XS East 2017

[Jerry]

Web page has been updated. The route maps are now in viewable/downloadable/printable .pdf files. The routes' GPS files are now available as downloads as well. Two versions, one for Garmin devices and another for generic GPS units, four files in all: One of each type for Saturday and one of each type for Sunday's ride.

Please note: The download links use an HTML 5 "download" command which is supported on most newer browsers. I have tested it on my Mac Pro using Safari and with my Win 7 Pro 64 box that is running IE 11 and the latest version of FireFox. If you have problems getting the files try another browser or contact me and I can e-mail you the file(s.)

T-shirt

This is the tentative t-shirt design. I'm waiting to hear back from the printer.

Marty and I are working the routes.

I believe Twin Falls is quite remote so we'll take meals at the resort. From past experience they're ok and quite reasonable. It looks like gas stations are nearby.

Working the t-shirt design now.

I'll probably do a recce run in another month to verify routes, lodging etc.

I'm in. There is no Emilia Cook.....

Yeah you can just call and ask for a room from the block set aside for the XS East group for Memorial Day weekend.


For the first-timers, the schedule is the same each year - arrive at the motel Friday afternoon and socialize. Then we ride Saturday and Sunday, usually departing at 8:30 or 9:00 am, and promptly. Lunch each day is scheduled in advance, and we eat as a group. Then Monday morning we depart for home. There are stretch / water stops and gas stops scheduled on the routes.

So when you call the lodge, tell them you are arriving Friday May 26, staying for 3 nights. Several of the rooms have 2 beds so if you are solo you can share the cost of a room with another member. Feel free to post here if you want to pair up.

I have not spoken to Darrell yet, but I assume we are eating breakfast and supper there at the lodge.

Once the routes are finalized, paper copies will be available for download, as will GPX files that you can import into your GPS programs.

Sorry for the short reply, I was on the phone with a restaurant.

I'm helping Darrel.

It looks like all has been quiet for over a month and time is moving on. Wondering if this is still on or maybe a change is in the works.

Hey Boss, you still around?
You have messages, too many to add another one.

I'll clean out my inbox and with the holidays over, get working and coordinating on the details.

No rallies this year for me...Looks like we're getting ready to relocate to Southern Arizona...so we will be preoccupied with selling the house and moving...
