I am highly interested in this endeavor, good sir. However, my schedule may have a conflict depending on selection issues. If I am NOT selected, then I shall likely attend this august May event.

Be careful, you don't wanna roast your rutabegas!
Dear Ben, I'm a solid yes-but-no-if-Cinco-de-Alpental-is-a-go. The way things are shaping-up (or, rather, melting-out), it's looking like an increasing chance I'll be in attendance...

I'd be careful, years ago expressing that very sentiment got me my very own internal meme.

This ride pairs best with pinot gregios that have hints of melon and shoe leather.

Dear Softcore, (cc Ben)
Unfortunately I cannot attend this year's festivities as I have a prior obligation.

The support rig can promise:
-a full supply of firewood for the evening
-transportation of your excess cargo from ride start to camp ground
-water refills
-emergency extraction (mechanical, philosophical, medicinal aka "IM TOO HIGH TO RIDE DOWN THIS HILL I THINK I AM A POTATO")
*If wanted, the support rig can probably promise:
-mobile camp bar, with bartender
-event themed cocktail (bartenders choice)
-cheeseburger and hot dog catering
*this is based on the camp spot being driveable.

Rather than offend delicate sensibilities, I'll just note that if things work out I might be able to drive up in the evening hour, though I'll be unable to ride up.

not gonna lie, if I can make it this year, I'm probably driving too. I like to keep my Ride to Drive ratio right around .500, and I'm a bit over that so far on the ride side.

Derrick makes a mean camp-side bar. A++ would enjoy again.

just a small tent and a sleeping bag is about all you need to survive ben country.
HARD MODE is bringing just a pool noodle.

woah, what happened to my 2nd post?
the 5th is my little brother's birthday, but i feel like when you're in your 30s you're not allowed to be upset if someone doesn't show up to your party.
i'm gonna see if this is viable for me to swing, because i really wanna join in
