The Tip Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 It was confusing using the original thread so I thought I should start one for this year's event. May 20- 22, 2022 That's Friday through Sunday. It was a great fun the last time. That's why it got booked up very quickly when it was decided to do this. If you are interested in tent camping, say something, and certainly one of the RV reserved spot people will offer you space on their spot.. There is plenty of room on these sites. if you are interested in an RV space, say something, as some extra back up spaces have been reserved just for you. I know I have an extra one just waiting for someone to claim. And of course you can just make a day of it. Come out to ride then stay for the campfire comradery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 So yeah. Is this still on anyone's radar? Tent camping at these temps isn't going to be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tip Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 Yes, it's a thang still. Cold showers. Cold beer. Easy I have an extra site still booked if anyone wants an RV spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRIDER Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 (edited) I've got an RV spot reserved for the weekend, but have to travel Sunday afternoon. Might just show up Saturday morning, ride for a few hours and hang out afterwards for a bit. @The Tip, About what time were you planning on riding Saturday morning and for about how long?

The Tip Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 I'm thinking 9 am. Early enough to beat the heat, but late enough for folks just coming for the day to make it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Any local group leaders this time? Or free for all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tip Posted May 18 Author Share Posted May 18 Are we not educated now? I could post up on the Dana Peak Facebook page to recruit some folks though if you think it would help. They were very proud of their place and were happy to lead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 (edited) For sure I know my way around. It's certainly not necessary. I was just curious about the plan. Edited May 18 by Barry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there will be a few ride leaders that some of us can actually keep up with 😁 Anyway it goes though, I could find my way around if I had to. Hoping to at least get up their Sun morning when the temps are supposed to be a bit cooler. From what I remember being there last year, the trails will probably be OK with some scattered rain, which appears to be in the forecast for this weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we all wanted the single speeders to keep up and keep the group together, but that first few miles is quite flat. Basically everyone was going to drop. I was on his ass for a bit (I was in 2000% better shape last year (according to Strava and my recent feel-like-I'm-going-to-die efforts), but I decided to reel him in by letting him gap me. It was working reasonably well and he was dialing back some, but then he had an unrecoverable flat. And then the ride sweep on an e-bike tried to lead the ride but that didn't work for more than 10 minutes. That all happened in about 3 miles. And then I led the group for another 17 miles, and even managed to sniff out a bunch of the new east end stuff. I will not be leading an "A" group this year! 19 minutes ago, throet said: the trails will probably be OK with some scattered rain, which appears to be in the forecast for this weekend. In the northeast I was comfortable driving for several hours under 30% chance of rain. But it seems that in Texas a 30% chance of rain usually means "It's gon' rain!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tip Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 Another great success! Thanks Barry for leading the fast group. Y'all really did do almost all of it. And by the way, it didn't rain a drop Saturday night. It blew like crazy again though so probably smart move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
