2010 T Shirts

I ordered the shirts today. Turn time should be about 10 day or so.

2010 M4 wrap up

I think the ride was a success. We started at 7:07 am. Tim set up a heater and tent for riders to rest at. The Exchange and Pedaler both donated energy packs for riders to use.

The wind was strong and chilly with 30 mph sustained and 50 mph gusts.

2010 Saturday Conditions

The trail is close. The exposed areas are dry, but there are tacky areas under the trees. I couldn't get to the back fence line, but it usually holds water longer. After talking with Marty and looking at the weather, we are going to push the ride back to Thanksgiving day Sunday. It kills me since it is supposed to be 70 tomorrow (global warming, right Bobby?)

But the outlook for next Sunday is 52 degrees, so it will still be a great ride.

Here is the team listing from a week ago. I haven't made any changes. Take a look over and please let me know what changes need made.

2010 Update

Riders,

1. The call on Miller's status will be made Saturday afternoon if there is any rain. The decision will be announced on BikeKansas and M4Ride.blogspot.com

2. I am still awaiting info from the printer on Shirts. I got a late start and it's my fault we are still in the dark. We will have to do shirts after the ride. I'll post more on this site.

3. Each team will need to keep on rider on the trail at all times and no more than one rider. For example, you cannot have a team of 4 ride 5 laps at the same time and finish. Solo riders can stop riding to hit the bathroom or food breaks.

4. Final announcements will be made at the trailhead at 6:50 am. Helmets required. Lights may be needed. Each rider will log each lap on a clipboard. Each team member does not need to be present at the start; only one team member is required to start. Drop your swag on the blanket, go ride your laps, pick your swag choice and you are good to go. Once your team finishes, there is no need to stay until every other team finishes.

5. Be courteous, respectful, and have fun. Allow faster riders to pass.

6. Check in: Come see me at the white 4Runner at the trail head when you get there. I'll check in the first rider so we can start right at 7am without a check in line. I'll be there by 6:30.

2010 Lights

Lights will also be needed. It should be ok in the am with the time change, but that will put us into darkness around 6pm now.

Rain

Looks like it might rain starting Thursday. The trail is dry, so even if we get a day of rain, we might luck out and be able to ride. I'll hit the trail Saturday and hopefully can make the call to hold the ride on Sunday. I'll post findings here and in the BikeKansas email listing.

2010 Ride Details

The ride is on Sunday, the 14th of November 2010 at 7AM

1. The ride is 20 laps long, or 100 miles. This is not a race. No time or placing information will be kept.

2. Riders can ride solo or as part of a team. Teams can be one, two, three, four, or five riders.

3. For team riders, a member must be on the trail at all times. Riders can split the number of laps up amongst themselves as they see fit.

4. At the start/finish there will be a clip board. Each rider will need to log each lap at the start with a slash and then X it off after completion to keep track of the number of laps run.

5. Riders are asked to bring a piece of bike swag for a blanket swap. Each swag is thrown on a blanket and after the teams complete the ride, they can choose a piece from the blanket. Some riders may be under 21, so no beer related swag.

6. Trail opens at 7am and closes at 7pm. Lights will be needed for the last hour or so.

7. Riders are not required to stay at the trail when team mates are on the ride. You are encouraged to make a trip to QT for drinks and food.

8. There is no cost for this ride. It is unsanctioned and unsponsered. It is a show and go. All riders accept responsibliity for themselves and their ride.

9. A T Shirt will be made available. Pricing and design are in the works.

10. Ride limited to 50 riders. Sign up via email at bikeidiot@cox.net. Put "M4 Ride" as your subject line. Please include your team name and team members with email address for all riders.
