It's very nice, by the way.

The minimum number of bikes one should own is three.  The correct number is n+1, where n is the number of bikes currently owned.  This equation may also be re-written as s-1, where s is the number of bikes owned that would result in separation from your partner.

I believe Amber is going to come as well, so we will most likely bring her track. It's going to be easier to transport some bikes.

These are the posts from Mario I love because of the mystery: did he mean "Trek", which means she's going to bring a bike and ride, or did he mean "truck," which could carry all the bicycles but not the people.  It's entirely possible that in referring to Amber he means she's as powerful as a freight train, in which case she really is going to bring her "track" and dust the competition.  I'm pulling for the latter.

When and what time are people planning on leaving? I'm fielding calls left and right from schools that are pissed because they're just finding out about this now... its making my day... "fun".

We also have ZERO time to be playing games with people. Somebody, needs to sort out the medals. We need to make them tonight. So, we need to go get us some casettes tonight. Or figure something out. Frankly... I'm pretty sick and tired of the "someone else will handle it attitude". You know who you are.

My plan is today after the ride, go to the bike graveyard and see if there are any cassettes there. Get them. Clean them. (maybe paint them) and then get some ribbon from wal-mart. And make "metals" lol.

Which bike graveyard are you going to?  The parking garage downtown is cleaned out.

I have a couple old cassettes (or cogsets, hmm) in my office if you need them (one of these days I'll learn to tell the difference).

NM, New Ted says they're cogsets.

One of the parking garages downtown. Its not official, it just seems that alot of people rode bikes there, and then walked home or something? So there's a buncha crappy bikes just chillin there.

For the record though, parts being taken off of those bicycles is still stealing.

Between what Chad brought and what I found we have 15 medals, or 5 sets , if you prefer. I sandblasted around six of them , I think, but the one that Chad brought did not need blasting, cause they were pretty shiny. They just need some polishing and such. I fI remember it right, we need 27 medals, or 9 sets.

The minimum number of bikes one should own is three.  The correct number is n+1, where n is the number of bikes currently owned.  This equation may also be re-written as s-1, where s is the number of bikes owned that would result in separation from your partner.

Logan, don't worry about it. Just get your flights done if you can.

For those that are going, lets plan to leave around 4, or shortly after. Dave, what time is your flight. Is 4 OK with you? We are taking Amber's TRUCK, so we can load the bikes on the back. If you could just get the bikes to our place, we can go form there. Ted, our place is 3605 Manitoba Ave, which is the first gray building behind Stomping Grounds coffee shop located by University. you can call me (307)851-4555 or Dave if you have problems finding the place. Questions? Post it here.

I'll work my way on over, but I assume I'll have a fairly large bag, since it includes a tent sleeping bag and other camping gear. I'd probably have to bring my trailer over and leave it there? unless someone could just pick me up on the way out of town? I live 1.4 mi – about 6 mins at 1803 University Ave.
