Homeslice, it was POURING up until about an hour before the start of the race. Damn that sucked.douglas said:

I had a blast being a cheering spectator when I wasnt doing my laps!!
True that! So much adrenaline just from going through the over/under area with everyone yelling!I Are Baboon said:Cheering spectators really have no idea just how much they keep us motivated.
I forsee a certian RV having a mechanical in the generator region if its running at 2am like last year.I Are Baboon said:
The weather was a huge factor last year. Rain up until race time, mud, humidity till noon, then the wind picked up and temps dropped to high 40s overnight and the wind chill was like low 30s.
Fate favors the prepared. Be ready for anything. Even wandering midnight evangelists.
Weather was tough last year. I am looking forward to seeing and riding with everyone again this year, no matter the weather
My Hollowpoint is ready to rip at Dalton!! :dancing:

HOORAY!!!
We will not be saving $50 
because we should probably make sure Gee Spot actually survives Old Pueblo and likes 24 hour races before we sign her up for another one

After tasting sweet success at Old Pueblo I predict she will get addicted.Echo said:We will not be saving $50
I find it somewhat encouraging that she liked the idea of a "fastest woman" trophy. A couple of months ago she was very worried about Chelsea kicking her ass. She might still be worried, but she seems a little more confident since I introduced her to the Echo Pain Interval Workout (tm)Westy said:

We should be registered by 3/1, if I can get the rest of my slacker team to get their #$^& together.

you ever get wednesdays off in the summer, or at least get out early? (so you can get to Dalton for one of their wednesday races)

A18 would be a good choice

Unknown at this point. My wife and my biking are bitter enemies right now.douglas said:
I would love to do it, though - that was a blast.
ghostrider said:
if all else fails can ya play the "I want to see my realatives" card ? :devil:
Yeah, my schedule rotates, so I get quite a few Weds. off. I hope to make it to at least one of those races.douglas said:
McGRP01 said:
cool.........when the time comes let me know / my plan is to be there most wednesdays
I think TreeSaw should pony up one batch of freshly baked cookies to Team 4MAAB as a sign of good neighborship.douglas said:
I think that explains why you are missing parts to the Blur.ghostrider said:
Yes, I'll match you those cookies and raise you a midnight "just bill grilled pizza". :devil:I Are Baboon said:

MMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...................
I Reheated that at 3 am........
And it was awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( as Bill was cooking it I was getting ready for a night lap, so I had to wait till I got back)
Yeah, I missed out on the pizza, but the heater was NICE! :dancing:splat said:MMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...................

I want to do it solo, airfare is cheap, but I have crew/lodging issues. Ideas?
xbluethunderx said:
what exactly is the issue?
(rules say you need min. one person crew, and there's lots of places to stay in pittsfield which is just 5 minutes away, and there is camping on site for Fri & Sat nights)
I'd certainly help out "crew" wise. You shouldn't plan on sleeping so lodging shouldn't be an issue.xbluethunderx said:
7 days 8 hours until I get the hell out of this place.

Wrong thread, NOOB.

Well, I found a definate 5th member for my team. Should be registering by the end of the month. Where are the other 
teams (Assbalancers, 4M&B, etc.) camping? Are most of you guys in "A"?

Yeah, we're in section A, site 19. We've got a pretty loud heater, so the "quiet" campground isn't an option for us. Mmmm....wonderful, wonderful heater.....McGRP01 said:Well, I found a definate 5th member for my team. Should be registering by the end of the month. Where are the other
Site 18 has been claimed by the Ass Balancers, so grab site 17 or 20.
My problem is that being 17, I can't do two vital things:
A) Get a hotel room (Which I may or may not need)
and
B) Rent a car (and I will need some way to get from the airport to Dalton and back)
Speaking of airports, which one would be best to fly into? I was looking at Logan, but there's one in Hartford. Hartford's a bit more expensive, but closer, it seems.
Westy, aren't you going to be racing? I think I may check and see if anyone around here over 18 would go with me, giving me a crew member and car/hotel.

Blue, Albany is the closest Airport I believe, check that out.blue said:

Yep - Albany would be closest methinks - Bradley might not be too bad either.
You could maybe get a ride from a monkey if you flew in to either airport. Just a guess.
I know there are Albany/Saratoga monkeys participating as well as Hartford, Avon, Simsbury Monkeys.
