Title: Re: Dallas Sr. Games, March 4-5 Post by reever on Dec 20th, 2016, 5:41pm Bud, I read your report on the 2007 Senior Games. One thing was missing--how much did you win by?????? |

Title: Re: Dallas Sr. Games, March 4-5 Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Jan 9th, 2017, 3:05pm I'm hoping to do this, but may have to go to NJ that weekend.... |

Title: Re: Dallas Sr. Games, March 4-5 Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Jan 11th, 2017, 8:04am Since I don't get back until Saturday, I'm probabaly going to sign up for the 40K race on Sunday. Anyone else planning to participate, in some fashion? Dean Wilkinson (GDB) has made a true effort to include 'bents in this... |

Title: Re: Dallas Sr. Games, March 4-5 Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Jan 17th, 2017, 9:29am I"m registered for the 40K on that Sunday, three-wheel division. Registration fee is $40 total, regardless of how many things you participate in. The registration site is a little confusing, but you basically check the boxes for everything you want to participate in, including indicating your 2- or 3-wheel class. Ignore the "60-64" that seems to be present after every choice - no idea why that's there. Jane Knight is publicizing the hell out of this on Facebook... :D |

Title: Re: Dallas Sr. Games, March 4-5 Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Jan 27th, 2017, 1:25pm The 20K and 40K road race allows drafting. No fairings are allowed... two wheel and three wheel recumbents are different classes, as are men and women. I'm not sure about age group classifications... |

Title: Re: Dallas Sr. Games, March 4-5 Post by MrWizard on Jan 30th, 2017, 9:36am I talked to Dean, if we can get 3 or more of any 1 kind of bike he is willing to make a new category. Greg, Bud, I'm talking to you here.. We need a velomobile category :D |

Title: Re: Dallas Sr. Games, March 4-5 Post by Patti on Jan 30th, 2017, 5:48pm I'm signed up for two and three wheel events. Hope I can find enough time to train. |

Title: Re: Dallas Sr. Games, March 4-5 Post by jrob_bent on Jan 31st, 2017, 9:14pm Well, I can't make it. I had Inguinal hernia surgery 21 days ago, and will have major shoulder surgery on the 14th of February. I hope everyone good luck and have fun. Get those velos out there and show case them. I hope to be there next year. |

Title: Re: Dallas Sr. Games, March 4-5 Post by Bud_Bent on Feb 1st, 2017, 8:38pm I promised myself I would never, never, ever enter his senior games again, and I'm keeping that promise. |

Title: Re: Dallas Sr. Games, March 4-5 Post by Mdicke on Feb 15th, 2017, 5:32pm I was trying to determine if it would be possible to ride all of the events and sent a note to DPR. Here is the response I got back. Saturday morning looks like you are going to clip in and basically spend the next 3 and half hour doing a sprint. If all goes well you should be done by 1:00. I did send a follow-up to see if it was a mass or staggered start. SCHEDULE March 4th(Sat) 9:00a.m.-5KTT 10:15a.m. -10KTT 11:30a.m.- 20K Road Race (estimated times- based # cyclists and punctual start time at 9:00a.m. Sat morning) March 5th(Sun) 9:00 a.m.-start- Racing Venue is on the East Side of the 5 mile loop |

Title: Re: Dallas Sr. Games, March 4-5 Post by Mdicke on Feb 17th, 2017, 5:53pm After I got the start time information from Dean in the earlier note I asked about the type of start mass or staggered. Below it the response. Men will race separately from women. Men- will race by age groups 50-54, 55-59,60-64 etc. if they are large enough. If the groups are small I might combine 2 age groups. We will start the age groups at least 2 minutes apart. |

Title: Re: Dallas Sr. Games, March 4-5 Post by Action Lad on Feb 17th, 2017, 10:14pm I sure hope someone's shootin' video of this event. I can't go. :'( |

Title: Re: Dallas Sr. Games, March 4-5 Post by Patti on Feb 20th, 2017, 10:47pm Does anyone know if they are doing the bicycle events separate from the trike events? I signed up for both but am now wondering if I will be able to do so. It would be nice to get some clearer scheduling information. |
