How about the rest of you?  Sound off if you're thinking about going for the week or for just days but have made up your mind yet. 

Housing Update
We have leads on housing in Waverly, and Emmetsburg. We have partial housing for the team confirmed for Mason City, so we'll need to keep looking there.  We have confirmed housing commitment for the whole team in Independence.   We are still looking for leads in Rock Valley, Okoboji, and Forest City.

Training
I thought about getting out on a training ride today, but thought better of it as I wouldn't be home in time to watch the Super Bowl.
