Yessss!

If the state of Florida allows me to leave I'm down

I'm there. We'll smuggle you out, Corey.

Woohoo! Yay Florida! If anyone from out-of-state, which is basically everyone on this board, needs a place to stay, we can hook ya up. Just fyi.

Team Gainesville!

I'll fire up the truck for that one fo'sho'.

i definitely would recommend bringing a bike with a freewheel for this.

The website is up, the prizes are coming in, the route is set, the bands are picked, and the party is ready to roll.

Check out http://24.fastermustache.org/ for more info!

Anyone from out of town, PM or e-mail me for a place to stay. We can definitely hook you up with a couch/floorspace/bed!

really? i was planning on just gearing down and running a brake. what's a good gear for atl riding?

About 400 of us are coming up from the Tampa/St Pete area. I'll have hard numbers for you tomorrow morning. We'll take beer and *******s (Luke excluded) in lieu of floor space.

im comin down to get s**t fired up.

whats the route?

Awesome. I'll throw ya'll in the shed out back. Does luke require a cupcakes since he's underage? ;)

As for gearing (hehe giggle, that's my name), I would probably use a free wheel just because your time will be a lot faster and you won't blow your knees out. Several of my friends blew their knees out last year riding hard fixed. I'm going to start out fixed and switch if it gets too bad. My gearing is a 47x17, although I'll have a 16 on there soon. It's not too bad, but it's not Florida. We have hills. And lights on hills that you have to stop for (plus one for a break).

Whenever you have exact numbers of people, let me know and I'll work out the housing situation!

The map of the route is on the website, but if you're familiar with the place names it's Johnny's to the new Lenny's to Octane to Skate Escape to No Brakes to Johnny's. It's longer than last year and more difficult in the fact that it isn't a nice loop. Should be interesting.

each team needs to have one fixed rider right? Does that rider have to ride fixed the whole race?

Noone needs to be fixed. We have a lot of squid teams come out on their fancy road bikes, so it's no problem if you ride free or fixed or on a trike or a tall bike. And you can race solo too if that's your deal.

I'm doing this thing all out squid. Purplebike is the only one that has had a look (;)) at my new secret weapon. Mwahahahahaa ha!

BTW the solo thing is so my deal.

Dude, let me in on the secret. I won't tell.

If I do you can lock me up in Thai Jail.

Awww, if you're going squid there's probably going to be some a****** on a fixie saying "I could have beat him if I'd had gears".
Be like Kyle and kick all their asses street-fix style. And walk half the last lap with ****ed up knees just to show them how hardcore you are.

You mean blow your knees out and then have problems all year?

After thought and debate, I will most likely be going solo fixed. I haven't decided. I guess I should soon.

does anyone know about how long the course is in miles for each lap?

It's 13-14 miles depending on what route you take.

Not really much of a secret I guess, It's a Look 555. I may ride fixed through the Saturday afternoon traffic madness and switch to gears for the night. As far as the route goes, I have found a way to do it in 11 miles but will be blocked Saturday afternoon and a little scary Saturday night.
