A few things for Thursday:

1.) Below is a link… it’s basically a survey on where you are sleeping Wednesday night. We are trying to figure out how many people need rides from where. (Rio, Ceasers, etc). @myrcurial is going to meet us at the Rio at 5:30, but may be able to pick up people somewhere else or make two trips. If there is a group of 4 that could split a cab — then that’d be cool too… any ways — here’s the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dERvNVdWM1NsaWljbHVnWTd5TjVjckE6MQ#gid=0

2.) Defcon Tickets — There was talk about Defcon tickets — we are not planning on collecting money and grabbing badges for people. If you are totally hard up and don’t know anyone and really want to catch a 10 am talk, reply to this email and I’ll connect you with someone that I trust to get you a badge. Other than that — please find a friend on Wednesday night to get you a badge or hit up the line after the ride. I talked to the guy that run’s reg, and supposedly it should go much faster this year.

3) The Ride — The current plan is to go out to redrock and if people want to a vertical loop once there. There are more details on the site from last years identical ride. Some details:

1. You can bring your own pedals and they’ll throw them on.
2. You will get one water bottle, a 2nd one is $2.
3. The ride is 1-2% uphill the whole way out. If you get too tired or anything you can just turn around and cruise back.
4. McGhies will have staff there when we return so we don’t have to wait around.
5. We are cycling in the desert. Just saying. Drink plenty of water the night before and morning of. You won’t realize you are sweating liquid out.
6. If you know anyone with a car that is willing to be a 2nd follow car, please let me know
7. There are no jerseys — it just wasn’t in the cards this year.
8. If you ordered a tshirt please bring $20 and i’ll hand them out after the ride.
9. You should probably have a bike reservation by now if you aren’t bringing your own bike.
