Flags for Hapa... Jay if you're in my hood - I can pick them up from you and then drop them by Paul's next time I'm doing my weekly Unkle visit to WagnBat/Beatrice.

OK, it seems the network outage has been scheduled for Friday the 18th, which means I should be able to make it to MBTB3!

Edge has the flags now. I believe we have 2 left, not sure though. He has them for the people going to KD.

I would like to do the run, but if I a still not in able to drive well (hurts to hold the steering wheel - so not great conditions to drive a twisty run) would someone stop by and pick me up? If not is cool..

Mark - when do you need RSVP's by?

Thanks!

I'll talk to the restaraunt Mon or Tue. and determine what the deadline is.

Sherill, where 'bouts you live?

I did a dry run on it today. Fun. But a LOT of bicycles. I mean a LOT. Some moderate restraint will be called for.

Count the 2 of us in. We will probably meet you all at Chesapeake Beach for lunch and then go with you after that. Coming from Southern MD, we pass by. If you could give us the route from Annapolis to there, we could be waiting somewhere along the route.

I'm still on the fence about this one - I want to go, but it'll depend on how some other things work out this week...

I want to go so bad, but I will probably have to work. What is the time frame for something like this? If it starts at 9am, when does it end and how far do we go? Not sure what time I will have to work, but I may be able to do part of it...

It is with deep regret that I have to cancel my RSVP for this. Something else just came up that can't be avoided.

I remember how much fun MBTB was the first time, so I'm really disappointed I'm going to miss out!

Not too late, you're in!

RSVP's will close Thursday night, say midnight. I've got a preliminary reservation set up now, and can tweak it by a FEW people still.

I'd also ask those who have RSVP'd that they are coming to let me know if that changes. Both to five them a accurate count and to take care of any wait list if we end up with one!

I'm tweaking the route a bit and doing another test run tonight. I'll post the maps and directions for the run tomorrow (Thursday) after I run this last test.

Thanks,
Mark

Is Jen bringing any DCMM decal thingies that stick on the windshield? Losing a mind is a terrible thing.

OK Ladies and Gentlemen,

I did another Dry run last night (Thur.) after tweaking one or two things. Went thorugh 2 radar traps on the route! One was right after Herrington Harbor and the other I forgot the name of the road. Wonder if I can get a Valentine One in a brick and mortar store? No time to overnight now.

Our RSVP's stand as...

Yes's
mmatarella = Mark
ssallykat = Sally
Jen = Jen
lastrega = Marina
CooperCops = Byron & Sue
Scavenger = Alan
W3IWI = Tom & Elizabeth
Frankie323 = Karen and Jon
Blueminiboy = driver +1
Winston03 = 2
Sagworks = Sherill
mjill4 = 2
SER = Stuart
cmdrvimes = Matt

Probably's
Hapa +1

I ask the 'Yes' folks to let me know if they must cancel and the 'Probably's' if they know yet. I'm to call the restaraunt Firday at about 9:30 am with the corrected count.

Here's a link to directions and maps. I'll bring printed copies for everyone, but if you want to study ahead or are chronically late.

Great, they just called me for the best and final count and I told them 20, that included you and HAPA party of 2.

If I get any cancelations I'll post openings for a 'wait list'
