Yeah... Im glad they did cancel it.

They should've just postponed or rescheduled though. It sucks that they just say... oh well. And it sucks that they were still letting people sign up. I mean... I know its a donation, but still... for some people its an event.

Who told them specifically that we weren't going to be there?

I have to say that I will be unimpressed with the Newman Center if they don't cancel this race.  It's dangerous for inexperienced riders, which is most of the peloton.

Squad... I realize the weather looks bleak at this point.

I'm expecting most of the snow to remain east of us and the route. Even still when you wake up it MAY still be snowing. Be patient. The precip will be dissipating right up to early AM like... between 7-9am. So show up anyways... make it a gametime decision if you're on the fence.

I've not done it before though so I don't know what the trucking system is like.

It's usually a semi-trailer (at least it's not a flatbed).  Not the best environment if you have a nice bike.

Reminds me I need to figure that out since my girlfriend and I will both be riding this year.

At the moment, I know that I, Cuervo, and Nathan will be competing from the club, and we'd welcome anyone else to come along and represent.

You can add me to that list... I won't be traveling to Iowa with the team that weekend.

Our club team will be riding in it. Its for a great cause... you should stop on out.

I think they're going to be busing people back. They usually truck the bikes back. If at all possible, setup ride arrangements to prevent having to toss ur bike in with the rest. I've not done it before though so I don't know what the trucking system is like.

I split this so it doesn't get confused with the group rides thread.

The link with official information is here:  http://www.und.edu/dept/newman/race.htm

The actual purpose of the race is to a) beat the group of riders from NDSU (organized by the Newman Center there) and b) raise money for charity.  The breakdown in points can be seen here.  When all is said and done, it's for charity, so get your friends and family to lay down a couple bucks so you can go throw down and beat NDSU.

At the moment, I know that I, Cuervo, Guardrail, and Nathan will be competing from the club, and we'd welcome anyone else to come along and represent.

Yeah, I don't even like alcohol Cuervo.  Rock on about riding though!!  This week may be pretty full with switching the shop over, but I'll let you know when I know more.  I'm thinking Thursday evening perhaps.  Maybe even Wednesday, but I don't remember if I'm scheduled to work or not.  Peace out and good luck.  Main strategy: beat everyone else!   I know, it's brilliant.

Im going to try and get Isaac or their race promoter on here this week!

I've been explaining that we're a SERIOUSLY untapped resource when it comes to this.
