Thanks Bub I will help an anyway I can. If you can't ride I will happy to be a back up captin. It looks like the bents will have 2 teams. Smiley

That would be so cool.
I know we can't use the same route but could we use the same controls? That way we might all get to see each other.
This is going to be so much fun, its like a slumber party but on bikes.

Recumbent Dart riders are dropping like flies. I'm still waiting for some replies, but it looks like there will be no more than one recumbent team. The team name is Dart Vader. I'm the captain. The ride will start at 6:30 am on the 16th at Lynn Creek Marina. There will be a dinner at the Oasis right after the ride finishes at 6:30 pm. One member from each Dart team is required to attend. I plan on being there, so our team is covered.

Creating a route proved more difficult than I had imagined. There are so many county roads south of here that are gravel, now (I wouldn't want to ride Rio Vista Rumble on road tires right now). But I've submitted a route that I think will be fun. I'll probably submit it as a permanent after the Dart. It's called Itasca Disasta. There will be hills (it goes up Orphan Hill backwards, and that's not the highest point on the route), boulder seal, and stretches that really catch the wind, everything we like on a Texas ride.

I'll notify everyone who the team members are as soon as I get that finalized.
