Well, you know I've been wanting to it for a while.  Should be much better on the X.  Put me down for 75% sure I'll go.  Where are you going?

I won't be doing this one because I'm planing on Phoniex and Vagas the last week of Sept and the first week of Oct. Thanks for posting this site cause in the reading of the articial there was a spot that has 25 tips for long distant runs that are very helpful. I've done many trips and some of the tips I knew and some I never thought about. If you or anybodyelse going along hasn't read that section, then you should. It's kinda lengthly but well worth the read. As far as your ride goes, good luck and ride safe.

What I do today is very important because
I traded a day of my life for it.

Whatever you want to do, do it now.

Hey, I lived with Trent for a year and a half, I'm pretty sure I handle following him for 1500 miles.  And yes, I know he's crazy.  But if he's going, so am I.

I won't be doing this one.
We all know you're such a hardass you'd have too much fun and "spoil" the extreme hardship aspect of the ride for everyone else anyway, Al! ;D
