    I would like to suggest post-race brunch at:
    Spigolo
    1561 2nd Ave (& E 81st St, NW corner)
    212-744-1100
    http://www.yelp.com/biz/spigolo-new-york
    There is no official website.
    Sonia, Steve (both new members), & I had brunch there last week and it was amazing! They have $1 quality oysters (Kumamoto and another tasty type from WA).
    New member Jen Kim is the pastry chef there!

    Update from Jen, regarding potential brunch at Spigolo:
    "For brunch we will be able to accommodate 27 people inside and about the same outside. It might be hard to get everyone at one table but the restaurant is so small that it shouldn't be too bad if people sat at different tables anyways. "

    Hey Hideki, thanks for the brunch recommendation! If the weather's nice enough, Scott, Matt and I were contemplating having a picnic after this race. Let's coordinate over e-mail so we can figure this out.

    Hey all, make sure to register for this soon here:

    http://nyrr.org/races/2010/r0911x00.asp

    This is the next points race and should be fast (it's only 4 miles and should be relatively cool weather compared to this summer)!

    Hey everyone, I just posted a separate event for brunch so we can keep track who's coming out afterwards. You can RSVP here: http://www.dashingwhippets.org/calendar/14599752/ Hope we can all celebrate the race together afterwards!

    If any women would like to cheer on the men, I am planning to head down to the bottom of the W72nd street entrance (across from the lake) a little after 9AM.. Or let me know if people want to gather somewhere else!

    Sounds good. Also, we should run a really good warm-up since 4 miles is a short race. Let's organize that too.

    Posted September 7, 2010 at 10:47 AM
  • A former member

    Definitely, I was thinking we could cheer for 30min or so then jog across the 72nd transfer and down around to the start.. Just want to be there in time.

    I'm definitely in for cheering too. I may not be able to run the race because my knee hates me but I'm going to give it another trial run tonight at the training run. Either way I will be there Saturday, go whippets!

    Wow, potentially up to 41 blue Whippets jerseys will be on the course. Just WOW!

    Guys, should we do a group wave to cheer for the ladies again like we did for the last team points race?

    Posted September 9, 2010 at 10:43 PM

    Matthew

    Great idea denley. Depending on the number of guys we have, let's make two groups each doing the wave.
