Date and Time
8a on Saturday, 7.20.2024 at the Dove Household (CWP)
I expect the full relay to take about 3 hours. Brix Cider opens at 11a on Saturdays so we can start anytime after 8a. We will start around 8:30a in case anyone decides to be a hero and run way faster than expected.
If you are not at CWP by the time we need to leave for your leg, we will have to leave without you (which would be a bummer). If you won't be able to make it to CWP around 8a, let Stephen know and he can get an estimate for the time by which you would need to make it.
Weather Policy
We will play this by ear. A little rain never hurt anyone, but a lot of rain and/or lightning have hurt people. Cross your fingers that we don't have to postpone.
Getting to Your Relay Leg
The plan is to drive folks from location to location. To be most efficient, homebase will be the Dove household (CWP). Please find your own way here.
