It is tomorrow night, Monday, October 3rd at 7:00 PM. Jerry Trimble has a swap meet planned, so bring all of your old bike gear to the meeting. It's always a lot of fun when we have these swap meets. Afterwards, we will have dinner at Blue Mesa, just down the street on University Drive. I hope to see everyone there.

There are a few of you who I want to thank personally so here goes... Jim R. donated the use of his EZ Up tent and set it up for us. Next day he fell and broke his arm, get well soon pal. Vickie and Howard K. stayed with Dana and her mom Kathy almost the entire two days and kept them company and fed them. Mike and Cindy E. were there too. They all brought warm tea and blankets and sleeping bags to keep everyone warm including me after the race. It was unexpectedly cold and we were not prepared. Two other friends were with them, who I just met but forgot their names. Thank them too. Buddy, Scooter, and Mary Alice were out on the course cheering me on for every 26.5 mile lap, all 19 of them. Tommy F. who lit the way so I didn't have to slow down making the turn for the home stretch at night. His bike must have weighed 50 pounds with all of those lights. He was there during the day too. Does he ever sleep? Sammy and John who waved at me from the sag truck and cheered me on. Lovely Linda who took fantastic photos and hugged me with tears in her eyes when she saw that I was back on the bike after my accident. I will order an entire scrap book of photos soon. Kalleen who did everything to make this possible, but especially for rescuing me from the Glen Rose Medical Center in her RAAM van. I asked her in the van 'Do you think I can get a spot on the podium if I get back on my bike soon?'. She answered in a high pitched 'Ha' because as a race official she has to remain neutral. Martha, Phil, Jerry D., and Linda S. for checking up on me often and offering words of encouragement and congratulations. Super Stoker Susan and Big Mike for helping out and keeping me company while Dana and Kathy went shopping. Vickie T. and Diane came by often while they were doing their relay race. Lucia for a big encouraging hug at check in and Rocket Chic Debbie who crewed for all of my friends who were intent with 'self-crewing' and found out you can't do it alone. Several members of the Thursday Burleson bunch crewed for Charlie and gave me a few encouraging words and head nods from his pit. I recognized Neal. Thanks guys. Then Dan and Pam for putting this huge crazy event on. It is the world's largest RAAM Qualifier, part of the World Cup of Ultra Racing and a world class event. Now we have something to talk about late at night while riding our bikes. The FWBA is truly my bicycling family. Thanks for your unwavering support. I can't wait until Leakey. I will never forget last weekend, Racer #550 Scary Gary (also your Ride Coordinator Gary Gottlieb) http://www.fwbaclub.org/membership/emails.cfm?limitDate=%7Bts%20%272011%2D09%2D01%2000%3A00%3A00%27%7D&email=6902#id6902 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 00:00:00 CST http://www.fwbaclub.org?email_id=6902 Gary Gottlieb FWBA, This is long overdue, but I want to thank the entire club for coming out to Glen Rose last weekend and helping out with the Tejas 500 and the Texas Time Trials.

Phil Moore is the ride leader this week so come out and see the great job I know he will do. Note, this is the last 8am start. We will move to 9 am starting on October 8th. Go south on Winscott to Memorial Oak. Trail Head is at the end of the road. Cost: 1 dollar for entrance to the State Park. Distance: up to 20 miles all on trails and park roads. Ride will normally be from Trail Head up thru Benbrook Lake Park to HI 377 and back. This is primarily a training ride for those new to cycling. Any level cyclist is welcome and club members will be on hand to provide guidance and answer questions. The goal is to introduce riders to the club and to help those new to our sport gain the skills they need to allow them to enjoy the normal club rides. Afterwards we will go out for lunch/brunch nearby. http://www.fwbaclub.org/membership/emails.cfm?limitDate=%7Bts%20%272011%2D09%2D01%2000%3A00%3A00%27%7D&email=6897#id6897 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 00:00:00 CST http://www.fwbaclub.org?email_id=6897 Cheri Brown Attached are the cue sheets for Saturday's Dill Road Adventure.  Although this is one of our more challenging routes, there's a distance for everyone.  Think of it as a pre-ride warm-up for Leakey!   We'll roll out of the parking lot just off I-20 at the Ranch House Road exit at 8:00 a.m.  Don't forget that Casey will be there at 7:15 a.m. with the new Leakey jerseys.
