What distance? I need to make sure I'm available to ride, but I was thinking about it since I had to miss it last year.

[RoverDave]

I am signed up for the 50 but I am up for whatever.

The course will be clearly marketed, q sheets will be provided, the ride will have SAG support plus rest stops & lunch from Moe's SW will be be provide for riders. We're having a swap meet this year too. Come celebrate cycling!

I pulled the cue sheet from the Jimmy V site and it was obvious that the font they chose wasn't going to work for my middle age eyes. So, I copied the details into a word document and biggie sized them to a larger font. For anyone else in the same boat, I attached it.

Note, the blank line after the second rest stop is intentional, it's for folding.

Chuck started a Slow Spokes team for the Jimmy V ride. The information was in another thread, so I thought I'd mention it here in case anyone wants to join us.

So far it's just me, Chuck and Dave signed-up on the team page. I believe that if you are already registered, you can also link-up your registration to the team page. Or you could just find us there and ride the 50 with us. Any takers???

[angieM]

Does anyone know how much the registration fee is? I heard it's $50 but not sure; pretty high from last year. Anyway, I'm also contemplating is as well, because of the fee only; spent a lot of money this month on my daughter's sweet 16 party so I have to be very careful with money.

It was $35 until July 31, but now it's $50. Here's the site: http://www.jimmyv.org/caryweek/index.cfm?ei=7

Hey Chuck, thanks for the info. That's what I thought. will have to check my finances; it stinks when $50 can be a big determining factor.

[RoverDave]

hope you can come ride with us!

[Pedro]

Come on join us for a great event!!! The registration fee is $50 from now on and that includes same day registration. The ride registration includes a gift bag (socks, t-shirt, coupons, etc), food and drinks before during and after the ride, and a Moe's catered lunch after the rides. Not to mention the net proceeds go to fund cancer research via the V Foundation for Cancer Research. The will be a no fee swap meet from 1-3P that will allow for sale of your bicycle stuff and purchase of others. You will not want to miss this. Bring the family out also. See you then~~

[Pugslyyy]

this is a good event - i've done it the past couple of years, just didn't sign up this year. well run event, well supported rest stops, and a nice meal after the ride.

[JeffR]

I was torn about riding this because of some work that I need to get done on the house. My bike made the decision for me last night.

My drive side chainstay snapped :eek:27 miles into a 29 mile ride. There is now one less steel bike in the world.:(

Anyone have a 58-60 cm frame they want to sell cheap?

[esther-l]

Scott and I will be there - not riding.
Please stop by the NC Bicycle Club table when you make your way to the food after the ride!

sorry i didn't make it out to the ride Chuck and Andrea, I left my helmet in a car that I borrowed while my truck was in the shop so at 530 am while I was getting ready to head out to the ride I couldn't find it. That's when I remembered where it was along with my bike pump. So needless to say I was and still am not a happy camper. Oh well, a donation of $35 to the Jimmy V is never a bad thing. See you on Tuesday.

[sportingfool]

Dave,
You missed an awesome ride. Temps were just right and the cloud cover was a bonus. I don't know if it was the great weather, the route, something in the water, or whatever...but Chuck and I averaged 18.2 going into the first rest stop and 17.9 going into the second. We took it easy on Tingen after the second stop.

Time: 2:43
Distance: 45.5
Average: 16.8

[g00se04]

102miles/ 17.4 avg I thought the ride had really good support and was well done.

We were wondering where you were. Sorry to hear that. You missed a good ride. As you can see by our pace, Andrea pushed me pretty hard. It'll take a couple days for me to recover.
