Curtis,

That would be great! I would need to get into Warwick a little
before you though. I was looking to hit the ccri campus at 7:30,
then again I always run late by about 10 minutes, so that might
work. Are you riding now? I was looking to start trying it pretty
soon. Maybe a little bit warmer temps in the am... Where are you
leaving from in Prov?
