Vlad, I believe Tway is working on a lease/rental program for timerless peoples. There is certainly a need for it.TK

Posted: **Thu Feb 20, 2003 2:55 pm**

No Vlad, I will be there tonight. Traffic has been very bad the last few days, So I may be a little late.

Did anyone make it to the Vans park last night? My driveway was almost clear enough for me to leave for Vans, but the tractor that was clearing the snow got broken. I was stuck there and pssd off because of it. I want to ride so badly.

Tonight's session might not happen. I'll be watching the weather channel all day long (with a 24-hour Gieco typ'o cup o' coffe) and follow "the latest developments in the massive snow storm" that just hit DC again. I'm "staying tuned" and "bringing you the latest news"… "we'll keep you posted every hour, 10 to the hour, right here", on ss.com TV.

_______________________________________
It might not be so bad tonight. Maybe a "race"?

Still staying tuned...after all these years....

I'm going to the park tonight if it's open. How about you, Vlad? My regular Wednesday night was cancelled, and Thurday night looks like a foot of whet stuff.

I found out that it will be open for 9-11 tonight. Them's good dudes.

Fellow DC racers. You know who you are.

A ticket to Ricky Byrds race in Mississippi is going for $133 out of BWI on Southwest. It leaves either on Friday the 11th or Saturday the day of the race and returning on Sunday. At this price there should be no excuse not to go. We can also split a hotel room to save $$. So far myself, Noah and Kenny are going.

Posted: **Sun Mar 02, 2003 7:41 pm**

Mike, is that the price for a round trip ticket?

Posted: **Mon Mar 03, 2003 8:39 pm**

Round trip.

Mike, Where on the Southwest Airlines website are the $130 round-trip deals? The $130 fare I see is for each way.

Posted: **Thu Mar 06, 2003 10:07 pm**

Who’s up for slalom at Vans tonight? Slappy has Brian’s timer and he said he would bring it (right Slapp?). I’ll be riding the actual park tomorrow night with Cabbage.

I had my nights mixed up. I've got tix for a show at the 9:30 club tonight! I can drop the timer off before I go. Wes what time will you be there?

Vlad, any intel on the Outlaw race tomorrow?
Can't make Vans tonight, sorry.

TOMORROW. Saturday, March 8.

The weather's supposed to be pretty nice, and having never been plowed into piles, I'm thinking The Gathering Site might be thawed out. Unfortunately, I no longer have a car to run over there and check in the morning.

Anyway... if I can get over there, and it is both clear and unoccupied (I can't imagine that it's been rented) I''ll be riding.

There are a number of things we need to find out about that place. I'd like to try to see if we can get a dual TS on the Main Hill, and I'm also going to re-confirm my recollection that a slight adjustment to the Ncdsa.com Cyber Slalom Cup course site will put us in a more level spot than last year.

IMPORTANT! If The Gathering Site is clear, unoccupied AND we want to use it without paying rent, we may do so, but we cannot drive in or park our cars at the gate of the area. The two best parking options for that area are either to park in the lot on the left just before you get to the ticket booth or drive in and past the entrance to the Cardinal area. After passing that entrance, take the next left and there is a parking lot immediately on the right.

There is a chance I may be able to find a way to get over there early tomorrow a.m. to check the conditions. If I do and the news is good, I'll try to have it posted here by no later than 8 a.m.

I think several people are going to be at G-P&R today no matter what. The only one that I know the mobile phone number of is PA Dan - not answering. Right now, I don't know who has the timer, Vlad or Slappy. I think it might be Vlad - no answer though and Slappy is a busy signal, with no answer on cell fone.

Posted: **Sat Mar 08, 2003 7:35 pm**

Dan & Mithc are at P&R. Snow melt runnoff is wetting course there. I'm going to check out Battlefield and BullRun. Will call people to update about them and to find out what's up.

Out of the loop Saturday. Checked Walker this morning. Runoff and enough sand to make a beach. Did anyone check Bull Run? Anyone for a Sunday session somewhere?

Posted: **Sun Mar 09, 2003 6:16 pm**

GeezerX call me. 703-930-1044

Posted: **Sun Mar 09, 2003 10:25 pm**

I would have ridden with you, Mike, but I have been away from the internet all day. I did in fact check out BullRunn - pavement is totally dry and no salt, and apparently no additional damage from trucks either. Places off limits to vehicles are a blessing. Unfortunately, the wind was too much today. I then went to Fountainhead and rode wind-free, but the snow to the right of the pavement, down the embankment, was deep enough to cover your feet. If a struck cone flies down there, your shoes get all wet.

I am considering riding Vans tonight. Anyone else interested in a park session. No cyber slalom for me. My plan is to hit the hills on Saturday.

Posted: **Thu Mar 13, 2003 7:39 pm**

bye-bye

Posted: **Thu Mar 13, 2003 9:33 pm**

No need Vlad. Actually I have decided to pass on the Vans session tonight and try to get caught up with work.

We will slalom on Saturday the weather looks great.

Posted: **Thu Mar 13, 2003 10:29 pm**

I can not beleive we are passing on skating to work. We must be sick.

Posted: **Thu Mar 13, 2003 10:50 pm**

Brian, if you are having third thoughts on riding Vans tonight, I will be there. I was just about to post that I would be there. Not going to if I'm the only one.

Posted: **Thu Mar 13, 2003 11:33 pm**

No session on thursday for me. Looking forward to saturday. Brian, is saturday just a session or will it be an Outlaw race?

Vlad, TK is the equivalent of a drug pusher. He is sending a loaner set to another good racer friend of mine knowing damn well it will hook him into buying more. By the way Monday night was a good high. Looks like I may need to phone TK for a fix.$$$$$$$$$$$

Posted: **Fri Mar 14, 2003 3:39 am**

Cool. Now I'm not jealous of anyone riding tonight.
I can't make Saturday. I've got a freelance gig for an ad agency the next 10 days.

Posted: **Fri Mar 14, 2003 3:46 pm**

I think tomorrow should just be a full on session. No Outlaw points. I apologize for being unorganized this week. I am still recovering and catching up from my vacation. However, I do plan on racing you skinny cyber slalom boys on a hill. So bring it on! I think we should check out the Bull Run special events center. No danger of sand or runoff. And I would like to set some duel or three lane courses.

Andy, if this is not good for you, post up. I know transportation down might still be an issue with you. I can just as easily ride somewhere in Gaithersburg.

If one of you Web savvy guys could post up a map or some directions.

Vald remember the timer.

Let say around eleven or noon.

Posted: **Fri Mar 14, 2003 3:53 pm**

Mike, if you just ride them on the weekends you'll be fine. T

Posted: **Fri Mar 14, 2003 8:34 pm**

TK, weekends is right. I will be working all week just to pay for em. But once your hooked you'll do anything for a fix. Keep an eye on your wallet. Say hi to Sandy for me!

Posted: **Fri Mar 14, 2003 8:35 pm**

Brian, see you at Bull Run. Hope you are up for a good ass kickin.
