36 hrs Ride to Nationals

Ready to "Ride to Nationals"?  Here's the deal:  we are riding our bikes on trainers at the U of A mall for 36hrs in an effort to raise money for Nationals.  (Don't worry, people will be signing up in shifts)  We are also pairing with the American Heart Assocation and donating 25% of the proceeds.

Time:  8am Wed. March 26---8pm Thur. March 27

Location:  U of A Mall

Items Needed:  Bikers, Folding Table, Chairs, Trainers

Time slots for riding are one hour, though you are welcome/encounraged to sign-up for serveral time slots at a time.  Please either respond to this post or PM me the time slots which you would be willing to ride and if you able to lend TriCats your trainer for the event.  This should be a ton of fun.  I fully expect people to wear tri-suits, goggles, wetsuits, swim caps adn other outfits to get people's attention.

I also need a few people to volunteer in shifts to supervise the people riding at night, a TriCat security guard if you will. (They would not be riding bikes, they would simply be scouting for creepers.)  There must be least 4 people riding at night, safety in numbers.

I have a fluid trainer you

I have a fluid trainer you could use, but in the interests of laziness we might want to go with mag trainers. Anyway, I'll sign up for two timeslots. Anytime Wednesday, except 2:00-4:30, works for me.

Tri wetsuits are extremely fragile; even sitting is likely to tear the outer surface, unless you are very careful. If someone wants to sport a wetsuit on the mall, better to use a surf suit or something tough like that.

I can go on Thursday from 1:30-3:30.  I will also lend my trainer for the whole time.  Will we have power for this?  If so, we should probably get some good music or other entertainment.  I'll see what I can do about getting a projector and a screen to use.  Spinervals on 110" screen.  Oh yeah.

ride 4:30-5:30p Wed.

We will also need a shade of some kind...  And maybe some fans if we have power (riding a trainer sitting still in the sun...not so comfy).  I have one stand-up fan to lend for the event, and I can donate my trainer if needed.

I can ride 6-8 pm on both days (more if needed).

We should write the WildCat

We should write the WildCat to get an article about us out.

I can go from 12-1:30 on Wednesday and 2-4 on Thursday or after 6:30.

And definitely the whole team should wear TriCat t-shirts for the entirety of the race for extra advertisement in classes.

I have a trianer if we need it, but not a car so someone would have to deliever it to campus.

Should be fun!

The times that I sent were

The times that I sent were just when I had available.  I don't know if I'll be able to handle the 14 hours that I'm down for right now.  I was thinking more of the 6 hour range. 

And what is that 4am-8am solo business for me?  Do we have no other people willing to shred some gnar?

This is just what people sent to me.  I figured that changes would be made at the meeting.  Don't worry we have to have at least five people riding at night.

just to stress this again.. we also need at least 3 people per shift at all times (2 riders and one person to get water/whatever else) and at night the magic number is 5.

step up tricats! it looks like only a few people are really trying to make this thing work..

I can be there early on Wed.

I can be there early on Wed. to set up since Im starting out the day, also after 9 on wed. i can hang out afterward and do the water or food person,  Or maybe even do and early ealry shift thurs morn... but we can figure out avalibilties of more people at the meeting tomorrow

---Just a thought but I def. think that all tricats participating should be there at the very end, maybe do the thurs track workout on the mall..just so we can celebrate together...
