Stoked to hear we FINALLY have the elements working for us. Seems this weekend will be a true test of our abilities and stamina. You've done a great job keeping us informed and keeping this event organized. Thanks for the update and I look forward to participating in the event! Not to mention the after party... :-)

Feel Wind, Feel Free!
