Dairyland Dare - August 16, 2008

Don't know if we have a thread for this yet, but I finally got around to registering. 200K. OK who's in?

BTW - there is a code for $10 off registration if you use it by this Friday. Code is 10OFFBY627

I'm in....200k....Saturday, by nightfall finish or bust. Heading to the Rockies for 3 weeks of training. Perhaps I'll see Speedy. Will check in regarding my progress. My goal is to make the ride from Boulder to Ward. If I make that, DLD will seem like a piece of cake.

I wanted to try the long one...think I could make it but I'd need extra time. If I could ride into the night...with a headlight.....I think I could make it. Knowing you...you'll probably finish about the time I wrap up the 200k

Aren't you going to have little nietsmas with you? Pretty daring. I'm impressed.

May have to find a room and go up the night before.

I'm thinking of rolling the dice and hoping I'll be back by then. 200k


I'm in, subject to doctors OK. Please don't kill me guys, I'm likely to be a rolling pig by then.

Dang. The whole crew is going to be up there this year! Almost.



I may have have to drown my sorrow at missing the DLD by giving something like this a go that day...

Is anyone in for dinner on Friday? We ate a good restaurant in Mineral Point last year....The Brewery, I think. I could check on a reservation there? Or we could go with pizza and beer???? I plan to be there by around 5 - 6 pm. I actually have to work on Friday teach a workshop for new teachers. I will instruct them to buy a bike and pedal off their frustrations.....end of workshop!!!!!

Scummer, how's the cleanup going? Power yet? I've been thinking about you and your family.

Congrats to the new dad! What an adorable girl!!!!

How's the collarbone?

Ok...let me know if you want to dine! and your preferred place and time.

I'm planning on picking up my packets at Harris Park around 5:00. Pizza and Beer is a good choice. Mineral Point is also fine.
