My friend and co/worker is a big toy clooecting nerd and was given a ticket. He's been having fun judging by the photos he is posting on facebook. I might be a little jealous...not really my scene but looks like a good time.If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue

I was just down there for business and as I walked out of the hotel Thursday morning heading to the car I saw a few costumes walk by. It confused me at first but then I remembered. All the way to the customer site I saw lines of costumed folks waiting in front of hotels for busses. Pretty cool. Figure it's like their SEMA show. I'd like to check it out someday as well being a movie and scifi fan.Rich

You gotta go to one at least once. The people watching is beyond compare, there's usually lots of cool stuff to check out if you are even remotely interested in any kind of geek stuff - including old toys, and no matter how bad your life is at that time you will feel so much better about yourself and your life choices. There are lots of cool, interesting people that do the comic cons for fun or to show off their skills at costume making or whatever, but for every one like that there is at least person that you can tell only leave their house for the annual conventions. I've been to one and didn't get the whole package including after parties. My buddy did and ended up getting drunk with Missy Pyle from "Mars Attacks" and the girl from the first few "Saw" movies, hanging with Chewbaca, and goofing around with Jaws (the guy from the James Bond movies, not the shark) and a bunch of comic book artists.
I'm probably wrong

I did that ride a few years ago, the event was fun, the people attending were fun, but there is no way I'm going back to spend my tourist money on the local jackasses. The event made sure that no one was on any kind of major route, and there were ride monitors to make sure everyone followed traffic laws, they even went so far as to announce "this is where and when" so people could play nice together... yeah right... if you ever wonder why some towns, on one day seemed to be about to get a good, new industry then the next that opportunity vanishes like smoke.... remember if some guy has 10k to drop on a bike, you can bet he makes decisions that affect thousands.Last edited by SuperBuickGuy; July 11, 2015, 07:34 AM.Doing it all wrong since 1966

Aaron, it's not the riders I got a problem with.. I admit the ride from Monmouth to Falls City is a very pretty challenging ride, but hell! There are no shoulders, where do we all go? In a heap? The organizers need (must?) pick routes they can close a lane or ones that have bike paths..
Falls City is the edge of civilization, all roads on the way out of town are gravel except the main road in. There is a nice mountain bike park just out of town..

Toss-up for me.. 7 miles to the farm from my house.. Get the blue hairs, lost bicyclists, and farm equipment..
On the way to make a 4 th of July parade in Falls City (my grandfolks used to live on Main st across from that church with the bell) wanted to park next to the house and passed a grader on it's way to the parade.. Met a car half way around.. Had the family with me.. Cured me for the most part
"It is never a good day to die" helps me be patient..... Sorta!
