mabey its wishfull thinking but I think we should bag it in under 10 hours at the very worst

oh and I used a mileage program I have and I estimate the ride at about 75 KM's

now its gots to be done in 8 hrs!!! 9-5 is the cut off..

from fast thin guys thread…

Looks like a cyclocross or modded road bike will be allowed. Starts at 9, finishes at 5.

now Im def going to have to ride my HT and just run some sections in the DH just to try and get in by 5 pm….

yes. Ride your HeiHei. It's gonna be hot. I'm thinking of dusting off the full rigid Blizzard. I wonder how those Syncros forks will hold up…

I'm quitting organized crime; from now on I'll stick to the regular kind.

Lets get a full role call so we can start getting the beer and food order together. Anyone who said there were going to do it and backs out now is a weak ticket. Also if people dont want to ride the full thing and want to do a team of two lets get that organized as well.

Hey - I'm in there, too. Course I got my eyes set on Seymour only, but I can guard the beer the rest of the day.

wish i could be there but i'll be gone for four days on workshop/seminar thing starting this fri - call me weak if you must but i think you know my situation

We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

Let us know the scoop James! I'm probably going to do this one, but I'm unsure as to whether or not I do it on my ghetto "cyclo-cross" bike or my wife's XC bike. Gotta wait for the check points I guess.

Scratch me. I broke my wrist a couple weeks ago. Pretty choked, I was really looking forward to this.
I was considering driving a support vehicle (if necessary), but I'm probly gonna go visit my sister [HTML_REMOVED] hit the Stampede instead. Yee-Haw!!

Have a great time, guys!
