Ride to HPT on Friday

Hey all,
I've got to work at HPT on this weekend, and Friday I'm going out there without the wife, so I'm considering taking the bike. Just wondering if anyone else is headed that direction earlier in the A.M. (5:30 - 6:00ish) and wanted to hookup and ride together. I'm gonna go over some maps this week and try to find as many gravel and hardpack roads between here and Topeka as possible. My Meridian shot craps however, sometime between the last time I used it (like three years ago) and now, so unless Garmin comes through this week, (not likely) I'll be going it the old fashioned way.
Let me know if you're interested.
Ian
Edit: I'm leaving from North KC. Just thought I'd throw that in.

Also, if anyone is on the fence, I can get one person into the races for free.
Big, national CCS/ASRA races. Super-fast guys are gonna be out there, even some of the slower AMA guys, which, you know, are still really frikken fast.

'AMA' and 'slow' do not belong in the same sentence.

Man that's early! I could probably get the day off. Is the free entry still available? Any obligations on my end after we get there?

It's only early if not used to waking up at the butt crack of dawn, working for twelve hours for demanding (obnoxiously so in some cases, TIM) racers, than sleeping a couple of hours and repeating all weekend.
No obligations what-so-ever. I have to be there for all the races, until about 5ish or so, to mount tires and be a general pit bitch for the team. If you decided to hang around till then, or swing back by around then, I would more than happily accompany that person all the way back to KC.
Free entry is still up for grabs.

I don't know what corner I will be on. Might be diff each day.
And remember I have a rule that you do NOT want to brake! Do NOT come to visit me!!!!
As to Thrusday. HPT is having a pre race open track for the racers to sort out the bikes before the races. And they said they could not do it with out me!
Ok so that was only half true...

Sent you a PM Carl.
Tracy....you must be talking about your ringside seats, cuz mine are a little further from the action than yours.
Tim, I'll be there Friday, Sat, Sun, but someone will be doing tires Thursday/early Friday (before I show up) if you need to get some done.
And don't worry, I've got your hat.
