and WASTE beer? I have no intensions of being sober at 3am. But thanks for the offer, I'll probably make a stop.
I have no favorite team btw. I think I know at least 10-15 competitors, and I know about a handful of
's. Hopefully I'll make some new friends, if I'm sober enough to remember them.I may even rock my
jersey or a bikerag shirt not sure which.Somebody needs to stop echo from posting until he puts up the MBW pics.
Good point :devil:Crazy Sweeper said:

definitely stop at our camp to say hi, let us know where/what your volunteer gig wil be - I'll give you a "woohoo" as I go by to make sure your awake
I don't remember the actual name of the position but I asked to be the bushwack whatever. the guy who provides replenishment and cheers racers on, I get to be loud and helpful, perfect for me. Still waiting for the phone call, should have it tomorrow.
ok ladies, here's a little tease:
driving in:
the start/finish area
headed to the "over"
on the "over"
A look back a the "over" and a view of the "under"
I would have taken more but I had a race to do!

I would have taken more but I had a race to do!
The deal w/the course:
It will be very similar to last year with 2 changes that I know of...
change#1: after the "under" then road/field section, there is about 1/8 of a mile extra singletrack that avoids the worst of the rooty section
change#2: (I didnt ride this): on the dh section the muddy section to the 3 way section is gone, replaced by a steep "skid" section, and some road......which means less st but no mud pit, not sure if thats a good or bad thing.
I also heard the road (climb) is really soft, I am hoping enough people preride it Friday to make a packed down path all the way up.
of what I rode, just a few spots of mud - I predict most spots will be dry by race time

Damn I was the race was tomorrow! :dancing:douglas said:
For anyone wishing to do a pre-ride on Friday, while dinner is cooking, and is worried they may give in to the temptation to ride fast when they should be taking it easy- may i suggest,
Take a 10 year old with you.
Please
Take a 10 year old with you.
Please
and an 8 year old , and my wifejustbill said:

I'm going to preride soon as I get there so I have plenty of time to recover. I plan on going S-L-O-W on that preride.
Saturday will be a SCORCHER!
Steve (Goddy43) and I should be rolling in to Dalton around 2pm on Friday. Do the rest of you guys have time(s) planned to pre-ride, or are you just going to play it by ear?I Are Baboon said:
Theres a couple convenience stores about 1/2 mile away.mogulskr said:
Nice! Thanks Doug!douglas said:
I'm going to play it by ear, but I'd be happy to wait for you guys to preride. When I say I'm going to go slow, I MEAN IT. I want my legs to do as very little work as possible. I would like to finish a preride by 5:00 at the latest.McGRP01 said:

I'm Just south of Mass pike off of 495
I think they they mean the cars parked at the camp site (you can have one vehicle per site), from the main parking lot you can come & go as you pleasemogulskr said:
McGRP01 said:
as soon as I unpack (noonish) I'm going skip the singletrack and go do the long fire road climb so I can check out the changes to the long DH section.
If you guys head out for a preride aroung 2:30 or 3:00 I'm sure I will join you, but I'm bailing when we hit that long fire road climb, if you want to bail too - you can folow me for 30 sec's & I'll show you to where you can get back onto the course for the last mile or so of it.
Doug I'm gonna preride with you if that's OK. We should easily be there in time.

Hi there.

I'm totally looking forward to the ride and meeting some of you ridemonkeys.
Team Bikerag: coed
Gi Jane, SSK, PMD, Pukemaster, Crashtest
volunteer: Joe Dirt
Mechanic: VW Addict
Beer man: Crazy Sweeper
Team Hammering Granny: coed
OBD (or Bullitboyz), TQ, not sure ont he other member
Beer man: Crazy Sweeper
See you on Saturday.

Ahhhhhhhh I don't think so! :dancing:
But cool to have more people !!!
crash test said:
Hi crash test! Sounds like Crazy Sweeper is the official Dalton Beer Bitch. :dancing:
Last year was our first year doing this. Four Monkeys and a Baboon finished 11 out of 20 in our category.
Next year we have to drag tonyhawk's ass to this thing.
Truck is loaded and ready to go!! WoooHooooooo!!!!
Made it back home from Cali and am finally packed. Might be there around 3:00 if I don't stop to see my brother.
Team FatboySlim will be there. Our first year - a bunch of foreign types such as meself. Splat knows me, we went riding together this winter on sheet ice. We're at B14. Come over for beer / a cup of tea.
Nothin' huh?McGRP01 said:Oh...one more goal... To come away from the weekend having earned a custom-title!! Good, bad or otherwise!
