Title: Re: Lancaster Rally Roll call Post by TonyWard on Mar 16th, 2015, 7:44pm I'll be there for the 100k on one of those "other" bikes. I gotta get me a new pair of socks! |

Title: Re: Lancaster Rally Roll call Post by TonyWard on Mar 16th, 2015, 7:47pm Had a friend on the PBA ride ask what GDB does with the proceeds from the rally. Told him some goes to each town but wasn't sure about any thing else. Does some go to the club for operating expenses? Just curious. |

Yes, some goes to the club, but we donate THOUSANDS to local DFW-area charities, including the towns that help with the rally. We've been fortunate to have good weather and good participation the last several years - but just a couple of rainout years can really hurt the bank account... PB |

Title: Re: Lancaster Rally Roll call Post by Patti on Mar 18th, 2015, 9:36pm Love the Lancaster ride but I just had surgery and do not know if I will be up for it or not. Have to wait and see how quickly things heal… :o |

Title: Re: Lancaster Rally Roll call Post by diannalightning on Mar 19th, 2015, 5:32pm I like this ride but will be attending a friend's wedding on the 11th of April. Everyone have fun and enjoy that killer hill. It's a character builder. |

Title: Re: Lancaster Rally Roll call Post by shellbear on Mar 19th, 2015, 9:20pm I'm in, probably for the 100k. Gotta get in miles for the MS150!! |

Title: Re: Lancaster Rally Roll call Post by BentTrekker on Apr 6th, 2015, 8:51pm I'm thinking about giving the 100k a try on my Catrike 700. I've never done a paid ride before, and I've only done one 100k. I believe I can do this! Now, I just have to find a sitter for my kids and make it happen... |

Title: Re: Lancaster Rally Roll call Post by jayg on Apr 6th, 2015, 9:11pm I'm thinking about skipping this year's ride and doing Ride Ataxia the next day (Apr. 12). |
|
Title: Re: Lancaster Rally Roll call Post by Patti on Apr 7th, 2015, 6:05pm I think I'm going to wait and see what the weather looks like. Lancaster doesn't look good and neither does Ataxia. I've gotten in some good rides in the last few days so I think I could do Lancaster but only if the weather doesn't screw it up. I was supposed to be working the Easy Street Road Show on Sunday but Mike had to pull the plug because of the forecast. Now, I'm free to ride but only if its not stormy. I hate riding in the rain. |

Yeah, I'll just have to pay at the door if the weather is OK. I hope it will be clear! |

Title: Re: Lancaster Rally Roll call Post by jayg on Apr 7th, 2015, 6:16pm No Ride Ataxia for me, if Easy Street is not going to be there. |

Title: Re: Lancaster Rally Roll call Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Apr 9th, 2015, 10:10pm Looks like they've dropped the precip forecasts to only 10% for Saturday... yaaay! |
|
Title: Re: Lancaster Rally Roll call Post by Mdicke on Apr 9th, 2015, 10:11pm Down to 10% for falling water. If that holds probably going to do a day of register and ride. Now i have to figure out how ambitious to be. 42 or 100k |

Title: Re: Lancaster Rally Roll call Post by Ldoc1234 on Apr 9th, 2015, 11:31pm Definitely looks like better weather. Will do the 100k if possible. Havent done that distance for some months but need to get ready for MS150 in 3 weeks on my carbontrike. will try ride with you Shellbear. |

Title: Re: Lancaster Rally Roll call Post by MrWizard on Apr 10th, 2015, 9:36pm Wish I can be there, but I've just been a victim of the airline industry and my flight is canceled . I won't get back to DFW until the morning .. I hope you guys have a good time. |
