I would love to ride.

It sounds like the Dart will begin at Lynn Creek Marina at Joe Pool Lake, so here's a proposed route. It makes a stop at Venus, then Itasca, then Italy, then the ever important stop 25k before the end of the ride (you have to do the last 25k in the last two hours) at Midlothian.
 
I'll join the team, but there's a chance that my shoulder surgery could happen just before the ride date and make me cancel, so someone else should be team captain. Peggy and I make two, so we need three more. Steve? Daniel? We need to start out with the maximum five team members, in case I'm a last minute scratch. Should we recruit Mark M as the token upright?

if I can get myself back in shape by then, i'd be up for it, but I'd be happy to bow out to a spouse.

Bud do you think we could come up with a team? Steve is a maybe, he has a other ride he may be doing. But I missed the first Dart you guys did. We had so much fun on the Fleche.  Peggy

I didn't even think about RAAM being at the same time. Peggy, it only takes 3 to 5 riders for a team, so let's do it. Any other rando riders interested? It's 180k and you have to take a full 12 hours to do it, so it's not like you have to be a fast rider at all.  
 
How about it, Shellene, you going to slow down for a day? What about Bryan?

Sorry Steve I didn't want to be the one to tell about RAAM. Bud I will email Mark and see if he is instered!!

Shelley, as Bud said, you don't have to be fast. In fact, there's generally a lot of down time as the team cannot finish before the 12 hr time limit. a 15 mph avg. is just about perfect for a DART.
