Yeah we go for a swim every memorial day in lake Erie (odd tradition). It’s not warm.

Although, a decade ago there was still left over ice floating around on a few of the weekends prior to Memorial Day. Now it’s not that bad.

looks like you can buy tickets now… and more interestingly, since i know most of you will be coming through Canada… the race is over the Detroit river and is essentially right on the border which means you do not have to cross in the gungiest city in the USA… Detroit. Instead, you can hang out and save a toll charge but staying on the Canadian side in Windsor, the city with the highest unemployment rate in Canada… YAY!!!

i actually cant beleive this is happening right on the border… i cant imagine them getting the Okay to do this over the niagara river on the falls… though that would be an incredible venue… have a red gate below the falls… oh sick
