Damn... Everyone is getting there early! I might have to leave work a little earlier than expected so I can get there around 1pm ish as well?

 

[McGRP01]

That is SWEEEEET!! We're all going to look like one BIG team in Dalton sporting those!!

 

[I Are Baboon]

here's an idea

No Saturday hangovers or beer sh!ts.

That's the idea! I'm hoping mine will dry between laps so I can wear it every lap.

MBC got one too , didn't she ? :evil:

FYI:

This year Adrenaline is not having the local dudes (who put on the wednesday races) help with the 24, so the latest word is next wednesdays race will not be the 24 course

Doug, if that is the case, is Adrenaline coming in on Thurs. (2 days before the race) to map out/build the course?

I'm still planning on coming down next Wed. to "race". Maybe you can give me a informal "preview" of what your best guess the course is going to be?

I thought I saw an email saying they will be there Sunday

cool, glad you still going Wednesday - and yup I can show you last years course (if you want to skip the climb I'll show you everything up til that point, then we can also hit the last mile or so)

and just remeber this , Don't always belive what doug tells you about the course ? you should see the description of the course he told to the other teams last year ! He had echo ready to ride his SS with slicks on!

I almost felt bad about that

 

[Westy]

Again if anyone needs some lights I have a couple of spares I can let a borrow. If no one needs them I might strap all the lights I can on for a lap. I should be able to lay down about 120W of HIDs and another 100W of Halogen, I'd have to wear sunglasses.

BWWAAHHHH!!!! That was funny!

I am looking forward to it Should be a good time. Keep prayin' for good weather.

 

[MMcG]

I'm praying for good weather and a tail wind for all of my laps! I'm going to need it desparately!

 

[I Are Baboon]

Man am I stoked! :dancing:

Not only is the weather looking to be real nice next weekend, but this whole week looks like it'll be good, so maybe the trails will be in decent shape.

My legs feel great. I did a hard road ride yesterday, and the 1.5 mile climb that KILLED me earlier this year was NOTHING yesterday...I zipped right up and thought "That's it??" when I reached the top.

I really hope the weather holds out. This weekend at Thorpe I felt awesome on every climb. And we did some good ones. Now for the carbo loading phase :devil:

Too bad there aren't any climbs at Dalton. :devil:

Wern't you on a SS?!!?

 

[Westy]

Glad to see everyone is feeling good.

I did a bunch of hill climbs this weekend, felt good but not as good as I should/could. Knee still hurts like mad from banging it on my stem last week, stupid knees.

 

[douglas]

I wonder if the 'villiage' will be the same this year - I really could go for some of that free jerky right now

Me and splat each tried to grab a free pound of jerky. I seem to remember it took something like 25 packets. I came up a bit short.

 

[Westy]

Was registration this open the week before the race last year? Looks like there will be a smaller turn out. I don't get it, near large populations but few people show.

Yikes! Sq-Earl screwed up his knee earlier this month at West and managed to re-injure it last week (when he crashed and broke his helmet). Hopefully both of you can get through the race with minimal pain.

yeah, it looks like less than last year


I dont get it either - The VT 50 Reg filled up in under 45 minutes this year (600 riders)

Maybe its just the high fees?
It's not like there's a lot of 24's in the northeast
maybe they heard the ridemonkey crew will back and they are all scared!

I think Adrenaline might have ticked a few people off in the past years. The entry fees are certainly high. The whole lawsuit thing with Granny Gear really sucks but they whine about it too much. If they continue to bitch and moan about it this year I am going to give them a piece of my mind, they need to STFU and act more professional.

Tigg vs. an injured sq-earl. My money's on Tigg.
Advantage: HOH

Perhaps if Sq-Earl's injury involves a missing limb.



Thanks for the vote of confidence though.

sq-earl is one fast mofo, but dont forgot about our #1, Mr. Splat!!

BWAAAHHH!!! I (unfortunately) haven't noticed any decreased speed...he still whoops me EVERY ride.

As if Splat isn't hyper enough, how much more hyper will he be going first?

 

[McGRP01]

Hahaha...you guys are all too funny! I'm REALLY looking forward to it!! Is it Friday yet!?!?

 

[douglas]

ha-ha

Before the start we better make sure he puts his bike in the rack, and make sure he doesnt run past it !!


Now, How can we get him to have his camel back under 20 lbs ? :dancing:

Poor Splat.

Christ, I can't wait for this weekend.

 

[McGRP01]

Question: Can you have a "contained" fire at your site? Like a chiminea (sp?) or "outdoor fireplace"?

Such as...

 

[I Are Baboon]

McG2, I would imagine those are allowed. I mean, we're camping, right...and people light fires when they camp. Justbill had a propane heater last year that was LOUD and HOT. Mmmmmm.....so very toasty.....
