I might be down for that. That would give me like 5 months to train.
Team POR-

Sirachi · 12-17-2002, 10:59 PM

I don't exactly have a XC bike... but if it doesn't get in the way of my school schedule, maybe I'll come out if you guys need a person.

Leonel · 12-18-2002, 12:11 AM

Besides riders we will also need a support group .

Genshie · 12-18-2002, 06:13 AM

Leonel,

I am game. I haven't raced in over 2 years, but that is good because I will be rabid as hell and ready to rip it up. I need to drop about 15 lbs first, but that shouldn't be a problem. I have a neighbor who is a solid rider who also might be interested if you need another.

Kurt G.

Leonel · 12-18-2002, 08:53 AM

Cool ! looks like we have a POR team. Do you guys want to do a ride late next week to meet,discuss things and see where we are in fitness and what we need to do?

vova · 12-18-2002, 10:05 AM

I'm in VA for X-mas DEc 22-29th. After that I'm ready to ride

Genshie · 12-18-2002, 11:15 AM

Me too. I am back on the 29th in the evening. I say we plan to do a ride on new years day. Nice informal one and then go get some food and talk about the game plan. Whaddya think?

And this time you are coming to the South Bay, vato!

Kurt

Genshie · 12-18-2002, 11:26 AM

oh yea,

When we get to the race, we all have to drive our rigs. Then we will park at the campsite with our trucks wheelstanding on each other.

People will be freakin' out. That will be tight. The outlaws of MTB racing. We can have a team trailer with 44" boggers!

Kurt.

dirtdirt99 · 12-18-2002, 12:50 PM

ya im down for a ride new years if im not skiing

YellowSub1962 · 12-18-2002, 07:15 PM

unless you're all members of the Pirates of the Rubicon 4 wheel drive club (POR), you might want to change it to PBB or you're asking for trouble.... also I would talk to Lance and the Pirates first about a PBB team (unless you already have) since they own the domain

If they goes for it, they might even be able to get you some sponsors or something....

just my $.015

Leonel · 12-18-2002, 07:41 PM

I figured we get the Team together and come up with a game plan before we talked to Lance and prospective sponsors, POR jerseys and bibs with the skull will be really nice!

i might just get a hot shower installed in the truck before the race!

dirtdirt99 · 12-18-2002, 08:50 PM

so if we ride where would it be... south bay is a ways from me (richmond, east bay)

Leonel · 12-18-2002, 09:20 PM

I'm OK with the Marin Headlands but I don't know about the others!

vova · 12-18-2002, 09:52 PM

My vote is for Skaggs

Genshie · 12-19-2002, 06:22 AM

HELL YEAAHHH Skeggs is the best in the bay area hands down. And it is fairly centrally located in San Mateo area.

I vote Skeggs.

Leonel · 12-19-2002, 07:25 AM

The headlands is a better workout as there is a lot more climbing and you can make the ride as long as you want but Skeggs will work for our first team ride .
Everyone OK with this?

Sirachi · 12-19-2002, 08:16 AM

When will you guys be riding?

Yes that is fine with me. If someone could pm me an address so i can pull up a map that would kick ass. And the time to meet is...

There is plently of climbing at Skeggs. We can park at the end of Porcha trail and start out with a climb to the top

Genshie · 12-19-2002, 12:18 PM

Leonel,

I know you are a mountain goat and all, but I am sure you will find that Skeggs has more than enough climbing than any hardtail, skinny tire, singlespeed, weenie can handle

How about new years day at 10AM? This should give everyone enough time to wake up and recover from the night before.
