Here’s information on Saturday’s events:

- 10 a.m. – Cycling Time Trials. Space is limited. Details on cost, where to meet and registration are available at bigriverrunning.com/bridgerun. In addition, those interested can participate in the biathalon, which allows them to compete in both the 6K run and the cycling time trials.
- Noon – the bridge opens to the public.

- 4 p.m. – The bridge closes to the public.
You must be registered to be on the bridge before noon. Additional information can be found at http://www.newriverbridge.org, including a shuttle bus from the Convention Center MetroLink. I’ll probably take a regular MetroBus.
Still hard to believe this day is almost here.
