Interesting...you'll be passing right by the biggest MOB party of the year:

I know a lot of people from the party are planning on riding Sunday. maybe incorporate that into your ride?

[Spidey]

Uh, Joe, do you really want to invite all of BARF over to Dave & Paula's?!?     Mebbe you should check with them first.

Thanks for the invite, sick50ford, but I can't make it.   AFM races & MOB party.

BARF? They'd just crash in the first set of descending radius turns...

Actually, I debated that. And the fact that they posted it on a public forum that even BARF riders can read played into it. Plus I merely suggested that he join up with our ride. How's that for lawyerly interpretation?

[sick50ford]

thanks for the invite! don't worry, not all of barf will show up, just the elitist!

i see info on the party but nothing posted about a ride.

It was kind of buried:

We'll essentially be gathering Friday night on through Saturday, at which point things should get into full swing. Sunday morning we'll wake up and fight off the hangovers with hair of the dog and bacon, ideally followed by a ride.

Gear is encouraged for the rides.

PM one of us for more info.

I'm not sure people can make good plans when drinking

Tell you what...I'll PM you my cell. Ring me when you're about to roll, and I'll see how many people are conscious.

Does your cell get signal at our house?

It did last weekend.

I'm headed up to the races on Sunday a.m. and planning on doing a ride on Saturday to Somechick+Somedick's place.  No time for another ride to squeeze in there!

DQ, who is your carrier? We`ve tried AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, no luck on any of those.

I have AT&T. But it's an iPhone so it's sort of like Chuck Norris. The radio signal doesn't bend around the mountains, the iPhone scares the mountains into getting out of the way

Were you able to get a voice call or just SMS?

I recall doing SMS, but I was busy trying to jury rig my radiator hose so I could make it home. My memory may be IZ_

I think my T-Mobile got signal there when I was helping you guys move in. I'll have to test it next time.
Did you guys get a land line at the house?
