MapMyRide Tour de France update: We are in 9th place!

Hey everyone — Check this out:

We are in 9th place — mostly thanks to Wayne J., Owen J. and George B. But alot of people have 3,4,5, and 6 points contributing to our team total of 112 points. We’d be many more places down if it wasn’t for all you who are submitting and getting a few points here or there over time.

Since the TdF is off today — you can submit today or tmrw (or both) for Tuesdays ride, and the system will pick the best ride.

How to rent your bike for Hack the Heat

Update – we will meet at 5:30am – and please ignore the first pickup time on the McGhies Signup Form.

Hello Hackers and OverRiders!

This is the second thing you may need to respond to ASAP for the Defcon Bike Ride on August 4^th, 2011 in Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada! (The first email was sent out my Bruce (@gdead) regarding ordering bike Jersey’s. If you are interested you have until July 6^th to get an order in (reply to this email if you need info)

Here’s the deal – we have partnered with McGhies Bike Shop in Las Vegas for our ride. Yes – they will throw your clipless pedals and seat posts on if you insist. They have 3 levels of road bikes:  a ~$40 Cannondale Synapse,  and a ~$100 Lance Armstrong starter kit road bike (think Madone.)  There’s also a $125 level also.

 

WARNING: Remember shmoocon ticket sales?  First come first serve! — there are about 18 $40  male road bikes and 5 female — after that it’s a hybrid or a $100 bike.  You can always ship out your bike for about $130 also on some airlines!

Here’s what YOU have to do:

You need to go here and reserve your ride. You will need to pay with a credit card. You should note anything special here and you should indicate you are reserving for the Defcon Bike Ride.
