Greg, I've got a big tent with a screenroom for gear.  Remind me and we can have a look to see if it will work.

What out of state B riders are coming, and what events are the participating in?

Steve, any word on Larry Ide, and if he'll be on one of JS bikes?

 
No Larry Ide this year(too bad). Last I heard, he will be on a CA ,competing in the Ultra Cup full time next year. He's been tearing up some training rides this year, look out next year.

Just curious, is anyone planning to enter the 6-hour competition this year, recumbent-wise?  I'm strangely tempted, and think I could get four laps in... even in the potential heat of midday...

Paul - considering your time on the course, you should tackle the 6 hour.  You would certainly be setting a high standard for any type of bike.  
 
Everyone - have you seen the rider list that Dan posted?  Other than our small bent family entered, I don't know anyone?  Hopefully on the next post, he'll identify where they are from.

Hi Ray,
 
  You know Gary Gottlieb  and Bob Riggs, I imagine there will be a lot more entries the next posting.
 
Take Care,
Nelson.

Has anyone worked out their pit plan yet?  I'm riding the 500, and should be fairly self-sufficient for the most part, but would love to have some help to refill bottles and camelbak bladders while I'm out on course.  Problem is, I don't know who to ask.  Should I just wait until I get there and flag down one of the volunteers?  
 
I haven't done this before, so the details are an unknown at this point.
 
Thanks,
Steve

I like the idea of having "RBENT Central" like we've basically done the last couple of years, if we can arrange it.  I believe I'm getting an overhead from PCF, and having a semi-centralized area for nutritional stuff, etc. is handy -- plus, it just adds to the general conversational abilities!
 
For those who have specific foodstuffs for themselves, we could perhaps have some specific tables set up, as well as a general water/food/whatever area.  My particular event doesn't start until Saturday midday, but I'll be down there on Friday to do my volunteer shift, then tent camping that night.

Would be nice to help fund and help supply such an effort also. Maybe give us an idea of what to bring?  Hoping Greg gets the thumbs up though as I probably won't make it if he has to drop out. I'm likely not mentally prepared to do a solo right now.

I guess I just assumed we were on our own for ice and water.  I figured I would bring my 48 quart cooler full of ice and water, and have 6 or 8 bottles in there made up.  I'll have all the mixings already made up into baggies so it should be pretty simple to resupply.
 
Had an object lesson in backup plans tonight.  Got on the bike to leave the house to commute into work.  Headlight no workie.  Messed with the battery wiring a little, it comes on, then right back off.  The connector came unsoldered on me.  Bummer, I had loaned out my backup light over a year ago and never got it back.  Oh well, better to find this out now than at 8 pm on the 24th.
