Cabin for WV Race

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Fri Oct 03, 2003 5:13 pm

Hey guys, I have found a cabin for the WV race. It is $235 a night and sleeps about 7-10 people.

Before I book it I want to make sure you guys are serious about shacking up.

It will be about $25-$35 a night with 7-10 people.

Drop me an email or give me a call today. I need to book this thing ASAP before we lose it.

Hey guys I booked the cabin. It is in Fayetteville about 5 miles from the race site. It will sleep 8 comfortably, 10 uncomfortably. It will work out to about $25 a night per person.

I only got the room for Friday and Saturday night assuming that most of us would be leaving on Sunday to get back to work Monday morning. If need be we can probably get Sunday night.

Current list of houseguests:
Brian P
Slappy - ?
WesE
Vlad - ?
John Dillion
Eric Moore - ?

We can fit an additional 3-4 guys so let me know.

Wes Eastridge · Post by **Wes Eastridge** » Fri Oct 03, 2003 7:15 pm

Five miles from the race site? I didn't even know Fayetteville was five miles in total area.

Vlad Popov · Post by **Vlad Popov** » Fri Oct 03, 2003 7:18 pm

Pardone muh-ah for offtopic...again...

Ahh...tight slalom? Did you say tight slalom? 70 cones?

I'm fighting hypersalivation and an errection...all at once.

Dave Gale · Post by **Dave Gale** » Fri Oct 03, 2003 7:33 pm

Nerevmind. We're out.

Eric Wallgren · Post by **Eric Wallgren** » Mon Oct 06, 2003 5:59 am

Hey Brian. It's looking like I can make it. Room in the hovel? after sharing a room with Joe Iaccovelli....with one less bed than it was supposed to have at Da Farm, the cabin sound positively palatial...Let me know...

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Mon Oct 06, 2003 3:37 pm

Eric, no problem your in.

Vlad, are you seriously a no show. I need someone to help me wear down McCree and the Radikal team.

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Mon Oct 06, 2003 3:49 pm

Per Mr, Gale.

The race in WV will be a rain or shine event. October is historically dry, but in the case of rain the race will go as planned.

I raced last year in the rain and it was no problem to keep control. You just needed to hold back on the pump and try to get the best roll. I used Avalons last year, Avilias would be good or the new Gumballs. Something that will carry a lot of rolling speed is probably best. Big longboard wheels.

Hopefully it will be dry but if it does rain still expect a killer event.

Vlad Popov · Post by **Vlad Popov** » Mon Oct 06, 2003 4:13 pm

Brian, if no rane, I'm gaim. The princess wants a separate place, you see.

John Gilmour · Post by **John Gilmour** » Mon Oct 06, 2003 5:03 pm

How much pitch does this hill (bridge)have? Are there exppansion joints? Also where is the nearest private aircraft airport?

Jonathan Harms · Post by **Jonathan Harms** » Mon Oct 06, 2003 8:17 pm

Dave G, correct me if I'm wrong, but ze bridge is not where ze race is. Ze race is in ze town of Fayetteville on a regular old street. Ze bridge is just for ze crazy people to base-jump off of. So, for the race, there are no expansion joints, just creaky knee and ankle joints from some of those involved.

Vlad Popov · Post by **Vlad Popov** » Mon Oct 06, 2003 8:20 pm

What? No joints? For mind expansion? We're out. Again.

Slappy Maxwell · Post by **Slappy Maxwell** » Mon Oct 06, 2003 10:09 pm

If we find a Red Bull party to crash again.

I don't advise bouncing from Red Bull/gin to Red Bull/vodka to Red Bull/tequila to Red Bull/bourbon.

The hangover is like having a blunt axe thru the head.

Wes Eastridge · Post by **Wes Eastridge** » Tue Oct 07, 2003 12:09 am

Is anyone going to WV on Saturday that I can get a ride with? If you're taking I-66 on your way to I-81-S, I'm right along your way.

Vlad Popov · Post by **Vlad Popov** » Tue Oct 07, 2003 11:03 pm

I think the only weak link here is the Rad Buel.

DaveG mentioned something about not being able to open this forum for some reason...

I have a question for those who've been there. How long does it take to get there from DC?

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Tue Oct 07, 2003 11:23 pm

I think it is about 4 1/2-5 hours. I am planning on leaving on Friday afternoon so I get there in time to watch the freaks jump off the bridge.

