I'm riding the 500 mile 4 person team with my original two mates, Dennis and Jeremy.  A DF rider (Herb) who was on Denn's team last year will be our 4th rider.  No record setting pace this year.
 
What is everyone elses intentions?  Seems people have been rather hush-hush this year?

I'll be down volunteering or some such but no riding for me  

entry sent for solo 500.  Should be an interesting experiment!
 
- Nelson.

wow - you guys are awesome, tackling the solo.  
 
With all of us doing all of this, and all the other Bent riders coming in, how the hell are we going to handle logistics?  Who the hell are we going to get to crew???

Go 'Bents! Yeah!  I'm sure glad you crazies are tackling the solo rides this time and I'm not since I still have no idea what I'm doing. I figured I'd tag along with Greg this time to try to get a handle on how it's done. Speaking of... When do we get around to the racing and fueling lectures, Greg?? Having a handle on how to keep the pedals turning for that long is just the beginning.
 
Probably a good thing bacchettabikes forum won't let me login from home to join in on all the fun there. Especially with JS coaxing us tx boys to misbehave. I guess he's expecting Peggy and Shellene to behave. Having never met them, I have no idea but they are anything like most of the girls that ride with us, that would certainly be the bigger mistake.
 
BTW, Gary (Corsa) and I (and ~10 other df riders from our group) are coming up for HHH. We're planning on trying to hook up with you guys for the recumbent start and a few of us are planning to ride the TTTT course the next day. Is there any chance we could get together to meet you rbent folk and talk actual racing then? Maybe check out the pit area and get an idea of how things are supposed to work?
 
Think I could bring my 400 gal stock tank up for the TTTT?  We don't have enough water left in S. Tx to fill it. Figure it might get a little use up there. Jump in after every lap.

Well Peggy & I have secured our crew-our coach(William Pruett ,whom some have met during our Goatneck-Cleburne 213k death ride this Saturday) has generously accepted the role(which is huge, managing 2 separate riders in a 24 hour event). Tracking nutrition, laps, coaching ,hydration, etc... kinda important stuff.  All we have to do is pedal, not worry about logistics. Hats off to Nelson for not only riding the 500 solo,BUT crewing for himself.
 
I'm sure I'll be getting lapped ,but that's OK, I'll find my pace & keep pedaling.  
 
3 female recumbents entered for the TT's(Peggy, Shellene, & SK), very cool. Go ladies.

No sir, they're all yours if you would like.

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?
