[NLRS] NorthShore 10 GHz Snag - Sept 18

[N0HJZ at aol.com]

Hi All -

I know all the 10 Gig'ers are looking for plans for the second weekend of the 
contest.  I wanted to make you aware of a possible problem.

Saturday, Sept 18th is the date of the NorthShore Inline Marathon.  I'll be 
competing with 5,000 of my closest friends on the 26 mile course from Two 
Harbors to Duluth.  The Pro's leave the start at 6:30 am and the rest of us leave 
about 7:30.  The course is the scenic highway from Two Harbors into Duluth, 
then down London Road then onto part of Highway 35 before ending at the Duluth 
Entertainment Complex (DECC).  The roads are closed to traffic from about 6:00 
until after 11:00 am.  

I know this could put a kink in people looking for spots to operate and for 
people trying to travel.  

Just an FYI.  If you do go up north, stop by to cheer.  I hope to end the 
marathon with a time of about an hour and a half.  I'll then go to Sir Benedict's 
Tavern for a sandwich and a few pints of Guinness (carb reloading!).  Come 
join us!