If you plan on getting there on Saturday the brige is closed so make sure you have a good map of the area. You may have to take a detour through the "deep woods" to get to the other side of the river.

Man super bummed Tori and I can't make it this year. As you know we have a lot going on close to home with the new home, new baby, new life kinda thing going on, not to mention I commited to a 2 day sk8 camp in OC with Matt Dove, and the family can really use the $$$$$$ so duty calls, man I haven't even been to OC this past summer ok sorry guys, have fun

cabbage

Wes Eastridge · Post by **Wes Eastridge** » Wed Oct 08, 2003 3:29 am

It’s too bad you won’t be there, Cabbage. One thing though, I don’t know how the weekend will be this year without the diversion of the Old School House (it burned down). Good luck with the new house.
Races are always more fun with cabbage.

For people concerned about trouble Saturday getting around the closed-off bridge: The bridge is only on the way to Fayetteville if you take the windey, dangerous, “backwoods” road known as route 60. I’d rather not take that road anyway, even if the bridge were open. I-64 to Beckley and then route 19-N is a longer distance to Fayetteville, but it takes about the same amount of time and probably uses the same amount of gas because it’s a much easier drive.

Addendem: That info was strictly for people coming on I-64-W from the east (DC, Virginia, and such). The Bridge is just north of Fayetteville. Bring a map if I'm not riding with you.

Just to let you guys know I will be heading to WV on Saturday 18th and should arrive sometime in the late afternnoon or so. I will be staying that the campground that was listed on the race calendar website.

Its just going to be my wife and her parents. I driving the ugly blue VW camper bus and her parents will have their RV.

Sorry to say Aaron will not be making it to this race since he is going to be in Florida at Disney World.

I am looking forward to a fun day of racing with the DC crew and other in WV!!!

Anyone else going to camp out at the campground???

Come on PA Dan!!!! Find a dog sitter like my inlaws did !!!

Tim Keasbey · Post by **Tim Keasbey** » Thu Oct 09, 2003 3:55 pm

Still on the fence about this one, I am not much of a TS racer, what are the odds of "Time permitting" a GS after the TS? If so I am up for some floor space, no haunted school house to session/sleep at

Slappy Maxwell · Post by **Slappy Maxwell** » Fri Oct 17, 2003 3:11 am

My car is acting kinda funky. Anyone got space for a ride down to WV?

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Fri Oct 17, 2003 3:26 pm

Hey Slappy, give me a call. 703-488-6131 or 703-901-5167. John Dillion is driving over I am sure me or him will have room. I just got a new car (actually truck). But we can through stuff in the bed. I have Wes riding with me but we can stick him in the bed as well. I am planning on leaving around 3-5pm today.

John's number is 443-610-8488

Brian Parsons · Post by **Brian Parsons** » Fri Oct 17, 2003 3:29 pm

For anyone that is planning on staying at the DC cabin. Here is the directions. I will not get there until late tonight so the keys should be left under the mat. If anyone asks the reservations are in my name.

From the North: Take Rt. 19 across the New River Gorge Bridge and then turn left at the first stoplight. (You should see Tudor's Biscuit World on your left.) Then go thorough Fayetteville (Two stoplights) Look for a carwash on your right and turn left up the hill onto Gatewood road. Follow Gatewood road app. 5 miles to Cunard River Access Road. We are on the corner.

From the South: Take Rt. 19 to the Oak Hill Main Street Exit. Turn right at the top of the hill then turn right onto Salem Gatewood Rd. ( Approximately 20 miles from Rt. 19. There will be a Mini Taco Bell and 7 - 11 on Corner.) Follow Salem-Gatewood Road to the Cunard River Access Road. We are on the Corner.

DC won WV!

I can’t say anything negative about the race. Except for, well, maybe that the pavement was rather average. No a flow in organizing and running the show. Dave Gale and his guys did a great job.

Dillon’s the best on the mike.

I wanted to drop a line and say it was great to meet all you guys this weekend. Soon I'll have to make the trek to DC and check out your scene. Tonight, Jenny and I made the trip to Blockbuster and am planning on some serious vegging out.

You guys may be proud of me. I ended up actually teaching today instead of declaring it a "worksheet day." That's dedication to education. LOL
