Ok, so here we go
I figure I'll need pit 1 and 3, unless you can pit at the finish line? in which case I guess I'll just use pit 2 and the start/finish.
I do not have a spare wheel set, I intend to run bibs for this race as well as unbreakable levers, still, I will have a set of plain jane levers just in case, a spare master link, the description says that the race course will be mostly single track, but sources say there is no real single track in the vegas area, and people who have a lot of time racing bitd say that their idea of single track is fire roads possibly with silt and rocky roads, so I'm gearing 13/42, aka really fucking fast, I think I'll bring a 12 tooth sprocket that could be swapped on in the case that I'm wrong about it requiring a bike with a high top speed. I intend to leave abq for gallup the night of the 6th, put the bike together in gallup, and be at buffalo bills the night of the 7th, I'll do my race, hopefully with favorable results (the 9th) and drive back home that sunday evening.
I do have one other friend who is going, he has a girlfriend and a dad who is going to pit for him, I had pondered having you and dan at one pit and having them help me in exchange for you guys providing him with fuel/pit service. It hasn't been discussed at great length, but this way you and dan could keep each other company
Fuel: My acerbis tank does not accept quick fill, I have one vp jug with a hose, I can borrow another one, but I was thinking I'd just fill those 2, and then get 2 more cheap traditional cans that the vp jugs can be refilled out of?
Food, I'll have to figure out something, this is going to be a long day, nutrition is going to play a big part, I'll pick up some hydration supplements and what not, banana's and avocados for potassium as well as some candy for quick carbs since I am after all a type 1 diabetic.
I appreciate both of you stepping forward to help me, team panda rules bitches
