[Pam Wright]

Hi all and Merry (almost) Christmas!  Couple updates on our NYD rides and pot-luck to share on the below:

100k Riders

Debbie Breaud -

Bob Millay - Dessert

Daniel Schaaf -

200k Riders

Dan Driscoll - House, Plates, Napkins, Cups, Forks, etc.

Gary Gottlieb & Dana Pacino - 

Stephen Hazelton - Chili

Chris Kaiser - 

Gary Kanaby - 

Daniel Schaaf - 

Pam - Meatballs and 2 growlers of beer

As for the course, couple updates there too:

- Dogs - Some old and some new and no guarantees on all the rest of the miles

- Roads - Several places have new surface and NOT ONE MILE OF FRESH CHIP SEAL!!!

- Covington - For 200k'ers - their restrooms are expected to still be out of order but there are porta-potties behind the store.

I'm starting to get asked about "what do I bring to the party."  Some easy options are things like:

Deli Tray - Veggie Tray - Fruit Tray - Tamales - Pasta Salad - Tuna Salad - Soup - Chili

Cornbread - Dessert - Canned drinks/ice (please bring an ice chest) - Chips & Dips 

Rotisserie Chicken - Sandwiches

Overall info below and please sing out if you are a yes or a maybe.  Wanna be sure there's plenty of cards to go around and can't wait to see everyone!!!

Hi all and Happy (almost) New Year! Time to start making plans for January and I've posted to Randon too, so hopefully we'll get some out-of-towners as in the past  Why not kick off 2017 with your January R12 or P12 rides all checked off Jan 1st!  LSR is hosting a 100k Pop and 200k Brevet, followed by pot-luck at the one & only Danimal Driscoll's shack.  We'll also probably do a NYE dinner near Dan's house, so let me know if you're a maybe for NYE Dinner :)   Cue Sheets and GPS:  Official cue sheets at the start and attached later on, but in case you want to do some pre-ride foreplay: GPS 200k:   Rip-Snortin' Rando Ride (Brevet) GPS 100k:   The Doctor's Daughter (Populaire)  Please join RUSA and LSR before the ride start.   RUSA can be done online:  RUSA MEMBERSHIP and  LSR memberships mailed to Dan:  LSR MEMBERSHIP FORM  You must be an LSR member to ride the 200k and you must be a RUSA member to receive credit for either ride.  Plus joining now gets you December membership too if you're a new member.    We'll be partying at Dan's Shack after and it's all pot-luck.  We've had some awesome food, drinks and goodies, so please bring a little somethin'-somethin' and I'll keep it cold, heat it up or set it out while you're out riding.   Here's the scoop...  please RSVP to let me know who's coming so I'll have enough cards and please let me know what goodie you're bringing to share, so I can answer the question "what should I bring" when others ask!  Even if you're a maybe, I'd rather plan for you and please don't "assume" I know you're coming. 200K Brevet 7:15am   Start:  7:15am from 2811 Hollywood, Arlington, TX 76013 SAG:  In true rando-style, this is a self-supported ride with 24hr C-stores along the way.       Must be LSR member to ride 200k- Please mail your membership in today Must be RUSA member to get RUSA credit - Please join today Daylight - Basically 10hrs - 7:31a-5:34p  Bring lights - headlight and at least 2 taillights, plus you might want to read your cue sheet (be courteous and don't use flashing if riders are behind you Bring reflective gear - unless you KNOW you'll be done before dark (can you really "plan" time for flats?) Route - Rip Snortin' Rando Ride (thanks Jerry Austin!) ACP 200k brevet medals available from RUSA website after successful completion     THE POP POP POP:  11am OK, so this is your chance to "spread the word of randonneuring."    The pop is 100k vs the 200k brevet You do NOT have to be a member of anything if you don't want RUSA credit (but you DO want RUSA credit!) You SHOULD be a member because you'll want to do more after this Starts later - 11am (so you can stay out later the night before) Starts later (so you don't need lights or reflective gear) Starts later (so it'll be warmer brrrrrrr) Starts later (so you may even have 200k'ers finish with you) Get your significant other or unsuspecting civilian friend to come ride this, while you ride the 200k!  Everybody wins Join the party afterwards at Dan's Shack RUSA Pop Pins are available from the RUSA website for successful completion   Even if you're a "maybe not," please let me know you're a maybe.  I'd rather plan for you than be surprised by you showing up! So, ask any questions and send any newbies my way.  Let's get 'em hooked!   ciao for now, Pam Wright
