The Void III

[DNA]

Anyone riding the VOID III rally this year?
http://www.rallythevoid.org/
I am starting Altoona, and have a double bed room in Lynchberg Sat night.
Any interest in splitting room costs?
Last year I did it as a 12 hour - this yea they added a 24 hour ride as well.  Should be a good rally judging from the people entered again.

I'll be starting from Owensboro. Just put new tires on, hope to have my aux headlights on by week's end.

Got my rally towel in the mail today.

I'm also starting from Owensboro. Looking forward to a great time!

I'll be starting from Altoona.  Bike's at the shop getting new shoes, wheel bearings, and fork oil.

The flag arrived today.  Not sure what to do about moisture protection for it...

I'm thinking about laminating the whole thing.

Are people meeting up someplace for a good meal in Altoona before the official start?  As a local, any idea of a good meeting spot?

Any bets what the little tile is all about?  

Who thinks the Sprint will last through this one?    

[Rocket_Cowboy]

Just be careful laminating that thing ... if it creates a glare when you need to use the camera flash, you'll be hating life.

How 'bout one of them zip-locky document protector things? You know, the kind with the holes punched for a 3-ring binder? They make 'em with a kind of frosted surface that should reduce glare.

That's kind of what I was thinking ... something none permanent, so I can change plans if need be.

I'll wait on a laminating vs. the temp thing until I get a better sense of what the weather will be like.

Hey Dave:  I think folks are putting together Altoona dinner plans on the Yahoo board, but I probably won't come down for it.  I live an hour north in State College, so I'll be sleeping at home on Thursday.  And I've already made dinner plans for Thursday night up there.  If you want to join us for dinner in Penn State-land, let me know.  

And when we run into each other at a bonus location in this year's rally, let's hope the bonus is actually there instead of several miles away.

Ed?  
 

I will be at home Thursday night as well in the DC area - but I iwll be riding up to Altoona on Friday AM.

I was wondering if there was an IHOP/Dennies or something up there we can rally to and have a big brunch before the 12:50 start?

I am about 2-3 hours away so I was planning on getting there about 11:30?  Any ideas?

The schedule lists a "call-in" start at 2PM Friday, Oct 12. I assume that means call from someplace within a specified radius of a starting point (gas station, fire house, etc.) Is anyone interested in meeting for breakfast before the Owensboro start?

Last night I had a flat tire/ lost/ missing receipt dream.

I think this is going to be a stressful few weeks.

If I can find an IHOP in Owensboro, that's where I'll be.

Did everyone get their electronic rally book? I have not yet received mine.

[Rocket_Cowboy]

I got two emails Monday evening, both containing the Owensboro KY rally book. The second email was worded that it was a safety check just to make sure there was no problem with the first email going out.

I got mine twice yesterday as well as Altoona Rally book.

Looks like it's going to be a fun rally.

[Rocket_Cowboy]

If you're not already, make sure you're subscribed to the yahoo groups mailer to get updates on rules clarification and updates. I know there's been at least two corrections to the Owensboro KY rally book.

Scott and Gary are updating the rally website with these updates at some point today, but it's also good to get the updates as they happen.

See you guys in Lynchburg if not before!

Shall we try to gather for an STN group pic at the dinner?
I know Ed by sight (we spent a bit of quality time together last year with an old geezer in a truck), but no one else.

I will try to wear my STN national DNA shirt at the dinner - assuming I don't crash out in the process.  Anyone have an STN hat to wear for that Boni?

Ah, good times...

I like that idea.  Let's go for the photo.  I'll pack my "All your roads" shirt for the banquet.

[Rocket_Cowboy]

I don't have and STN apparel to wear, but I'm up for whatever Thursday evening.

Hopefully Mike got his rally book issue resolved.
