Huffy is Retired. Stella is Broken. Stealth is Flying>Literally

No, no Huffy this year. After 1,500 miles he's enjoying a much deserved retirement from being my wheels since Age 5. I'll be flying in to ATL from Seattle with my Stealth in tow. lemme explain...

When the frame cracked on Stella (the wonderful track bike gift I received at last year's 24 race) Aero_70 gave me a tall, jet-black, bare-bones late 70's Raleigh frame. I've spent the last 9 months sinking money ($1K) and miles(2K) into 'Stealth' in preparation for not just surviving the 24, but really doing it justice! Now with SPD's, butt pads, aero bars, and a full Shimano drivetrain w/ a 53 front, I'd say it's a long way from platform pedals, boxers, and a banana seat.

Rockin'

I am going solo too, under the Fahrradgemeinschaft umbrella. You put in an impressive distance last year, so that is what I have on my sights.

Johnathon's picture

What are you shooting for?

Last year I did 220. This year I'm shooting for 300+ like Mouhamed and Tim last year. Up for it?

TNT got you scared?

You're not dropping out of the team category because you're scared of getting beat by a bunch of girls, uh?

Alex's picture

Nope

I figured I can beat you singlehandedly, hence the solo bid.

I might amputate one of my legs and gouge out my eyes to give you a chance.

TNT Rocks

Of course... we all knew that.

Glad I dodged that bullet and did not race directly against y'all.

Johnathon's picture

yeah,

that woulda been scary. So we'll be the outta town duo next year, right? We'll have to come up with a clever team name, and I'll have to come up with a new/refurbished bike.

Alex's picture

It's a date!

Under faraghawhatchamacallit, of course.

Johnathon's picture

of course!

of course!

The Gentlemen of Leisure did

The Gentlemen of Leisure did race directly against TNT, and being the Gentlemen that we are, let the ladies go first :-)

Alex's picture

Yep

That is what I would like to do.

As my mother would say

Hell's bells and panther tracks!

What about the bells?

Hear the sledges with the

Hear the sledges with the bells -
Silver bells!
What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
In the icy air of night!
While the stars that oversprinkle
All the heavens, seem to twinkle
With a crystalline delight;
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells -
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

125 people pre-registered.

125 people pre-registered. We only have a set number of RFID cards, so it's in your best interest to register now! We'll take as many teams as we can but it depends on how many people are solo and how many are in big teams, etc!

Johnathon's picture

so how many solo so far?

so how many solo so far?

btw people, don't eat/bite your RFID card (see profile pic). It makes it not work.

ckdake's picture

I don't know the solo count

I don't know the solo count because some people register as 1 person even tho we ask them not to, and some people that are solo have registered but not paid so they're not official yet. And some people that we know are participating haven't registered yet.

I'd say that you'll have some competition!
