Rides and Races - Rocky V New Date... June 30th..

hey all. I had to push back the date of the race for some reasons. so yeah JUNE 30TH. 2pm art museum steps... more info to come. flyer out next week..

Hey Philly kids, how impossible would this race be for out-of-towners? A couple of us are thinking about coming up for it--ideas?

hey purplebike sorry I didn't repsond to you via your pm. I would say not that hard. I give out maps to folks with manifest. you have to route yourself. philly is just one big grid really. this year lots of the stops are not that far (well some are) but I think you can hold it down.

come up and rock out. fun times. last year we had 30 or so teams. I would like 50 that would be nuts.

Stellar!

We were trying to figure out if A) there would be maps and B) if the locations would be really obscure, but it seems like it won't be.

Assuming I can get the car, we're totally coming. Anyone got floor space? :)

you ive got alot of room if you guys need. just bring some more cupcake!

I'll be a sprinter, which local wants to be the runner?

I might take you up on that. im not sure about my partner situation at the moment.

Oh yeah, that was my other question, would it be much easier for us to be sprinters and find local runners? And, duh, cupcakes will be traveling with me for you guys.

some folks did that way. other folks just tried to get the first place out of town. this year I am hoping to have two bags for first place out of town from freight baggage. I just have to talk to travis when I go to san fran next week for the naccc..

I'm glad to hear about the maps. does everyone do every checkpoint in the same order or is it the luck of the draw?
I won one of Travis's pre-Freight bags in a race a few years ago. It'd be great to try for a new one (though the old one is going strong after three years of daily use).

the team has a hour or so to map out their stragety. you don't have to do all the checkpoints in order.

with the date being moved it's now the same day as my friend's race, but i might help respresent boston at this.

if you show i suppose i could go with. still want me and my "nice wheels" as a partner?
:)

from where to where are the sprinters going?

Only if you ride the iro and we can be team ORANGE

I dont have it anymore. I sold it after I got my panasonic. I can wrap it in orange tape if needed.

who puts on this race? is there any info from previous year's races? i'd kinda like to know what i'm getting into since i don't know what i expected for the r.e.load race, but what i got was an overwhelming clusterf*ck that took an hour of sitting down and planning out. but i did have fun, and that's what counts.

Dailey puts it on. What sort of info are you after? You're getting into a superfun race and party that is much more concrete than the (also superfun) april fools race. Come on down! You'll love it!

what the set up of the race is, how far is the sprinter going (from the art museum to where), is the runner just delivering packages (real packages?) all over philly, is it a points race or a regular manifest race, about how long was last years, pictures, videos, etc ?

You can only come if you promise not to end up in the hospital this time.

I'll supply the bread.

No campers though.

There goes my plan of visiting a hospital in every major city in America...;) I'm so done with getting hit. Seriously. And the campers...uh...yeah...no. Can you nab some of those yummy chocolate croissant things again? mmm.

I have yet to find a partner for this.

No packages. Well, envelopes, but nothing big. I did it without a bag last year. The sprinter's route is something like 2.2 miles round trip. Regular manifest style race. The sprinter picks the next drop at the art museum, delivers the envelope to the runner, and the runner scampers off to do the thing that the envelope says to. Not a particularly long race, I am pretty sure that the winners took about an hour and a half last year (?). I know nothing of pics or videos.

chip thunder is right on but this year I am planning on have somewhat bigger or even more fragile packages this time around. so a bag would be idea for both members of the team. it's a ****ing messenger race... yeah the winning team took about almost 2 hours to do it maybe a little less. this time around there will be more checkpoints then the previous years. (this will be the third year for me doing this race. I took it over from a old messenger, dan muprhy.)

so yeah have fun....big bbq afterwards... with tons of beer.. and red bull!!!!

I have yet to find a partner for this.

be vics, i'm working a checkpoint

Who can I e-mail about a floor to sleep on? I'm psyched about the race!

id offer, but im homeless after the 30th.

be vics, i'm working a checkpoint

vic wouldn 't be my partner I'm not gung ho "**** YEAH GONNA WIN WOOOOOO!" enough with my races for him.

I need someone laid back who will get trashed before the race with me.

can I win out of towner since I'm moving to Collingswood on the 28th? :)

as far as places to crash. hit me up at phillybma@gmail.com or dailey@phillybma.org. I will do my best...

out of town for me is folks that don't live in a 10 to 15 mile radius of the city the race is be put on. so that should answer question... :)

It wouldn't feel right, but I think Collingswood is about 8 miles away.

Can someone give me some info on the Chinatown bus thing from Philly to NYC? I googled it and came up with http://www.2000coach.com/philnewyorrt.html or https://www.apexbus.com but I don't know if that's what I've seen chatter about or if it's a different service. It's a lot cheaper than Amtrak for sure!

china bus is good. you go, you wait in line, sometimes they fill up sometimes theyre empty. you put your bike under it no problem.

Do you have to box it? It looks like you can reserve a ticket online in advance too.

Hey Dailey Philly, did you get my e-mail?

http://amrys.devl.org/photo/bel-air-12/bel-air-12-Images/12.jpg Days!

I'm slow as ****, but if anyone's desperate for a partner I'd be into riding. Otherwise, you need volunteers to sit at checkpoints & harass people or anything?

last year's race was ill and it was MUCH FUN (for the sprinters, ha!)

pictured below center is me standin around like a sucka while my teammate is out on a run that he would never return from!

Yo! I was there waiting for my teammate to get back from one of the checkpoints. Here's a picture of me coming in from the Art Museum.

Thanks and credit to Kevin D for the great shutter work!

I'm afraid I'm going to miss this years race, which stinks cause I'd love to see how its going to be more fun for the sprinters. No naps while waiting for your runner to return from the stadiums?
