rbent Forum - Dart, anyone?

Reply #45 - Oct 22^nd, 2008, 5:19am I just got an e-mail from Charlie Jenkins saying that JS isn't a current RUSA member. I checked RUSA, and he does not show to be a 2008 member. Strange though, as it has his Last Chance 1200k results as "pending". I'll contact John to ensure he's a RUSA member.

I'm hopefully going to do the next cut tonight on "The Precious" as my wife has dubbed the carbent. I have my tools laid out and the food poisoning seems to be mostly gone - I dropped 10 pounds in two days, but I don't recommend it as a diet as I'm pretty weak right now.

Once I get the boom mostly right, I'll still need your help Bud to dremel out the channel for the boom....

Worse case scenario I'm V-rexed again.

I'll be riding tomorrow evening, but stop by Friday if you feel you still need help with it.

I think I'm ok. I think it's sized right now, but I need to saw the split tonight, size the chain, and raise the bars a bit. I spent most of my daylight time yesterday trying to find where the movers had put my bike toolbox Grin

The only thing I might need is to borrow your twofish lockblock again. I have my lights but the blocks were on backorder.

Well I dusted off the Corsa for the commute today, looks I will be coming bent (more than usual?). So Greg are you really going to make your inaurgural carbent foray on the Dart? I look forward to seeing it!

Hey Steve what time are you expecting to leave the house Saturday morning, I'll do the Ray lunch/ride trade with you.

Take Care,
Nelson.

Nelson , Pilot Point is 30 minutes from my house. So I should leave my house at 5:30am. Do you want to share a ride? I can drive.
We could meet at my house.

I started rereading this thread and noticed a couple things.

I never signed the waiver. Can someone download the PDF and attach it to an email and send it to ggross@godleyisd.net? I can't access much of anything from work - I dunno how this forum isn't blocked. I'll scan it and email it to George now if someone can get me his email address.

What time are we starting from the lodge exactly?

Finally, after getting the carbent more adjusted last night I realized that Dana sent me the wrong bars and riser, so it's v-rexing again till next week, looks like.

Crap ,I had plans of commandeering the carbent during the dart! Seriously ,that sucks. I was looking forward to seeing you on the new toy. Sorry to hear the disappointing news.

You bring up a very good point(especially since I'm an alternate)...what waiver??? I believe the dart starts at 7:00am.

I've emailed George to see if we can just all sign it in the morning. I've made up control cards and am printing out some copies of the cue sheet. Anything else we need?
