I am a day late on this... and also a million things behind.
The sleeping bag I was gifted turned out to be about 6 feet long. Doesn't really squish. But it looks warm, so I think I'll stick with it for now. Or buy a pool noodle. I want Derrick to buy me breakfast.

Roje is pulling the old "Gamble Scramble". Are you towing a trailer this year?

Hubris is a helluva drug: I'm pretty sure I can finish and fit the bike at least by Friday night.
I'm not even gonna touch making frame bags, because I'm being reasonable.

First blood: specify mile 0-60
last night my wrench slipped while undoing a bolt and I ended up getting out the first aid kit for the gauze. does busting your knuckles open on a chainring while cleaning/overhauling the bike count?
if so, first blood has been officially spilled.

I just bought two packs of self-adhesive Park patches, just to be safe. No way I'll go through 12 flats, right?

If you're fairly sure you'd like to buy it, you're welcome to borrow it for BC to try it out.
It's only "water resistant" though, and so, if the chance of rain stays the same or gets worse for Saturday, I'd only take it if you have a synthetic sleeping bag; this bivy wouldn't be so good with down.

Also, can someone suggest any good sleeping pad, sleeping bag and tent that won't blow a hole in my pocket? Do I really need a tent? I hear a lot of people are carrying 2 person ones :P
REI has and additional 35% some brands in the outlet. If you are still looking to get gear before the weekend you might consider some of these things. REI also rents sleeping bags(eww), sleeping pads, and tents.
You'll want to get 1 or 2 day shipping though. ~$25-30

Anyone who really wishes they were going, but aren't: got a tent and bag to lend? Also down for sharing a tent instead of hauling one. Groundrules: no puking in the tent, all spooning to be negotiated first.

massively lighter and stronger thanks to tubular 4130, and the design is almost impossible to beat at any price
nope - GTFO electric bikes are banned unless you're Denny
Scott this trip for any electric bike would not work unless there was a car following with three or four battery packs and a place to recharge for the trip home. My (real) bike is not ready (waiting on parts) so no ride for me. I am researching gear and camping stuff for the rest of the spring onward. I am sure you all will miss me flying by up the hills. See ya Thursday.

How're we feeling about that avalanche warning? Especially hanging out on rainy days following warm sunny ones.

PM'd you. Have a tent to loan you. Possibly bag, too. Probably every other accessory you could want.
Except my FYS. Still missing. Did I loan it to someone here? Sven saw, in a vinyl cloth and-made sheath from an old Boeing banner that says "Air Cargo" or similar on it.

Drivers: somebody pickup a keg and disclose your paypal info. I would much rather use my vessel to drink beer than pick up a thousand fucking cans and bottles Sunday AM.

I've been toying with the idea of driving out when I get off work at 10pm, from Bainbridge. But I don't think showing up with a midnight keg will really help anyone get home on Sunday...
But - I've been wrong before. Midnight keg = Sunday brunch?

Hmmm. Well, I figure I'll be leaving my place around 1-2PMish, so I think I could pick up a keg Sat afternoon, or else Friday night. If Friday, the beer might not be optimal temperature when I get there though.

Joe grab a keg whenever you want, the river will cool it, as it did last year.
PM me your paypal or collect cash when you arrive.
However, if we rely on you to come through with a keg and you yes but Joe I am going to kick you in the nuts so hard bro.
So hard.
So.
Hard.
In the nuts.
