I am pretty sure I'll be doing the NYS XC series race#2 the sunday of Killington
I'm planning on doing the LUNA Chix thing at Pedro's with Alison Dunlap.
blah......start your own thread about pedro's 
Hopefully that will be on FridayME TOO!
Well, not AS a luna chick
Freakin Doug...always driving the chicks away.blah......start your own thread about pedro's
It's not
I'm always gettin screwed.
My duo partner is on the road, and my back up one is broken...so it will be a solo for me (length to be determined by heat/humidity level).
You camping? I'll be at a wedding Friday night, and will not make it to PP until Saturday - and I dont want to pay that extra $30 or so just for me to "camp" part of Sat. night
Yes, camping. I won't be up there until Saturday either. I have another person riding a 12 hours solo I would be camping with. I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue if you want to be at the same site.
Last year we had 3 duo tams all at the same site and there was no problem. We usually camp on the right side of the dirt road on the way to the finish. It seems to have the most shade and there are some lights at night.
that would be great.
We usually park near there, but dont do any tents. I just bring a sleeping bag and crash in the lodge for a few hours.

Okay, I'm in 12 hour solo. This should be good, Since April I have probably ridden about 5 times. I may still be a duo come race day so we will see.
Doug, at this point it would be 3 people splitting a camp site. I'll pm you my cell before the race so we can hook up.

way to step it up!
right now I have a bike issue......my geared rigs are dead, and I doubt I could do more than 2 laps on the rigid SS.
hopefully the geared rig can be fixed before the race.

"baaad" or just insane??if i can get a ride up i've got the go ahead
if you want to move up a couple of places in the standings douglas(or anyone else for that matter) you should stop by and pic me up
i'll be signing up for 12hr. solo...ss...rigid(cause i'm a baaad maan)
where do you live? but I doubt I can, I have to go to my nieces wedding Friday night, then I planned to head direct to NH from there (whenever it ends.)
"just insane" this will be my first mtb ride since memorial day...
oh, and it looks like i'll have a car, but can't leave til sat. am. thanks for the offer though. maybe i can meet you guys at your tent and say hi before the race starts.
yes, say hi!
I'll be the slow guy on a blue salsa el mariachi (more then likely wearing a twinsix jersey)

**cough *** cough ** sandbagger ** Cough ** cough **
how do you sandbag when there's no "levels" (i.e sport/expert?)
its more like ride slow so I can finish, you saw 1st hand last year what happens in the heat when I ride too hard (puking, dehydration, heat exhaustion and (if I had the strength) tossing my bike in the dumpster!)
. That's much better then last's years 95 and 90% humidity. I may be able to finish hopefully.
last year:
so does anyone have a specific goal for the race ie podium, not last , XX # of laps, etc?
My goal is not to lay in the grass at the bottom of the second hill at 11pm because both legs cramped at once
Podium - no
Not Last - Hopefully
# of Laps - I would love 12, but I don't think that will happen so how about double digits /
I accomplished that goal last year every lap.4. ride ALL the stunts in that guys front yard
hahaha - those are great! 
#1 Survive (no laying on the ground, puking, dehydration, or heat stroke)
#2 12 laps
#3 The ability to drive 130 miles to get home on Sunday
#4 Its a real longshot, but I'd be damn happy sneaking onto the podium into 3rd place

yup..I have been checking those #'s out.
a lap is what, 4.5 miles...so 12*4.5 = 54 miles.
Hmm, 54 miles in 12 hours...sitting here in the AC at my desk, it definitely seems attainable, heck 13 would "only" be 58.5 miles!!

yeah, but last year there was a "bit" of mud in addition to a "bit" of humidity... i'm hoping that "team drop" shows back up this year so i'll have a chance at not ending up DFL
i am planning on crushing everyone who races in my category...married, non-sponsored, orange bike riding, virgo, lucky sock wearing, smack talking poseur category...they do have that at pat's peak don't they?!

PP stays muddy a long time, but it shouldnt be as bad this year (hopefully)yeah, but last year there was a "bit" of mud in addition to a "bit" of humidity... i'm hoping that "team drop" shows back up this year so i'll have a chance at not ending up DFL

umm, yeah...as far as know, they didnt add that category this year.
lets not forget the 900 feet of climbing per lap. 13 laps ==12000 feet of climbing
oh...right, was it that much? Hmm, I might just do 2 laps and go get a burger and some beer(s)
i'll bring you some beer! just remember, i spend way more time talking trash on this board than riding, so you may just want to buy me a burger and i'll sit and drink beer with you.
Climbing - you meant to say pushing in my case.
not sure if i can make it to the top in only 30 minutes!Hey, lets just have a bbq at the top the mtn...how's 12:30 sound?
by the way, i have my brother driving around albany looking for bikers he can maybe just bump with his car so they will only be slightly injured
don't you live there?:biggrin:
