Thursday Night!

Thursday Night Team R.E.D. is officially a Bears Den night, but we'll try to pull this one off with a little twist!   First you'll see the reason for the twist, then the plan to get it done. 

The details / link posted below were provided by Mike Schmitt, Thanks!

*******************************

There is a new Bridge for Bikes and Pedestrians opening at 6pm Thursday on Hwy 14 just west of Rochester.   The the 1,800-foot-long bridge will be dedicated Thursday in memory of a 7-year-old girl who was killed in a bike-car accident several years ago in Rochester.    Here's a link to a PB story  http://www.postbulletin.com/newsmanager/templates/localnews_story.asp?z=2&a=465805

With that said, I think it would be great if Team R.E.D. has a presence there.  


Here's what I suggest..... I will create routes in the range of 2.5, 4 and 6ish miles... starting from Kutzky park in Rochester.    if you're a Rochester type... meet at Kutzky park, approx 5:30-5:40pm... for the Byron contingent, we could meet at the Bears Den at 5:20 and carpool in to the park..   We'll check out and support the ribbon cutting ceremony, and then continue on our run/walk  Be sure to wear your Team R.E.D. shirt!      After we're done, we'll head to the Bears Den for the E.D. portion of our evening!    

In the event, you don't know where Kutzky park is, it's just south of Hy-Vee Barlow and East of Miracle Mile, TGIF, Olive Garden area.. across 11th Ave...

Please let me know if you have questions as to the plan!   Or if you need any directions to the park.   You can call me at 507 358 9188 or email me at byron.teamred@gmail.com

On another note, Team R.E.D. members Bri, Casey and Melby (along with many friends of Team R.E.D.) are all participating in the Ragnar Relays this weekend!   They will run as part of teams (they are each on different teams) racing from Winona to Minneapolis, with each team member running 3 legs of the relay... legs range from 3.4 to 9 miles each to help them travel the 193 total miles.... Good luck to all of you!  It should be a blast!

Melby had a planning meeting last night, and this is the outfit he'll be wearing for his team.   He's sporting the skirt Renee made for him prior to Team R.E.D.s Man Skirt night...  I suspected he would find another occasion to wear it!
