Ironman coming to town again

From the Coeur d'Alene City blog:

Ford Ironman Coeur d'Alene

On Sunday, June 26th, more than 2,500 athletes from around the world will be visiting Coeur d'Alene to test their physical and mental limits. Over the course of 17 hours, they will race throughout the community as they compete with a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, and 26.2-mile run. We ask for your cooperation and understanding on race day as you travel around town. Expect traffic delays if you drive on the race route, and please watch for cyclists. If you live on the route itself and think you may be going out on race day, consider backing into your driveway the night before so that you are not backing out onto the street during the race. Participants count on you for support on race day, so bring your friends and cheer them on! Please CLICK HERE for more information and a list of road closures and partial road closures.

My advice would be to plan on sticking close to home that day and make it a car-free day. Walk or bike to wherever you plan on going that day...the store, restaurant, church, tavern....whatever...it makes life simpler.
