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've signed up a few weeks back. 200k as well. Should be a great suffer fest :)

I'm also in. Signed up for the long one.

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

I'm in for the 200k.

i'm in for 200k. as we did last year, the wife and i reserved a room at the deer valley lodge for the night before (indoor water park!)

Hmmmmm......

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.

^^^^ oh yeah, we are rooming it the night before. too long of a drive for me to go up the same day. just bring your PJs this time and no, your Birthday Suit doesnt count as PJs.

i guess i need to sign up also :).

later.

200K for me.

100k.

in.

i am thinking it will be the 200K though. these flatlander legs could explode if i attempt the 300K.

later.

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.:deadhorse:

Thanks for the code! :beer:

I'm in for the 200K :cheers:

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 :eek: 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.
