Dose anyone plan to do the Single Speed Race??? I would do it but would need to borrow a Single Speed and come up with the required costume. The costume is not a problem but the bike is...

I plan to do the singlespeed race, possible in Viking outfit, on my monkey bike... So you could probably use my mtb for the race.
If you haven't seen the monkey bike, it has about 6 inch wheels... Like sobething out of a circus...

Yeah, i'll have the monkey bike there from tge start.. I plan to issue monkey bije challenges... Sone combination of laps on tge monkey bike, and beer drinking!

When is the SS race? Are they going to throw them in a pile at the start? That would determine which SS I use.

I believe it is earlier in the day on SAT, but 'Race' is really not the best descriptor. It is several laps around tge track, wearing a stupid costume... More of a gag/exhibition than a race.

Yah they do pile them up but I think they only pick on people they know. It's still not a good idea to bring a pretty bike.

One week to "Game Time"!!!  Doing my 12oz curls as I type...

Jonesy: Phaty said charcoal is out but GAS is alright...

I'm guessing a full-on bon-fire is probably out of the question as well...

Bobby: Two questions:
With your shoulder, you're nit going to be riding again by SIS are you?
Also, i'll take you up on tge offer of the gas grill if you're still offering. When's a good time to get it?

Mark, if you wanna bring a propane bottle in case, that'd be a good idea...

I will throw in some cash for gas for the grill. So long as I can use it too.

All riders, you need to fill it out and bring it with you [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Thanks, Steve. I guess the injury list last year forced SiS to go lawyerese on us. I prefer Der Schwur...

if I recall I had to fill one of these out back in 2010.

I remember thinking how much it sucked for that guy hitting the tree and breaking his jaw at SiS last year. Little did I know my fate three months later would be to find out exactly what he felt.

The army just called and said "You haven't retired just yet, we're going to screw you out of SIS one last time."
My participation just got canceled.
Sorry folks.
I may stop by and say hi Friday evening or Saturday sone time, but won't be there for the race itself, and don't feel like doing the campout if I can't ride.

Was that the guy from  Big Wheel Racing, Michael Cleveland, who broke his jaw when his bike frame snapped?

Jonesy, is there anyway we can borrow your grill???

@ Justin, the guy wasn't from BWR'ing but his story is on the SiS website...you may have to go back a few months to find it...

Here it is:

Mark,
I have a gas grill w/propane that we can use this weekend. Only stipulation is that someone needs to pick it up and bring it out there. I don't have a vehicle that can haul it out there. If John has room in his man van, maybe he can take it out there. It is not a fancy grill by any means but I would say perfect for its purposes this weekend.

I will send you an email but I figured I would post something so other could see that the grill is covered.

Perfect...can you all me to arange pick up...

I won't be there. I can't be that close to biking and not ride, and I can't ride. I can barely lift my arm.

There's a unicycle on Ramstein yard sale.

Site setup is complete!!! Just wanted to clarify the entry fee is 40€ for the weekend and not what was stated previous, sorry for the confusion. Big THX to Brian for the use of his gas grill...it's a big hit already. See y'all out there for a fun filled Biking weekend!!!

I will be out in the morning (Saturday).
