Well if you want to test your heat conditioning tommorow looks to be a perfect day for it. I plan on heading up to Van Alstyne for a 7am then riding over to forestburg to the control and then back to Van Alstyne to the end solo trudging along on my baloon tired 50lb+ bike.

I may be crawling or I may be blazing along at 12mph I can't know for sure till I'm on the road as yesterday I seemed to be going well and this morning I was crawling along. [smiley=embarassed.gif]

If one or more of y'all RUSA members wants to sign the waiver at the start and then leave your card on my car at the finish I can take care of it just let me know and I can print a card for ya. The only rule is no pretending to be sick or faking a knee injury to stay back, unless you actually are afflicted by such of course [smiley=beer.gif]

I want a detailed description of any corn fields that are encountered(i.e.Italy,Tx reference). Are you riding by yourself? Be careful in the heat. Peggy & I are choosing to ride a shorter route/distance...EARLY!

Have you considered riding the July 20th Italy night brevet? Peggy & I rode the night brevet last year in Weatherford & had a blast. We plan to ride the night brevet this year. It's a lot of fun.

Depending on the results of manana I will be signing up for the night ride.. I really love riding at night so a 200k at night might be a really nice treat.

The corn fields in Italy aren't so bad at night(as opposed to what they look like in the blazing sun & 100+ degree temps). The 200k Italy route is a good route.

Considering how poorly I've tolerated the heat this year, I'm planning on doing the night 200k, too. Have a good ride tomorrow, Mark.

Yes, EV be careful. Peggy & I are riding Nelson's Blue Ridge Boogie(early)tomorrow. Bud, glad to hear you're gonna join us in Italy(night brevet). There's just something about riding at night. It's like a bunch of kids in a candy store. Last year Nelson ,Greg, Peggy & I didn't stop yacking until several hours into the ride. There was a secret control(right Shellene & Bryan? ). I believe Nelson is riding with us as well.

Now to get Greg, Ray & Paul to join us.

Oh Yeah! Wouldn't miss the night ride! Looking forward to it again!

EV do be careful in the heat, I'll be cruising in the van back to Texas tomorrow, I'll have the phone on 469-644-5827.

Take Care,
Nelson.
