No Country for Old Goats

I'm taking the Epic seriously and training for this festival.

And I'll be offering bike shuttle service for the Old Ore Ride for a nominal fee (to cover fuel and Nat Park Entrance fee).

Drop off at Dagger Flats, pick up at the hot springs.

So are you riding Old Ore this year? Or just going to shuttle?

Thanks to anyone who can answer!

You should register for the Old Ore Road on Thursday, the extended ride at Lajitas on Friday, and a ride of choice on Saturday at Big Bend Ranch State Park. I signed up for the Rincon Loop (30+), but Tobin and others are leading rides. It does not matter so much which ride you choose, as they seem quite flexible and you can change your mind and scale up or down. I think they are more concerned with having an idea how much support staff and water to place on the course and of course, to collect the money going to the Big Bend Alliance charity. I also signed up for a T-shirt. Sometimes they run out of T-shirts. We try to leave early enough on Wednesday to arrive and set up in time to ride the Lajitas trails on Wednesday afternoon. Sort of a social paced warm up.

I am glad you are going and look forward to visiting.

It is open Wed-Sun

Pencil Blammo & I in for the shuttle. Planning to camp somewhere near the Hot Springs Wed., so we'll figure out how we'll get to wherever we need to get to before the time comes.

Did I not esplain clearly enough?

Blammo & I will need a shuttle for the Old Ore ride. We would like to enlist your services for said shuttle.

We'll be camping in the national park somewhere near Hot Springs on Wed. as we're planning to visit Boquillas on Thursday. I was trying to say that we'll figure out a meeting point among ourselves for the pick-up/drop-off at some point prior to the event.

Comprendes?
