Discussion: Why France and not Riga?

Just curious, since you often go to WMOC. What made you pick France instead?

In any case, enjoy yourself!

Italian 5-day and Riga would have been a difficult double, as there was not enough travel time in between.

Yes and I do not really the the format for the world masters.
Like the first 3 days are sprint model, sprint Q and sprint final. Followed by another model. I’d rather just go 5 days on a row or with one rest day to tour.
This was almost the perfect back to back event and I’m sure could add on more multi day events.

What's Ms Soupbone doing in your extended absence? My spouse is away in Europe for a month too, visiting friends and family. I'm calling Ms Soupbone to see if she wants to have dinner and see a show!

"When the cat's away......"

Chi town you are crazy. But you could ask, but she’s busy watching the dogs!!

Tourist season in Chicago...lots of good shows in town. Do you think she'd like to see a Steppenwolf Theater production? I can't find anyone to go with, and hate to go alone.

I’ll ask her.

So, for next year, have you considered 3 skåningar och en dansk followed by WOC Tour?

I’m going to California for the 10 day meets.

Be great to see you out here! But I'm still tempted by six European sprints in less than two weeks. Should still be back in time for the Cal O-Fest.

Good to know!!
