your team should do 2 prerides/2 tapes.....just in case theres a problem with the 1st oneEcho said:That was my plan. Which would mean we would have to do the preride in under an hour so there's enough tape
24hrs of Dalton: Plans & Smacktalk
- Thread starter Tweek
- Start date
and can you point the Camera Backwards ? if so do that and just make sure you stay in front of every one.
Finally got a bike built up for stuntmatty!
1. cannondale is dead, so it's not that.
2. Kona Cowen is still a frame only, so it's not that either.
3. Heckler won't be here on time, so that is out also.
4. I didn't steal another teams bike, so don't start yelling at me
What is left you ask???
Well, I did what I tend to do all the time...........I ripped apart all my other bikes and built this slick little beast up
29 lbs. as it sits, which is 5 lbs. lighter than mattys XC bike. Matty took it out for a spin yesterday and was all giddy with how light and fast it felt. I love it when a plan comes together

Thing looks pretty sweet, but just one chainring? Flat pedals? You guys realize this is an XC race, right?Instigator said:
Yep, I know it is an XCrace, but Matty doesn't ride clipless and I don't have a bolt on derailleur that would work with the Lenz.ghostrider said:Thing looks pretty sweet, but just one chainring? Flat pedals? You guys realize this is an XC race, right?
Stuntmatty says,"I am a freerider, not an xc rider"
Team Ass Balancer will Balance Asses regardless.Instigator said:

Dude, your wet dreams aside, "Ass Balancing" is a new-age term for Kicking Some Serious Ass.douglas said:You guys are sick !

It is getting really close. Is everyone ready?
We are leaving tomorow for Earl`s and Teresa and we will get to Dalton early Friday to set up camp.
We can`t wait , this is going to be great, 3 teams of monkeys, this is going to be a ZOO!
Matty don't need no front derailleur. He's a STOMPA.
Hell YEAH!TreeSaw said:YEAH!!! We'll see you tomorrow
Oh, and don't forget poor old ghostrider at the Albany Intergalactic Airport on Friday.

Time for my nap..................................
Woohoo! Leaving after work! :dancing:
In less than 24 hours I'll be all packed up, headin' north of the Mason Dixon. Looking forward to meeting all y'all. I be in solo spot 21, drivin' the orange car with 01 painted on the doors. Yeee Haaw
Just the idea of solo makes my stomache turn and my legs acheWesty said:

Looking forward to meeting you, Westy!Westy said:
Man I hope we can fit all this crap in Tweek's truck 
If you have to leave something out, make sure it is NOT the large grey box labeled 'Ghostrider's Rocketship'.Echo said:Man I hope we can fit all this crap in Tweek's truck
Funny thing is, nobody has caught on to our slick plan. Since Matty is doing the run and the first lap for us, he's gonna leave em all in the dust, since he can wear running shoes and won't have to waste time clipping in. We are expecting him to win the first lap outright by around 4 minutes. In fact, the whole team will be going so fast, we expect to finish the entire 24 hours before dinner on Saturday.Echo said:
ghostrider said:
I will be saying "Hi" and "Bye" to Matty on the fire road climb :evil:
Hey wait a second, nobody said nuthin about no fireroad climbs.douglas said:
There better be rock gardens, logpiles and stream crossings on that fire road. On second thought no stream crossings, I want to keep my butt as dry as possible.
douglas seems to be pretty confident in his fireroad climbing abilities :devil:
Its only 4 miles at a 20% gradeghostrider said:
It'd be fine with me if the whole damn lap was a fireroad climb.Echo said:
Perhaps putting some money down on the fireroad climb during the Friday recon lap would be appropriate.Echo said:
You mean like putting a $20 on the ground on Friday, and first one there on Saturday gets to pick it up and keep it?Westy said:
dang! ooops! Doug this isn't team 4 monkies & baboons secret thread!ghostrider said:
hehe, just kidding!
there is NO fire road climbs, especially NO 1 mile long fire road climb!!
Echo said:
yeah, I'll be 2nd last to the top and Stuntmatty on his 9 spd flat pedaled bike we be last !!
(ps: no offense Matty!)
Not what I meant, but an even better idea. A nice hole shot prize.ghostrider said:
