SSTwin Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Hey Bernie (and all you FART team members), I can finally get excited about "blasting off" to FART. Been away (and bike less) for the last 3 weeks and finally I can think "two wheels". Getting the NAV V issues looked at tomorrow and heading out Thursday AM. See you all Thursday night along with brother Frank. Although we're twins, he's the "fill in the blank" one, and I'm the opposite, of course. Please be kind, at least to me! Excited, see you all soon! Link to comment
Bernie Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Hey Steve, looking forward to seeing Frank again, been a while. And of course good to see you too. Link to comment
Kinsley Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Although we're twins, he's the "fill in the blank" one, and I'm the opposite, of course. I was told Frank was good looking and funny...are you the opposite Link to comment
marcopolo Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Mark - I'll add to the Canadian contingent on Thursday night when I arrive. We have to stick together, especially when there are people like Matt out there making fun of our beer...... Exactly, Jim. How dare he? Link to comment

Fivestar13 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I am getting pumped. Wish I was doing the whole Wednesday to Sunday gig. Totally too much riding in the area to cram into 24-48 hours. I just cannot get enough or ride enough no matter how much I venture into Western Carolina and East Tennessee, and that is lots. Kind of like going to Disneyland/WDW. Too much to really get it all in without feeling the need for a post-vacation vacation. Mercy. Link to comment
jbr7t Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Alright Tuesday. Let's get this done so it will be Wednesday so I can work a short day and get ready to leave Thursday morning! Link to comment

Glenn Reed Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Ya think you got that big enough, Glenn? I noticed that, but didn't want to go through the process of downloading the file, resizing it, uploading it to my PhotoBucket account, and posting that link. Call me lazy... At least I'm consistent, just ask Shawn about the time I copied and pasted a calculated number from Google and it had more digits to the right of the decimal place than he thought necessary.

Fathom Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Hey now Matt -- let's do our best to play nice with the cyclists. After all, some of us are them, too! If they're particularly snooty or whiney, you should feel free to thumb your nose at them. Mooning is also acceptable non-verbal commentary, but can be a tough trick when you're ATGATT. I guess just know they're there & be aware -- they do have the right of way... even in North Carolina! Link to comment
Glenn Reed Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 You mean you weren't involved in this too? Nope, I wasn't involved in that effort, but in HS, I actually thought it was cool that I could memorize Pi to 15 or so digits. Geek, geek, geek, geek. Link to comment

I guess just know they're there & be aware -- they do have the right of way... even in North Carolina! But the right of way is often interpreted as I can do anything I want; ride 5 abreast, pass one another, and do so going uphill at a quarter of the speed of the speed limit. So, yes ... that's annoying and completely dangerous in that passive-agressive way. The point isn't to applaud them, to make nice, or to root for them ... but is instead to look out for them as a moving hazard ... whilst we pass them on a two-line pass! Link to comment

Foot Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Decisions, decisions. I think I have 1-1.5K left in my front tire. I usually ride 1-1.2K at the FART. Question is to change and play it safe or be like some and end up with a bald tire on the way home. No brainer I will change it. Link to comment
