WIBA: 2009 Is on the Books!
Well folks, as a good friend of mine used to say, no pictures = it didn't happen, so let me direct your attention below to the the ever epic Wisconsin Brick Adventure slideshow from this past weekend:

We came. We saw. We conquered yet again, and a good time was had by all. I made some especially great new friends this year (shout out to Shelly and Jeremy!) and of course enjoyed the time I got to spend with so many old friends.
I'd like to thank my partner in crime, RobbyB, for all his help in pulling off yet another successful training camp, and of course the members of my my team for their incredible help as well. We couldn't have done this without your generosity, both with your time and direct assistance guys. You are just THE BEST, and I love you all!
Also a special thanks to long time friend Steve Stenzel, whom I've affectionately dubbed, "Naked Lad" (as digitally corroborated above), for all his grillmaster nakedness. Let's just say we all know where the beef is now. Thanks again Steve, next year we'll talk chest hair billboards, yes?
I'd also like to thank Jamie and the great folks at Endurance House of Madison who went above and beyond for us this year. Not only did open up early, they offered us two free clinics on running form and bike emergencies, one-on-one foot strike analysis and form critique, AND they gave a generous discount for ALL the camp participants (check out my sweet new trainers!). Each year they somehow manage to outdo themselves, and we very much appreciate their support. Thanks again, guys!! A very special thanks as well to highlighted team sponsors CycleOps and Zipp Speed Weaponry.
And finally, I'd like to thank all the 80+ participants who made the trek to Madison to join us this weekend. You guys are the reason we do this every year, and I'm amazed that no matter how big this thing seems to get each summer the grassroots camaraderie is still just as strong as when it was just the handful of us back in the day. Know that we have some super fun ideas for next year, so if you had a good time be sure to come back, and definitely bring some friends.
Once again, thanks again to everyone for making WIBA: 2009 such a total blast, and be sure to save the date for next year's Wisconsin Brick Adventure camp: July 9-11. Registration opens in April, 2010, and we hope to see you there!

WIBA Rocked!! I'm sore. I had a blast.
See you in September. Any thoughts about a WIBA alumni lunch or pre-race pep rally in September? If so, counte me in.
Thanks so much!
SOOOO much fun!!
I've got all my photos (and a few of yours) up on my blog!
Thanks to all of you for a wonderful and entertaining experience. It was good to meet so many folks we have gotten to know online and meet in person, and to get another intimate view of the course.
Thanks again, we appreciate all your efforts!
*gulp* I just put it into my calendar for next summer. I
've been wanting to do it so badly, but haven't built up to those distances yet. Here's hoping I can get my act together so I don't miss out on another awesome time.
