2022 Last Chance Update #9

Rider Tracking - I have posted our Rider Progress spreadsheet, which is linked from the Last Chance home page.  Volunteers record when you arrive and depart the overnight checkpoints. This helps them keep track of riders, and helps people following your ride keep up with your progress.  IMPORTANT: It is therefore important to check in with staff when and, if possible, when you depart. If no one is available, you can text your departure time to me (phone# on brevet card). Include your name so I know whose text this is.

Your Tracking Device - If you are using a GPS tracking device, you may give us a link to where that device posts to, and we will link to it from your name on the Rider Progress sheet. Just email me the link.

1000k Riders - I have received some questions about the 1000k brevet option. As you know, the 1000k route ends in Brush, 9 miles east of Ft. Morgan. After you record your finish there, you may bike to Ft. Morgan where food and other support will be available at the checkpoint. You will need to make plans on getting back to Louisville. One option is to ride a new 158 km permanent populaire I've created, the Last Chance Fort Morgan Flyer. If you wish to ride with 1200k riders, you may ride the 1200k route, which is slightly longer, but passes through the perm checkpoints, so you get credit.

Currently I see that Ray Holzworth and Dang Dzung are signed up for the 1000k option. If I'm missing anyone, let me know.

All for now ... enjoy your weekend!

2022 Last Chance Update #8

 A few notes as we head into the final stretch before the event!

Google Group Chatlist - I have changed the settings on the Last Chance Google Group, so everyone can see the group, see the posts, and make posts. (The chatlist is now open to everyone. I may change things back after the event to limit it to members.) Please use this chatlist to coordinate your riding plans - Jason Turner's post a few minutes ago is an example - and arrange room sharing, etc. Let me know if you have any access issues.

Baggage Storage - The manager at the Quality Inn confirmed to me me there will be no problem storing your bike containers and other luggage items while you are riding - most likely in their conference room, as they have done in the past.

RWGPS Routes by Stages - Jason Turner (thank you, Jason!) has sliced the overall RWGPS route into four routes, one for each stage. You can find links to his RWGPS stage routes on the Last Chance main page. 

Last Chance Jerseys and Vests - Voler has extended the deadline to September 12.  See the Last Chance 1200k Voler custom page.

IMPORTANT - Sign-In Wednesday 4:00pm-6:00pm - Sign-in will be at the Quality Inn in Louisville. If that time won't work for you, let me know. Here's what we'll do:

• have you sign the standard RUSA waiver - here is the 1200k waiver,
• inspect your bike for lighting - including backup headlight and taillight,
• check your reflective vest and ankle bands (or alternate reflective gear),
• check your dropbag for weight and volume - we have some flexibility, but please do not bring an overly large or heavy dropbag.

Any questions, just ask. See you in a few days!
