out this event follows 18 hours of air travel from CH on Friday. Don't reckon I will be particularly crisp Saturday morning. Just going To go ahead and start making excuses now.

After 18 hours of sleeping on an airplane, you should be plenty fresh! If it was 18 hours of DRIVING, you might be a little tired.
