Dave,
Could you build in a couple hotel/cabin/camping links for the out-of-town races? It would be helpful since you have already been there and maybe you can not only recommend places to stay, but also give links to their websites. Restaraunt recommendation would also be nice.

Dave doesn’t need any stinking hotels! When he wants luxury he pitches a tent. If there is a fire ring it is just like staying at a 5 star hotel.

I didn’t think Dave ever slept.

Fit Families for Cenla will be helping Dave with local information regarding this race. We’re currently getting hotel information for a host hotel in Alexandria with discounts. So hopefully I’ll have that before mid January and will inform Dave. At that time we’ll also post camping and local restraunts information. Kincaid is an absolutely beautiful place and has some great trails for riding and running. This will be an awesome race.

We are excited about having some new courses. I know that Cliff, Charla and I will be visiting Alexandria to scope out the new course – us old folks need to find the short cuts!
Yes- we need to find a good place to sleep; we’ll check it out on one of the training trips.

Julie and Susan,
I think you are right. Dave doesn’t need no stinkin’ soft bed and air-conditioning, he is much like Keith. He just needs a place to lay his head for a few short minutes of power nap, a couple cups of coffee and some toothpicks to hold the eyes open during the race. No other creature comforts necessary. I am really looking forward to this season and the comraderie. I have talked to a biker who frequents the trails at Lake Kincaid and he says they are fantastic. And thanks, Teresa for taking the time to work on accomodations. We all appreciate it. Keep moving forward!
