Little Red Riding Hood-Utah

[ljkl]

i'm riding, probably metric. my husbands serving lunch. i too, worked the early pick-up(handing out tee shirts). we are heading up from slc friday afternoon.

For those of you trying to decide metric or 100, remember that the 100 milers have a 20 mile loop up into Idaho from the lunch stop. They go through Lewiston, UT (the lunch stop) twice, so it is very easy to do an 80 mile loop. If you decide 62 is too little, 100 is too big, 80 may be ju-ust right. Oh wait, wrong fairy tale.

Thanks for this really great info. I went ahead and printed this out and will tuck it into my bike bag, just-in-case. Thanks!

Okiedokie - let's hope in my scatterbrained condition, I got all of the updates right. If I didn't, just copy the list, open a reply to the post, copy the list, and make the changes on the list and submit post.

I won't be able to make changes myself b/c I have lots to do to get ready to go.


We are wearing red on our wrists- bracelet, ponytail holder, ribbon, whatever works in a pinch.

I will have a BRIGHT ORANGE poster board sign somewhere with Team Estrogen written on it. Might tape it to a tree or something. I will bring it on Friday for the party and on Saturday as well.

We (or should I say I ) don't have to be present to win the bike. There are tickets in our registration packets and we can buy more tickets at the event.

I will see you there! I am so excited and chicken at the same time

Is anyone camping? I decided to come up for the bash and sleep in my suv that night. I found a spot, but it would be nice to be near some fellow TE'ers. This is a new thing for me, I love to camp, but never slept in my car.

Ok I am completely offended - SBCTwin was the only one that said hi to me tonight at the packet pickup. Alex, yellow? No hello - I feel slighted. Ok, just kidding. I was crazy busy. But how smooth and easy was that packet pickup- right?

I guess I missed that you would be working it. I just got my packets and ran off. Had the dogs in the car and needed to go pick up the rest of my gear from the White Rim trip at my friend's house. Yes, it was nice to be able to get everything yesterday and not deal with the madness Sat am.

Jen, I'm pretty sure CyclaSutra will be camping. She is a ton of fun to hang out with. Send her a PM!

Is anyone coming back to SLC to hang out after the ride? Or are you all going home? I'm thinking a trip to Red Rock or Squatters or something might be in order if anyone will be around!

[Alex]

Sorry, Sulis. I didn't know you were working at check-in, or I would certainly have said hello. I was there about 8:30 and no one was in line! I zipped in and zipped out.

Alex

[Trekhawk]

Have a great ride everyone. Im so disappointed that I had to cancel. Enjoy a drink or two for me and photos please.

[sulis]

Sorry, Sulis. I didn't know you were working at check-in, or I would certainly have said hello. I was there about 8:30 and no one was in line! I zipped in and zipped out.

Alex

No worries yellow and Alex - I was only teasing. For all we know, I was the one that helped you!

[sulis]

We (or should I say I ) don't have to be present to win the bike. There are tickets in our registration packets and we can buy more tickets at the event.

Wait! I'm confused. Didn't we take a unanimous vote in my head that I would win the bike?

[yellow]

For all we know, I was the one that helped you!

Definitely not, unless you've aged about 30 years! (Not that aging is a bad thing, but the wonderful woman that helped me was most definitely not you!)

Oh! And if I win the bike we can discuss barter arrangements.

I am sitting in the lobby of the Crystal Inn so I will make this brief. Went to packet pick up today in Wellsville, haven't been on the computer since Thursday so just found out when I got to Wellsville about the bracelet thing. Didn't see anyone even vaguely familier.

Sulis- I will try to find you in the AM. The most outlying tent seemed to be the LRRH boutique so I will look there. There is no need to reply to this message as I won't be able to check again until after the ride.

Hope to see many of you there.

Jones

PS sorry no spell check
