Damn, I better start training!
I'm gonna do a little carb loading tonight, and tomorrow and the day after......
Echo said:
Hmm, I wonder were my bike is ??? I probably should find it soon
I'm hoping to do a little protien unloading this weekend.Westy said:
Hopefully there is a lovely young lady on the receiving end. But I doubt that will stop the unloading process at all.Echo said:
That was definitely a key part of the plan.Westy said:
Ok in addition the the Monkey cup, we have a trophy for that individual who turns in the fastest lap. In the finest tradition it cost nothing to make, but is easily worth several thousand. It can also be re-used for the next event, just change the waterbottle "cup"...there's plenty of room for names on the front and back. (there's a trophy place here that will make a brass plate with the winner's name/date/event that sticks on the front- I'll mail it to West...I mean the winner after the race.)
Oh yes,....the chainring base will also work as a bottle opener.

Dude that thing is sweet. It must remain in CA.T-Dog said:
That thing is beautiful. I bow to your superior craftsmanship.
Ghostrider, what is up with the sig change, someone looking over your shoulder?

Damn, there's a trophy coming from CA and a trophy coming from VA, but nothing from NY. We need another category so I can get rid of some bike parts in my garage. Any suggestions? Slowest lap? Most beer consumed? Most mechanicals? Winner of the pre-ride?
Echo said:
Slowest lap is too easy to work for. Do you think GeeSpot can bring a breathalizer?
what about biggest difference in individual lap times (your slowest vs your fastest)
Maybe something that the west coast team can take home, like second place.

Highest BAC at midnight? :devil:Westy said:
Watch it wiseguy I still have a certain superlite hanging in my closet......Westy said:Maybe something that the west coast team can take home, like second place.
Sorry typo, I meant to say that it is a good thing T-Dog has a lot of room in his truck to take home 3 trophies.T-Dog said:
I like the highest BAC at midnight idea for the third trophy. That way, if things aren't going so well for the other two, we can start working on the third.
Something like that. She was all, "who's ghostrider!?" I'm all "beats me!!"Westy said:
Oooh, Oooh...a trophy that I could win. I vote for either the beer or slowest lap thing, but really it should be about the beer!Echo said:
Edit: Highest BAC at midnight or sustained throughout the race weekend

Gee Spot says she can bring a breathalyzer. But I'm not sure that's such a good idea actually 
Maybe we should have a "fastest female monkey lap" category.

If she can also bring a stomach pump I don't see a problem.
Fastest female sounds good to me.

if I put a wig on, would my lap time count?
Only if you borrowed Megan Blacks boots and skirt too.douglas said:
Westy said:
well, I would like to get in her skirt.......but my plan was for her to leave the boots on
I was thinking about this during my morning 10:00AM brainstorming session:
What happens if I come across one of the East Coast Wankers experiencing a mechanical during my lap? What is the ethical course of action?
1. Stop and help in the spirit of sportsmanlike conduct.
2. Pretend I don't notice and keep riding.
3. Throw an already-punctured tube at him, laugh, and keep riding.
4. Knock over his bike, steal his tools, and keep riding.

Here is what I'd do.ghostrider said:
Just ask the standard question, "need anything"? If they need help give it to them, if not speed away.
Of course if I was the rider with the mechanical I'd ask for help so you'd stop then steal your bike when you weren't looking.
ghostrider said:
depends on how long the race has been going on, or basically how many laps ahead we are........
Hmmm, if I was you guys I'd go with anything but #1 if you want any kind of chance at keeping up with us.
I don't see how any of my bikes could possibly have a mechanical, they haven't been ridden or touched since Dalton.
ROTFLMFAO.....still laughing.....whilest looking at my sledgehammer with pegs and shocks...as I take it off some sweet jumps!Echo said:
Hehe, my parents sent me this, they said good luck to all the Tucson racers

Hey, Any of you crazy enough to come to Arizona a little early, there is a nice little mountain bike race up in the White Tank Mountains next Saturday-Feb 12. Its 7.24 miles around one nice little rocky loop. Two times for beginners, 3x for sport and 4x for expert. I am guessing 30 minutes for a young fast rider per lap. I did 38 on my fifth go around and I am older than old. Incidentally because of the rain the desert is so green it doesnt look like desert.
so what is the plan for the 14th? (like who is picking my/our ass up at the airport?)
My Arrival: Oxnard / Ventura, CA (OXR) Mon Feb 14 4:22 pm
I beleive that is 2 hours before ECHO & the Geespot get there - might make sense to pick us all up at the same time - is there a bar at the airport??

The key to successful travel is bringing your own alcohol. Fill an empty 7-up bottle with vodka and just get drunk in baggage claim. You'll have plenty of time to get your bike built up and maybe get a short ride in on the luggage conveyors.douglas said:
I hear it's a pretty small airport, so you might have to BYOB.douglas said:
Westy said:
Sound advice. I can only assume that's experience talking......
I took the day off, so I had planned to meet Doug, and try to poisen him with cheap booze till the second wave of easties comes in. I don't know about the bar at the airport, but if there's one thing Oxnard has no shortage of, it's watering holes.
