      Who's driving? I'll pay for gas.

       

      I've got room for 3 passengers in my car.  How many are we?

      Older, slower, and trying to keep up with Tall Dave.

        I would also have room for 3 passengers.

          I can drive if we want, I am not sure what everyone has done about the bus, if we are all on the bus then this would work with one vehicle

            I am signed up for the bus.

             

            mta:  I will also add that much like yesterday's run, we may need a "Hamptonesque" and "Non-Hamptonesque" option.  If that's the case, I need the "non" version.

             

            As I recall, the finish at ES20 is nothing like Hampton. Basically you cross the line, grab  some water and either stand there freezing to death in the middle of seemingly nowhere or find your car pronto.  There are no tables of endlessly supplied beer.  It's all very anticlimax.

                I am in, and have emailed the RD about getting on the bus but haven't heard back yet. Doesn't sound like it should be a problem, though. I'm looking to passenger it up, and am willing to provide donuts.

                  I just crossed paths with Rick. He's doing the half and is looking for a ride back to Wallis Sands beach, if I understand correctly. I told him I wasn't quite sure who was driving who or what but that I'd put the word on here.

                    I don't like making decisions, so I am going to say you guys figure it out and let me know. I also can not be having a repeat of the post-Hampton. Anyone who wants to ride with me is welcome but I will need to be back to town at a decent time and sober

                      ....but I will need to be back to town at a decent time and sober

                       

                      That doesn't sound like any fun. Stop being adult like

                        Who said herding cats was over?  It's never over.  Here's what I propose.  We leave at 9:00 from the Y.  Alicia drives, I think we have 6, we all pay gas $.  We run the race.  You all wait for me at the finish.  7 of us (including Rick) ride back to his car.  We drop off Rick.  Then, we either head back to the Y directly or stop for a burger where we will each have coupons for two (2) beer and one (1) hour maximum.  We have to go to a place that serves fries if we go so that we don't have to go getting ourselves in trouble.

                         

                        BTW, I'm also absolutely OK if we skip the burger/fries/beer and go directly home without passing Go. If anyone has a better idea, post it.

                          Check the bus schedule, if we have to take the bus it said the last bus leaves at 9, unless I read it wrong/got confused, very possible

                            OK, you are absolutely right.  Good grief, we'll be sitting in the gym for a while.  I guess I'd say we should arrive at the Casino around 8:00 then to make sure we avoid the 9:00 onslaught.  That would mean leaving here around 7:15?

                             

                            If we really don't want to wait for 2 hours at the school (I personally don't mind) then I'd say we have to take 2 6-person vehicles.  I can't do it with Diane's car that day because she will be using it.

                             

                            So, I propose the same plan as above but leaving the Y at 7:15 unless someone has a better idea.

                             

                              Sounds like a solid plan to me.

                                7:15 is good and post race food is always good by me
