    Default Farmdale Fest: Who's Going?

    Zach and I are heading down Friday evening. Who else is planning on going?

    We are going to get the portable fire ring there somehow. The weather looks like it is going to be good, sunny and mid 70s during the day and mid 50s at night. Perfect camping weather.

    I'm headed down Friday afternoon and I think a few others are planning on it as well. A couple dudes I know are showing up Saturday morning.

    If you need it, I could haul the fire ring down in my... err, Lindquist's truck. ;-)

    I have Friday off so just let me know.

    Sixers and I will be there Saturday morning. Just in time to drink PBR and watch the downhill shenanigans and group ride. Sunday morning testing my fat bike racing skills, because an 8 mile race on Sunday morning sounds waaaay better than 15! We should bring a little keg like '11. NBD.

    Hopefully Sixers loads up some hardware for the ride home.

    Can't wait.

    Wish I could be down there on Saturday, but I'll be there Sunday. I'm probably going to race fat bike, too.

    Mielke, I talked to Russ about hauling the fire pit tonight if he comes down on Friday. He wasn't sure if he could make it Fri. so I may hit you up on the offer. I will let you know.

    Heading down Friday afternoon sometime. It's going to be a blast! Don't forget your lights for the night ride on Friday.

    Drew... my ever-so-loose plan is to get down there in time on Friday to setup camp and get a ride in under the sunlight.

    guessin' that puts my take off time around 2-3ish... after that, that's about as rigid of a schedule my weekend is gonna get.

    So, Drew, looks like you may want to car pool after all. If the weather is good for a ride Friday night, i think i'm good for that.

    Sounds like a plan Russ. Think we can still fit the fire pit in your truck with two bikes and gear?

    Me and my friend Rick are planning on going over Saturday, is there going to be a Forc spot for camping or is setup wherever there is space?

    Ann and I will be going down on Friday afternoon sometime.

    That little corner at the end of the dirt jumps worked out pretty well for the last time or we could try to get that whole back area if we're expecting a lot more people. It's usually taken pretty quickly by another large group but it is first come first serve.

    Sounds like we are going to have 15+ people going. That spot in the back corner has worked out well in the past and should have plenty of room.

    Experiencing the world through second hand information isn’t enough. If we want authenticity we have to initiate it. We will never know our full potential unless we push ourselves to find it.

    I'll be racing on Sunday - per the race predictor, it should be a good one

    I love the race predictor. It's so full of crap... if I were to register for the fat bike class today it would say I'd beat Jake. Ha. Haha. Hahaha. I'll probably register tomorrow.
