Title: Re: Shiner G.A.S.P., Sat May 4th Post by dhansen on Apr 24th, 2013, 3:16am I'm signed up! #8 - 5:30 back to Austin. This will be my 3rd year doing the GASP. Year 1 Musashi, year 2 Baron, year 3 Musashi! |

Title: Re: Shiner G.A.S.P., Sat May 4th Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Apr 24th, 2013, 7:14am Welcome aboard, Dan!!! We're not planning to "hammer" the ride, since neither Dave nor I have been doing a lot of long distance riding -- so whatever your planned pace, we'll look to hook up at the start! I'll be wearing my VITE jersey... |

Title: Re: Shiner G.A.S.P., Sat May 4th Post by jdorlon on Apr 24th, 2013, 11:06am I'll look for you guys up front too. This is also my third year for the Shiner GASP. The first two years were on a wedgie. Never again! I haven't had as much training this spring as I would have liked so I am not sure what my average speed will be. I am guessing it will be around 18-20 for the first 60 miles and slower after that! |

Title: Re: Shiner G.A.S.P., Sat May 4th Post by aikigreg on Apr 25th, 2013, 9:03am Still giving it some thought and trying to work it out. You guys are sure they don't have any issues with hauling bents? |

Title: Re: Shiner G.A.S.P., Sat May 4th Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Apr 25th, 2013, 1:25pm I wasn't aware of any "recumbents in the front" situation with this ride -- I assume they've done this in the past? Dave and I aren't going to be haulin' a**, but an 18-20 rolling pace for the first half sounds doable... PB |

Title: Re: Shiner G.A.S.P., Sat May 4th Post by jdorlon on Apr 25th, 2013, 2:51pm Honestly I don't remember for sure. I know HHH had recumbents up front last year, and I think Tour de Paris did too. I guess I just assumed Shiner did too when you said "hook up at the start". Somehow I got "front" out of "start". But now that I think about it....I think Shiner was just a 'mass start' from a parking lot last year. No 'recumbents in front' rule. In any case, I am sure we won't be (at least I won't be) the fastest ones there so I'm not worried about it. I actually prefer to not start at the very front. I have noticed in these rides that if I start at the front, people pass me and that makes me feel like a slowpoke. If I start further back, even halfway back, I pass a lot of people, and that makes me feel fast. |

Title: Re: Shiner G.A.S.P., Sat May 4th Post by FlyingLaZBoy on May 2nd, 2013, 2:30pm I've had to cancel my Shiner ride trip at the last minute. Anyone want to ride/stay with dave rothgeb, do the 100-miler, ride the 5:30 bus backto Austin, and come back up Sunday? You can use my registration... Call me. 2146906781 Paul |
