Rubithon 2008 June 18th- 22nd, 2008

[pismojim]

I'm on track to leave Pismo in the morning - OK closer to noon. I even managed to lower my bump stops today so the new 37x14.5 Toyos won't rip the shock off when articulating.

Should be in Tahoe tomorrow night, head in Sunday - probably behind Dave and Ross as usual.

Dave, remind me to re-spool my winch line when you see me, it's a mess.

Ross, I'll catch up with you somewhere along the trail and be ready to help in the Kitchen as needed.

Should be at Loon by Tuesday and hoping for a hamburger at Robb's Resort. Maybe even a shower, but after only three days that might be to soon.

I can't wait to see hundreds of Cruisers!

Oh yeah, I looked at the attendance list post on the Rubithon web site. Only three FJ60s?!?! And no FJ55s (except Stayner's name had a blank entry so that's at least one). A whole bunch of them damn 40s, 80s, Mini's and FJs.

Hopefully, my new bump stop's fixed this:

Should have left the bumpstops alone and let the tires rub some of that "damn" 60 series rust off!

Jim -- That list is only the rigs on the "formal" runs. ALL of the "outlaws" are not listed. There are 175 rigs registered (roughly).

Dinner -- We're going to be cooking for nearly 400 for both dinner AND breakfast--- Prepare yourself! We'll see how many people survive Marauder bar and make it up for breakfast.

 

[chappysfj40]

mine is listed as a 40 not a 60 no worries

 

[Pighead]

I'm driving a Pig. Not the damn 60 that's mistakenly next to my name on the list...

 

[71fj55]

Tony's 5 key must be broken. I'll be there in my green pig.

[pismojim]

Thanks, I feel better already.

I like Big Butts (yes, I'm talking about Cruisers)

I'm currently 300 miles into the 400 mile drive to the trailhead. Grabbing some food and noticed free wifi at Subway.

Soon to be in Tahoe, trail in the morning and off the grid...

Cheers fawkers!

Jim's a butt man! Hehe Have a safe trip!

 

[Uncle Ben]

Soooooo just curious. Hows the trail look now? Is it still wet or has the dry spell sucked out the water?

 

[cruzila]

Trail is mostly dry, got home last night and it looks good.

Who is staying at the Ice House on Wednesday night?

 

[Mtbcoach]

We made it across the continent and checked into Placerville until departing for the trailhead Wed morning. Nice drive across except for the tornado warnings in Lawrence KS and the headwinds through CO and WY, sucking the gas in a big way.

Beautiful here, can't wait to hit the trailhead on Wed noon...

Who is staying at the Ice House on Wednesday night?

The and I are staying at Robbs Resort Wed. night and on the 9:00 run thurs. AM Got the 40 loaded to the gills and we are stoked

 

[TRT2]

OK, about now is when the issues and errors begin to surface. I am 20 shirts short, so there are about 15 folks who will receive their shirts about two weeks after the event. Ya, I bummed too.

So if you registered after 5/30, and you wanted L or XL, please be patient.

Tony, I registered early but would be more than happy to wait a couple of extra weeks for my XL if that would help. Heck, how many months did it take for the last hoodie! I know you're 'good' for it.

Best

[Rat70Fj]

Yea, I agree with Mark, Tony. You can hold the Goat's and my three shirts to make it proper for non locals.

That's is a good option. We plan on arriving on Wed. evening for the Thursday 9:00am run (instead of arriving in early morning after a 4-hour drive), beside camping or staying at Icehouse, can we camp near Loon Lake? Thanks.

Tony, Any chance we can order some extras at the event? or now? I would love an XL. If ya got to put an order in, might as well wait till after to put it in so maybe people would like a spare, or extras once they have a oops I forgot I had my cool shirt on before I starting fixing the stuff I broke on the way in. lol

Cruzilla.. I will be riding in on Friday eve, I will be looking for ya Sat. I got no truck, be on foot. Or Bicycle. Fuel prices are a killer.

Anyone else. If your going out to get Ice on Friday, and may be comming down Cadilac on Friday after dark. you may see a van. and a guy on a bicycle. That may be me. If I can find a rig I can ride near so I am not alone, and maybe put my backpack in I would apreciate it. If Not I may just sleep in the van and ride in in the AM.

Also my host is bringing in me some sleeping gear, and maybe some food. lol. If I look hungry try to feed me!

Anyway cant wait to see everyone again. been awhile since I been on the Con. I got the chance, I need to be there. even without my truck. after all its not always about the ride, but the people!
