T-dog says the best kind of beer to bring is some brand called "Lotsof" while Kalvin swears by another obscure brand named "More". Hope that helps.j-ventura said:

No need to worry...I pretty much told them to do so 
LOL!! I love it! Excellent plan on the night ride too!!!j-ventura said:
We're going to have SO much fun!!!! Don't worry...I suck and this is my 2nd 24 hour race.
Ya' all just think of me for a second when you're out in the middle of the desert having the time of yer life............I'll be running around in blizzards, getting yelled at, getting doused with pepper spray and shining boots...........
But...............I will have weekends and holidays off for the rest of my working days! Woo Hoo!

I will definitely toast you with some Knob Creek, we'll miss ya 
Just don't over do it on the Knob, remember what happened last year....

boot camp im Alaska????

I don't know what her excuse is, but I deem it invalid. Good thing we've got some new hotties in the camp to make up for the reduction in overall camp hotness.Echo said:I will definitely toast you with some Knob Creek, we'll miss ya
I don't think your claim of a reduction in overall camp hotness will sit well with Gee Spotghostrider said:

Having not yet met her, I don't know....but she'll probably just outride him like Mtnbkngrl did last year.
(this is known as "motivating your teammates")
Well, Gee Spot is hot, for sure, and Treesaw can hold her own too, but Mtbkngrl is my type of woman. If I wasn't so happily married, and a few other minor things were different, I'd be her number one stalker.Echo said:I don't think your claim of a reduction in overall camp hotness will sit well with Gee Spot
So, how are the east coasters getting their bikes there? Squirrel & I were looking at cases for the plane

my plan is once I get out there, to buy a huffy at the local Walmart
are you flying united?
You can ship stuff to my house and I'll make sure it gets to the race.
In other news, here's a before and after pic of Westy that details the changes that have occurred since he went for a ride with the West Coast team yesterday. He should never have agreed to borrow T-Dog's camel back.

Luckily my enlarged liver, caused by years of drinking Sterno and Listerine, was able to clean the poisons out of my system overnight. I feel fresh and strong.ghostrider said:
Big thanks to T-Dog for loaning me a bike + equipment, and showing me around. The riding was great and the beer was tasty. I hope the rest of the East Coast team is training hard, these guys are fast.
Well that's odd. Usually T-Dog only has Budweiser available.Westy said:
I plan on starting my training in February, is that too late?Westy said:
Excellent plan!douglas said:
We're on American Airlines. $80 each to check the bikes! :mumble:
Westy said:
training hard? well sorta - I'm hardly training...thats close enough, right?
Too bad you had to leave early......we were stocked with Heineken and Dos equis and egg nog for a change.ghostrider said:
Good thinking on adding the aging drug you got from your new job at Drugco to Westys water supply.....by february he'll have the physique of an 80 year old man.
I believe that I will be showing up on a baby bleu Titus Racer-X. Oh yes. I can't wait for pics...
The solo class is filled up already...xbluethunderx said:
Hey Westy-thanks for the riding and for lunch...you and your expense account are welcome here anytime. (I'd like to remind you that it's not polite to borrow a bike, and then school us on our home turf.)Westy said:
Now then. As to the matter of stakes for this race.....I suggested mohawks for the losing team, but it seems that some people's HR dept.s and company dress codes might not favor that, so.....suggestions?
T-Dog said:
Hmm, well we had a bet at dalton where the slowest peeps would give the fastest peeps a little present (based on lap times)..........somehow (home turf helped a lot) I tied for 3rd fasetest lap, but I didnt get squat!
but if you want to bet, and if peeps will honor it then:
Shiny times - shaved heads are sexy!
I was hoping to just have fun at the race. If we start raising the stakes to head shaving levels I'm gonna have to start training and try to drop the hammer on our west coast friends. I think we should stick with liquor as the prize. Everyone brings a bottle, winners leave with their own bottle and one from a loser. We could use bike schwag instead of liquor too.
Oh we will all be having fun. But I am training my ass off, and I'm already in better shape than I was at Dalton. I vote for either liquor as a prize, or some sort of cool thing like hoodies or jerseys.

oh crap.........looks like I'll be battling to not be the slow guy in this west vs east battle royal
Echo said:
Crap your training!! I went to the gym for the first time in months yesterday and found that I am in baaad shape.
Westy said:
Westy in bad shape > Doug in good shape
">" of course equals greater than (i.e faster!)
Heh, that's what I was thinkin' (except replace doug with Echo)douglas said:
The West Coast team has a new secret weapon. This dude is so fast I'm going to stop the little bit of training I was doing.
As for stakes, I say somebody design and build the 'Ridemonkey' Cup, which is held by the captain of the winning team, like the America's Cup or whatever that thing is called.

I was going to build a trophy for Dalton last year. Bought a can of gold spray paint to make it look craptastic. I never made the trophy but I will happily give the can of gold paint to the captain of the winning team.
I like that idea..........so in June it would be handed to the winning monkey team there, correct ?ghostrider said:
hey, do we have aFIFTH team member yet ?
East Coast:douglas said:
Echo, captain, 100%
