Hi Folks,  Ray glad to hear the procedure is done, I almost called you last night, but decided not to disturb you.  I'm weathering a cold right now, hopefully will knock it out before Saturday.  As for directions,   For you Ray, I think it is best to go 121 -> 75 -> 380.  After you are on 380 in Mckinney its only about 6 miles to the start point.  You turn N in Princeton on FM75 and proceed North to the elementary school.  There is a large parking lot there.  But it is very small town.  In the forms I sent you there are some detailed directions.
 
I will try and attach the files to this post, the detailed directions are in there.
Take Care,
Nelson.

That's AOK with me Steve, Although I don't believe its legal to offer any support outside of a designated control.  Hope tp see ya there, Printed out Cue Sheets, and Control Cards, and waivers today so I think I'm ready.  Still debugging on the Tour Easy so probably will not ride it, most likely be on the Corsa.  Got the derailleurs adjusted, and finally got the *Bleeping* front brake to quit dragging.  I'm not such a big fan of V brakes.
 
Take Care,
Nelson.

Yeah, that's right, no help outside controls, unless you're picking up a dnf'er, and I hope there will be none of those.

Father Strada - If you're volunteering to SAG, then count me in on a donation.  While it's not supposed to be cold this Saturday, last winter, Mike Morris' wife (Gaye) did SAG on almost every Perm we did.  She is quite experienced and had hot soup, sandwiches, drinks, etc... at every control.  That's not really necessary during the summer, but the hot soup was awesome on the really cold rides.
 
Sounds like we're going to have a pretty good turn out.  Still appears to be a 30% chance of rain, but relatively warm.
 
btw:  Go Packers!!!!  I'm in the camp of the anti-Jerry faction.

Add me to the anti-Cowgirls camp(Go Colts). I don't know if you want me to SAG. I can't even take care of myself,let alone others.

And I thought I was bad about hijacking threads.........
 
They're still talking about scattered showers, but the low tonight is only going to be 60 degrees, and they're predicting 70 degrees for tomorrow afternoon. I think we need to just ride, and Steve needs to rent a bus, and if we get into a cold downpour, he can just haul us all in.

See all you cowboys, cowgirls, and ermm...   others in the morning.  Plan to get out there near 6AM for you early arrivers (RAY).  Also I've decided that since I'm going to be slow anyway I'm going to ride the Tour Easy, maybe not the wisest decision with less than 100 miles on it, but it is pretty comfy, and the fairing will be quite nice for the long trek back from Honey Grove into the wind (and I'm rather smitten at the moment).  Weather looks like 59-69 at the moment with slightly less chance of rain now woohoo!  
 
Take Care,
Nelson.
