That's a neat idea.  Fair warning though: we could easily have 60 people attending this between kids and adults, mostly from TFK, so plan accordingly or adjust expectations.  I don't want you to feel like you got trapped into something bigger than you intended.  Wink

Still looking to come out and help. Will there be or is there a list of needed things? Like chocolate syrup for the ice cream? Is ice cream good to put on wounds? Smiley

Other than probably needing more grills and some implements to grab and turn hot objects, I don't know that you need to bring anything.  Sure glad to have the hlep though!

We'll use the 2 grills at beatty, plus my small portable one, plus whatever others may be able to bring.  If that's not enough, we'll light a pile of tires on fire and cook meat pushed onto spokes over that.   Grin

Whose tires are we burning and whose spokes are we using? I'll donate the tube with a hole and other trash that a thoughtful individual left laying trailside at SB yesterday. I'd donate their tires and spokes also if I could figure out who it was Smiley

Is there any plans for alternate times/dates if the weather should be bad?

It looks like Friday night into Sat morning will be WET.

Will we just push festivities later in the day/ next day/ next week???

If it rains, I say we:
1) push the start time to noon, 
2) move the ride to the nearest Hooters, 
3) let the kids ride laps around the parking lot
4) and the dads kick back and watch SOME FOOTBALL!!!

But thats just me...

I think right now there is only a 30 % chance but we will have to wait till it gets closer.  Rode Beatty tonight and it is dry as a bone....a touch of rain would actually be a help.

No, there is no rain plan as of now.  Keep in mind that this is built on a regularly scheduled TFK ride (plus pulling their extra trailer of 20 bikes from Fisher), has a park shelter reserved for a certain block of time, and relies on a large food purchase by REI.  I don't know that we can just slide the date/time around.  Worse, there would be little time to communicate the change to the various groups involved. 

If this changes, I'll let pass that along.

Yeah, I knew you were moving -- that's why I'm wondering who I'll harrass for the game? Sad

Max and I might be there tonight.  B is otherwise indisposed.

Mike I won't be making it to Beatty. Duty calls and off to Atlanta in a few hours. Won't be back until Sunday.
I found out at SB that Gramps is headed for Florida. Something about a new Everglades trail he wants to work on. Sounds like there should be some real man eating TTF's on that one. Gonna miss having you around Gramps Smiley
