    Rule 55 is just as good... I'll remember that next time we see all the shuttles and e-bikes on San Juan.

    Rules 56, 57 and 58 also speak to our IMTB constituency. Evidently Steve @Faust29 is devoted to rule 56. @mike must have written rule 57. I am a firm believer in and practitioner of rule 58 - though I do stray from time to time.

    Oh - and I was confused when I clicked on the link because it goes to comments and not the rules. One has to scroll down and click on "The Rules."

    Same here... I'm only one coffee in. :coffee:

    You guys laugh, but a post ride espresso is magical. It brings me back to life- especially after a really hard death march. :inlove:

    The Rules.

    @herzalot, I’m fully on board with no public stickers, but LNT ethos has been practiced by the more evolved humans since before I was born.

    It could pretty much all fall under Harden the F Up rule. Overcoming our inherent weaknesses like conformity is our condition as humans. WTF you got?

    I usually just apply Rule X. It covers any scenario, any situation, and any concern.

    Nope. Just giving the same reminder that everyone gets- especially if they happen to be a card carrying member of the Death March Club.

    Rule 5 is always in effect. I mentioned that I wanted a future exemption after finishing Wrightwood this year with no voice. It was denied. :cautious:

    Nope....I rode 15 miles on a broken leg, my lifetime exemption was revoked within the first year following that.

    I use Oil of Oregano....it seems to be helping. I'm a little congested but don't have a lot of boogers, phlegm, crud...what have you :gag:...plus, staying away from sugar helps with that as well.

    You know you’ve been accepted as one of the tribe when you’re told “HTFU!” in the middle of a ride. :D

    As it stands, there are only 4 of us starting from the top. We may pick some others up along the way. If we have 5, we can make it work with 1 vehicle on each leg.

    there are rules? I am too old for rules. I only have 3
    1. get into work late
    2. then I must leave early
    3. make the rest up as I go
    These are the rules I learned working GSE one summer when I was on loan. It stuck with me to this day
    GSE is a term used by your Uncle Sam, people like Mikie know what it is. They use a lot of it in Canada
    Happy staying below the radar trails

    To this former naval aviation puke (non-pilot), GSE has always meant Ground Support Equipment, so if it's not that I'm unfamiliar with your term. :Roflmao

    I went back to page 1 to verify the date and noted that @mtnbikej has converted the date to canceled. o_O

    Saturday isn't going to happen???? (Not that I planned to join this ride...)
