I highly recommend not racing this weekend. There's kind of a big deal going down. It's the Weston Brewery Irish Fest, and it's going to be AWESOME! Nothing better than good Irish music, awesome Irish food, and the best part, lots of Irish BEER! (they'll have other brew there too for the less manly)
We've got a group of Ethos folks headed down Saturday night, so come join us! Here's all the info straight from the boys up at Weston.
