In.

Gonna have to dust off the ol' 29er. Haven't rode anything but a fat bike since Moab.

TT's are always a great time.

Russhole is going to swamp everyone with his fancy new hardtail.

I wish. Can't wait to see how it stacks up to the Stump Jumper. I'm gonna ride both.

[Augustice]

In I hope! Test out these new wheels.

[jJohnson]

I'll be working. Hopefully I can buzz over for the night ride, though.

THANKS to all for organizing/putting this together. IMHO while the AccuTime GPS collars we had to wear were an "improvement", maybe a bit over the top. Mine was defective, everytime I cornered left and got more than 10 degrees from center it shocked me and forced my right arm into a hiel hitler and I'd dribble. And all the year-end dough the club had to dispense will make xmas mo' better. Its great that got 17th place overall and rode away with $350 purse. The guy that got 1st and the $5K plus new water bottle was impressive (fastest unicyclist I've seen IN MY LIFE!). Good times, good peeps, THANKS again to those behind the scenes that make great things happen.

Do it. These things are good fun.

it looks like the letters got flipped.

I had originally typed this in caps. I'm surprised I didn't see it. When it was submitted it went to lower case automatically.

Have Fun Drink Beer Time Trial though it looks like the letters got flipped.

Are we still on for this tomorrow even with the chilly weather? I will be there around 2 to get warmed up!

[badfish41]

TT is still as planned. Gonna be cold, but Kickapoo up will warm you up fast.

[Russhole]

Trail is all cleaned up (where needed) except for a tree down on Farmdale loop. I'll cut it up tomorrow for fire wood. If anyone can bring fire wood, please post up. I'll bring some charcoal to get things started. Can't wait to ride...

[Carve]

I have wood, I carry it with me everywhere I go.

To be asked "Do you know what time you started?" is a very hard question to answer when you aren't holding a stop watch in one hand when you are getting ready to race. Let the competence of the time keeper be real.

[mcwrath]

HA! That is the essence of HFDB!

I have to assume this is yet another digg at me since until today I'm the only one who's ever timed the HFDBTT, which is cool because I do my best to partake in the HF and DB part, so I try not to let those that want to complain (which incidentally has also only been one person, ever) get to me. By the way: I tell everyone what time they are starting when they are at the line.

I'm tired of you using our website as a forum to insult me and the club that works their ass off to provide you with singletrack to ride in the Quad Cities. If you don't like us for whatever reason, fine, stop coming here and don't come to events. In other posts you've accused us of acting like high schoolers. Aren't you the guy that wanted to fight me because I got your time wrong, even though I eventually figured out where I made the mistake and corrected it? Aren't you the guy that stormed out of the park before the membership forms showed up, only to later say that "you've tried several times to give us your money....". I suck at psychology almost as much as I suck at timing TTs, but I don't think the problem is with this club.

[jimithng23]

Weird. I've been doing HFDB TTs for years, never had a problem with the timer's apparent lack of competence.

[jimithng23]

really bummed I'm gonna miss this one.........

[Vittetoe761]

Thanks for setting everything up guys...I had a great time!

[Tigris99]

Sorry I missed this couldn't get anyone to switch shifts with me.... Much rather have been trying to get a R.W.I than working tonight here.

It was great meeting everyone today! I have pictures up on my Facebook page; unfortunately, I've forgotten almost everyone's name already (I'm 6'8" and have hit my head in doorways too many times... ;-) ) so please tag yourself or let me know who's in the picture in the comments!
