CROC Ride

[Aint Doody]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! I'm soooo excited.....

[Sprocket's Mom]

AD- My friend wants a promise that it won't be windy!! Hahahahaha!!! I figure worst case scenario there will be enough of us there for a regular old paceline.
Do you happen to know how close they are to filling all the spots? I told her to get her registration in ASAP!!!!

[Aint Doody]

Oh, we have only tail winds in Eastern Oregon!!! As of today we have 175, and our limit is 250, but the registrations are starting to come in faster. We were full last year, and our registrar says we're about 20 riders ahead of where we were this time last year. Sooooo--tell her to get on the ball.

If any of y'all are sitting on the fence trying to decide whether or not to come to the CROC, you need to get down off that fence! We're filling up. We have only about 30 spaces left. The weather is improving daily. Don't miss out! Sign up online at www.cyclependleton.com It's a great ride. You can see me at the White Trash SAG Stop where I'll be serving cheese grits and other wonderful delicacies from below the Mason-Dixon Line.

Our registration has closed. We have 250 riders, and the weatherman has promised ideal cycling weather. Surely glad it wasn't last week-end; it was HOT, HOT, HOT!!! It's supposed to be in the 70's for the Memorial Day Week-end! I'll see all y'all who are joining us for this super-fun ride on Fri. I'll be working at the registration table. And if you do the 100 miles the first day, I'll be the platinum-blonde floozy at the White Trash SAG stop at Hat Rock.

Should we have a TE banner somewhere? Do we have anyone who has a TE hat or something?

I could wear my Amici Veloci jersey, do you guys have one too?

Surely glad it wasn't last week-end; it was HOT, HOT, HOT!!!

I'll say. I was crewing for some riders training out in the John Day area.

I think we should make up a TE get together plan. I don't have anything to specifically ID me as TE so we'll have to pick a place to meet or something,

[Aint Doody]

Let's seeeeeeeee. I'll be checking in people at the regis. desk. I'm brunette with a Southern accent. (That makes me pretty easy to pick out.) Registration/reception goes from 5 until 8 pm. What if we meet at the regis. desk at 7 pm? I would imagine that by then I'd be able to shake free. Or if this fails, we could meet on Sat. evening at the pre-dinner function. Dinner is at 6 pm, but the room will be open at 5 pm, I think. Yeah--this sounds good--let's meet at the bar at 5:30 pm. I'm thinking the bar they will have set up for cyclists in the banquet room--not the lounge.

Anyhow, I'll be at both places. It'll be fun to get to finally meet y'all. I've met Bad JuJu and Harley at other places. I want to see Bikerhen's tattoo in the flesh. She was the inspiration for our croc mascot. Wait til y'all get the cool stuff in the bags. We stuffed them last night. And I'm really pumped up about the weather forecast. I surely hope it holds. It's raining today, which is a good thing.

And y'all will love our SAG stops. Now, if we can just get ODOT to sweep the bike lanes, but that's another long story.

Dang! Wish we were doing the hundred! But I think we'll be hard pressed doing the metric ride each day. Maybe you should stay in costume for our meeting in the bar saturday night?

It looks like Eastern Washington is gearing up for it's usual dreary Memorial Day weekend. I'm expecting the sun to be shining in Oregon. We can't leave Spokane until about four. I'm thinking about 3ish hours to get there? Hope we won't miss the party. bikerHen

You should be here before the party ends. It goes til 8 pm. I'll still be there waiting for you! I dunno about wearing my floozy outfit to the dinner. I might do it, but I ain't promisin' nuthin.'
