I will do Vinyl. Any other suggestions? Names I will not do: Anything relating to WoW, Poo Fart Gamble, or Crusaders for Bush (unless its just the acronym). We should make it a goal to register by the end of February. Once we register we can start looking for buses.

I just tried to converse with david...but as usual no luck. Lets see if we can get some big sposors so that the purchase of the bus doesnt kill us.

Dan, you do understand that aside from the Air Force and USPS teams, no one takes their team names seriously. There's a team called the gynecologists or something of that nature...

I thought of a good one on my ride today, I saw one of those support our troops ribbons on a car, and if we put support our troops on our shirts then whenever someone passed us on the ride we could yell "Yeah, pass us by just like you passed the troops you terrorist bastards" then we would be sure to win, because all the other riders would be ashamed to pass us.


Sound like a plan?

FACT: Eric cannot get up at 10 AM and do a 5k run first thing after a breakfast consisting of apple sauce without puking and damaging his knee cap.


At this point, I don't care what our name is anymore. I am really hoping you guys just pick something that's not gay.

As far as I can tell Grant, Kevin, Eric, Sammy, Jayson, and myself are going. And Wade is a maybe. We should try for 10 people so we can minimize the per capita cost.

I dont know really, it kind of depends on when I need to be back here which is up in the air because there are no set dates as of yet.

I think our goal should be by the end of February, so then we dont run the risk of not being accepted.
