Paul, Steve didn't write "thingy", that's the censored version that the forum is showing you. That would be D - I - C - K - S Sporting Goods.
 
The $150 ain't helping my budget, either. That's why some sponsorship would be nice.

Shall we attempt to do another Cleburne TTTT course ride on Saturday, August 11th?  8AM departure.  Plan for three loops minimum?  Will Greg be in town?   I don't want to do this much closer to HHH...
 
Paul

If I'm in town, I'm in!!! With the current family situation,it's hard to commit.  I could use some more hill training &it would nice to familiarize myself with the course.
 
Bud,thanks for clearing(and cleaning)up the D-I-C-K-S comment.

Same here...

If I could talk Nelson, and the rest of my team into it, possibly we could meet at the course for a little friendly competition. Oh, say 200-300 miles.  One of our team members (Dennis Cook) lives in San Angelo, so it might be difficult. The loosers could either sponsor the winners (ha), bring the beer, or something enticing.
 
Since our TTTT team will be mixed (bents/DF), a new category has been developed.  It's called the bi-bikers category.  
 
Good news is that everyone completing the 500 mile race receives the same cool trophy as the first place rider/team.  We're going to rent an RV for TTTT.  Looking forward to a great event.
 

Not a bad idea...  and that Monday is the joint FWBA / GDB ride in Venus...

OK, Greg's back -- we're on for the Cleburne TTTT course ride again, 7:30 (yawn) departure from the church site on Park Road 21.  Same plan of attack as before, 1st lap moderate/whatever for familiarization, 2nd lap "for time", 3rd lap negotiable, and so on?  Steve, if your personal situation holds fast, we'll see you there.
 
If any of you other folks want to make the drive all the way down there and are in need of a hill climbing and fast downhill fix, you're certainly welcome.  From north Dallas, it's about a 90 minute / 90 mile trip one way...

Yes, I stopped by after our last ride there. It's a beautiful state park and the campsites look very nice. We'll have electricity and showers. I'll be going down that Thursday night, and grabbing a site as close to the showers as I can get. It looks like I'll be able to borrow my sister-in-law's popup camper, so that will be a good place to nap between laps.
