Count me in...  I'll renew my RUSA and LSR memberships, in the meantime.  Been too long since I've done the rando thing...   Smiley

I'm in since Bryan is out of town.  Slow down?  I'm going to have to train to be able to keep up!  (just about 0 miles so far this year - school)  However, school will be finished in early May, so I will have plenty of time to train.

One more rider and we could form 2 teams and if anyone has to back out, then we could consolidate into 1 team (if I'm counting correctly - you know how well mathematicians count  Wink)

Ok, here's the list so far:
 
Bud
Peggy
Shellene
Greg
Shelley
Paul
 
Teams are to be 3 to 5 members, so we do indeed have enough riders for two teams. With two teams, we could add 4 more riders, so who else wants to join us? I spoke with Pam Wright on a ride last Saturday, and she thinks since LSR is sponsoring the dart, that both LSR and RUSA memberships are required.  
 
Anyone who is interested should read over the dart rules. As has been mentioned, you don't need to be a fast rider, since the team rides together and needs to use almost all of the 12 hours to complete the distance. You do, however, need to be able to complete a 112 mile ride. Greg hasn't done this kind of distance since he's been riding again, but with over two months still left to train, I'm confident he can do it. So can anyone else who wants to start training for it now.
 
If we do two teams, we'll need a second dart route. It should start at or near Lynn Creek Marina and be at least 112 miles long. I still need to check some of the roads on my route. Who wants to design a second route?

Mark Metcalfe says he'll join us. Mark doesn't ride a recumbent, but he's one of the most savvy rando riders I know, and has been friends with several of us rbenters for a long time. So the list is:
 
Bud
Peggy
Shellene
Greg
Shelley
Paul  
Mark M

Ok, I'll captain one team, but there is the chance that shoulder surgery will keep me from riding, so I need at least 4 riders on my team, in case I have to bail last minute. My ortho evaluation appointment is just over a week away, so hopefully I'll soon know when the surgery will be. I've been waiting since early February, and my shoulder is getting worse by the day, so there's no way I'm going to postpone when I get scheduled.
 
We'll call my team Dart Vader. I have a route made up, though I still need to test ride some of the roads, and get all the info on the controls. I'll email Vickie and see what else I need to do. Do we have a captain and route designer for a second team? There are existing 200k routes out of Joe Pool that could be used for a second route. Who's riding with me?

I'm trying to get some riding in, and would love to put this on the calendar for motivation.  I have some undetermined travel this summer, but think it is more likely that will happen in July.  
 
Take Care,
Nelson.

I talked to Vickie. She didn't know all the details yet, but the Dart will definitely be on June 16th out of Joe Pool. As long as all the teams use different routes, we can all start at 7:00 am (if two teams use the same route, they can't start at the same time). There are lots of existing 200k routes that start at Joe Pool. If we field a second team, it could use one of those existing routes (Vickie said no one had claimed Rio Vista Rumble yet). Here are the 8 riders who've said they wanted to ride.
 
Bud
Peggy
Shellene
Greg
Shelley
Paul  
Mark M  
Nelson
 
Is everyone still riding? We still need a name for the second team. And who wants to be captain of it? Paul? Nelson? Shellene? Peggy?

I'm still in, and if someone else will captain it I don't care which "team" I'm on, so long as I get to ride with you fine folks.  
 
Though may I suggest the other team be "Dart Mouth" Smiley
