Great! Thanks for your leadership on getting this together, and your efforts from this past year aren't without appreciation either. I'm sure 09 will be another great one. :thumbsup:

gracias senior. It's very possible I'll take you up on that, but I am trying to get more ATX people to come out this round. With some luck we'll get some of the local Bike Chicks (e.g. Bike Mojoettes, aka Girls Who Rock) to come too.

Then again, maybe it'll just be a Stag roadtrip. There's goodness to that too. We'll see.

It's only 936 miles from Nando's to Tuscon - go ahead and ask how I know.

I know it's too early to have real plans, but i'm scheduling my headlight charging so I can be ready for the the arrival-night-ride at the least.

Nandomax has his own lightset now so should be much more comfortable, and I'm going to try to make sure he doesn't need to recover from lung cancer at the same time he's riding.

Umm...Ted, you said it was a days drive? Geez.

I guess being a parent we can never get past 700 in one day.

Nando and I made it from his place last year, starting about 6:30am, and were on-bike with headlights for the 6pm ride in Tuscon.

I'm just sayin' ...

( oh, and were saw like 1 cop per hour, so our speed wasn't that hight, if we can pull it like did my recent NM trip I'm betting to chop and hour or two off the top )

We will be making shirts this year for around $12-14. If anyone has ideas or designs, please send me a PM.

Gotta flight booked:thumbsup: But still got some court dates to get changed to clinch it - working on that If I make it I will be the ridiculously pale guy - it will be nice to see the sun

 

[bear]

Sounds like fun, I am thinking about making that trip. Have you been Ted? Nando?

AFAIK both Nando and I are currently planning on going.

There's a discussion thread on bikemojo if you want a local discussion.

Heck, we're talking about a caravan...

The official website is up and ready to go.... click here to see it. The goal of this website is to increase participation and knowledge about the rides. The information on the website will be eventually moved over to a thread on MTBR (and vice versa).
