I've not seen the email, but I'd be up for a team.   Although, I'm considering doing it solo on a 'bent this year.

If someone can tell me how to get faster between now and then I might be up to being an alternate if you have absolutely no other options Wink I might just head down anyhow since it is so close to me to spectate or something.
 
Yeah ride more and lose weight. I've done both and I just get slower  cry Edit: (started another thread on this)

I just read the e-mail and jumped here to create a post, but you beat me to it Nelson.  I've been waiting for this almost a year...
 
YES YES YES
 
Peggy - are you still available to ride with us on a 4 person mixed team on the Tejas 500?  The mixed female/male 500 mile overall record (DF, bent, etc) is something that should be fairly easy to beat as long as we don't have any major mechanical or other issues.  That record is 31 hours, and we should be able to go under 30 hours!
 
Let's get the teams formed now?
 
Greg - I hear you're riding a solo 500 to qualify for 2009 RAAM.

Hmm, start a new thread on this topic.   It's much more than a little subject.   I suspect your problem is fueling and maybe over-training.    If not that, you're just riding and not 'training'.

Fark NO I'm not doing it solo.  If I do raam it'll be on a 4-man team.  I am however going to try and get a 4-man lowracer team going.  Though I am loathe to break up the Flyers!
 
Bud would you be in or out for a wheezing geezers team again?  Smiley

For those who haven't competed in the past, thus received the e-mail announcement, here it is
===============================================================
 
THE 2008 TEXAS TIME TRIALS
 
The Texas Time Trials Lives On: With your help we will once again resurrect The Texas Time Trials, to life. With a new date this year, The Tejas 500 will start on Thursday September 25th (48 hour start). We will need all the supporters, riders, sponsors and volunteers we can find to make this event a success, again. Please join in by spreading the word and helping with the list below. If you know a website or chat room that you can forward this to or post it to, that would be greatly appreciated.  
 
Racers:  The website should be updated before mid Aug., with more updates to follow. If you are planning on doing a team, get your pick of the litter before they are gone to another team. Many think that the 4 person 500-mile "Tejas 500" is the most fun and I can see why, you get to spend three fourths of your time resting.  With a 4-person team, each person rides 125 miles with-in two days and your done! Every member of a team completing 500 miles earns a * GORGEOUS trophies (http://www.tt24tt.com/awards.php).    
 
Volunteers:  You make the difference volunteers!  Bring out your squirt guns, fireworks, wigs & noise-makers.  With racers starting Thursday night and all races ending Saturday evening, volunteers are critical to keeping a festive and safe race.   Camping is available on-site, so bring your tent.  Except for smiling and yelling, no experience necessary, won't you join us?  Check out our cheerleaders and volunteer info!  http://www.tt24tt.com/volunteers.php  Every volunteer will receive a T-shirt with their name printed on the back, and their name will be placed on the website, but more importantly by volunteering you will become a part of something much bigger than any thing we could do on our own.  
 
Sponsors:   We need sponsors, preferably cash sponsors, but product is great. If you know a company that would be willing to sponsor The Texas Time Trials, we will add their logo to the event T-shirts and more. Check out the sponsor page on the TTT website.  
 
The Atmosphere:   What I love about this event is that amongst all the world class athletes, are regular riders like you and me,  Last years event brought riders from more than  a dozen different states and even another country. Let's show the world that long distance riding is alive and well in Hospitable North Texas. The Texas Time Trials has become a reunion, we get to see and talk to people that we love, but may only get to see once a year at The Time Trials. It has become  our annual pilgrimage to a place were all pitch in to keep a worthwhile tradition alive. It has become our own cycling Woodstock.  
 
Lone Star Randonneurs:  Although this is not a Randonneuring event per say, it is the way that we the members of LoneStar Randonneurs can give a little back to rest of the world. It is due in part to Lone Star Randonneur members like Rani F., Bill F. Pam W. Don E., Rick H., Jorge R. Mark-Linda-Lauren M., Brad-Julie F., Steve-Kelly B., Carl F. Frank B., Pat N., Brenda B., DeeAnn J., Phil S., Kyl S., Shanna B. and a bunch more, that really  make it happen.  I'm counting on every member of LSR to help in some way, if possible. Any one got some fresh ideas ? Please let us know where you will fit in to this part of our "History Book".

Not exactly - who knows if the team will even form?  But if not, Mark can sub in for Bud and we can keep it going.
 
I still think the name should be the Fing recumbents this year! Smiley

Ray, Nelson I'm very flattered to be asked to ride with you. But I'm not in the some class as the two of you, I can promise you one thing I will give it my all and I will train very hard. I think I will still be your Achilles  heel. With all that being said if you will still have me on your team then count me in Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy.I'll start training in the morning.  
 
What about the Flyers cry Bud your the team captain, Paul are you riding???? So does that leave Paul, Steve and Greg with out teams?

Peggy - you silly woman.  You are certainly in the same league as we are.  I'm sure I speak for Nelson when I say we've been looking forward to the opportunity to team with you since last year's TTTT.
 
At the moment, we still have one spot open as our team would be Peggy, Nelson and Ray.  While it would be awesome if your husband (I forgot his name)  Grin  could be on our team, I don't have any salary cap money, so he'll have to decide....
 
Steve - Please consider joining a team with Peggy, Nelson and myself for a 4 person, mixed TTTT Tejas 500 team.
