It's not fer certain yet, but I MAY have an intriguing new steed to ride for Hell Week...   We'll see how benevolent the Recumbent Gods and Goddesses are feeling....  Something a bit lighter than a steel SXP Cheesy Wink Roll Eyes    
 
Shhhhhhhh.......

Ok, I can be there the 16th and 17th, the 19th and 20th, or the 21st-22nd, since I have to work around my baseball schedule.  I'll check with the wife and we'll come for a few days, provided I get doctor's clearance to climb hills again and can get back in clipless!

Greg --
  You can stay at the house with me that first weekend, but outside of that you'll have to have other accomodations.

Hate to disappoint,  but the anticipated "new ride" isn't going to materialize, at least for Hell Week purposes...   I had attempted to take Randy Schlitter up on his offer of a Ti factory bike, thinking he might do it even if it wasn't a "race" as such...   However, they're apparently behind on production(?) and don't have any bikes available to loan out...    cry
 
However, he DID say, "Maybe another time!"   Smiley Cool
 
So, it looks like I'll probably be chugging up those Fredericksburg mountains on the SXP, after all... which is still just fine!   (wonder if I can lose 8 pounds in 10 days...   Cheesy )

Oh, and at the moment (3/4), the weather forecast looks VERY promising for Hell Week weekend!!!  Greg, you still planning to go?

Still planning - my wife and I are going to spend some time in Austin that week too (Spring break).  Just trying to nail down plans with her friend there and then I'll have the dates!

yes, long term forecast shows temps to be in the 80's.  I plan on being there all week, and since this is my 5th Hell Week, I'm very familiar with the process, most of the routes, etc...  I've also been to Fredericksburg 50 times, so I know the area very well to.  So if anyone has any questions, let me know.  
 
I will probably ride the A or B ride every day, with the exception of Monday, where I'll ride the 200k.  
 
I'm staying at my favorite B&B about a mile from the start.  It's $89 per night for a full house, full kitchen, washer and dryer, etc...  Dennis Cook is planning on rooming with me.
 
So, Paul and Greg are confirmed.  Anyone else?

Ok, I'm in for Sunday and Monday, if you don't mind a roomate, Paul.  My only problem is my lack of current conditioning and base miles, so I don't think it's a good idea for me to be doing a 200k.  
I'm definitely in for Sunday - what mileage are you guys planning to ride?
 
I'd hate to be riding by my danged self the whole time.  Who else is going to come?

Consider me "de-confirmed"...  life has gotten in the way of a carefree four-day cycling vacation this weekend.  I'll shoot for next year....   cry

Dangit - without you I have no room!  Anyone know of a cheap place to stay?  I have a place in Austin but don't want to drive 80 miles every day there and back again.
