[jasonba1]

Hey whats up everyone, If anyone is around east tn we have a great wakeboard challenge on Sunday sept 26th at 10 am it will consisit of 2 riders. the challenge is called the C2C . we are going to ride from calhouns downtown to calhouns in lenoir city it will be a 43 mile ride first team to make it wins. Prizes announced soon.

Rance I know your in or you better be lol....Didnt hear from you saturday but the day did look terrible I didnt get out either. Let me know and lets get to the boat club soon and hangout....

[jasonba1]

Doesnt matter how much you fall and the boat cant run over 25 miles per hour....the only stipulation is you can only have 2 riders if one rider can make it there will be even a better prize. THe only thing you can use is a wakeboard, doesnt matter what kind of boat just as long as its a boat.

Man that sounds like a good time, I should get one of those organized around me somewhere.

[jaywidhalm]

43 miles on one tank of gas? Will that be cutting it close for some?

[jasonba1]

it will be cutting it real close ill be bringing 10 gals of fuel with me

[KG's Supra24]

43 miles at 25 mph is less than 2 hours, right? How will that be cutting it close on fuel?

Sounds like there are going to be some sore backs and legs. If you are going 43 miles something treks me it will be rough water. Id prefer a tube with room for an ice chest. :)

[iwakeboard]

I did half that trek from Northshore to Calhouns and it didn't take a quarter of my tank. I posted on ABC's FB Jason, I'd probably be able to volunteer my boat. Assuming no issues with school barring it.

[jasonba1]

sounds awesome iwakeboard ill keep you informed....did you ride that whole way ? if so you should enter and ride with another person....by the way it was good to see you on the firdiay of the pwt

[RanceOU]

Jason-Do all the boats start at once or are they staggered and it’s a time trial? I just started hitting the gym up and today is legs so we will see lol. I need to find another decent rider to help me out; the people that have been going with me lately just really started wakeboarding so it would be a really long day. Does Cope from the boat club wakeboard much?

[jasonba1]

it will be a staggered start, im not sure bout cope i think he use to ride all the time and then they had the twins and that took up alot of their time.

You all in town this weekend ?

[RanceOU]

Yea we will be around, defiantly on the boat at some point. We didn't get out last weekend due to the weather.

[jasonba1]

ill give you a call I wont be around til about 4 on sat but should be around all day on sunday

[RanceOU]

Sounds good!

[dusty2221]

43 miles? That shouldn't burn up hardly any gas. We did (according to bing.com maps) a 38 mile round trip cruise Saturday at an average of 25 in 1 hour 20 minutes and the gauge went from full to 3/4 of a tank.

[RanceOU]

Jason- Who's boat are you going to be driving? The reason i ask is if i am going to be riding who am i going to trust to drive my boat through a lot of uncharted water (for us anyway) lol. Might be doing a trial run on Saturday.

[saltare inverts]

What a sweet idea. I wish i was closer I would love to see/be in on this adventure. I rode 5 miles one time and about died. This is going to be a tuff deal. Is it legal to duct tape your hands to the rope? Could be a interesting fall though.

[MistieRed]

Rance, you are already trying to shut me out of the endurance... huh????! ;)lol. Can't blame you I'm not sure I'll be much of a long distance rider, but it would be fun to try. Lord knows you won't trust me to drive the boat.

[RanceOU]

I'm down, do you want the first 21.5 miles or the last hehe. No for real, let's win this thing. Yea not so sure about driving the boat in alot of unknown water for us.

[Patrick56]

I know the lake from one end to the other, and I live in the bend above the Pellissippi bridge. I might be up for this event. 20 miles of riding could be tough, but I can drive.

[jasonba1]

hey rance me ryan and chris moon are having a little meeting tonight at wildwings to get everything finalized. There has been a change we are doing the event for charity now. A friend of mines 12 year old son has just been diagnosed with bone cancer so we are going to try and raise money for him and his family during these tough times. Rance we will have you a driver it will probably be me lol. Come out tonight and hang out I think there is only one more wild wing rail jam after tonight

[jasonba1]

[RanceOU]

There is nothing like a nice long ride in the rain, lol! It was a great time, Got to hang out with a lot of cool people for a great reason! We didn't win but mad props to the two teams that did it with one rider. We should have gotten bonus points for the beer zipline we had haha.

[jasonba1]

beer zipline was awesome nothing like wakeboarding at 25 mph and saying im thirsty then all of a sudden you look at your line and here comes a ice cold beer . Thanks to everyone on team human ballast Rance, Mistie, Ward, Mike, and Chris. We had a great time in horrible weather for a great cause. Rance killed it. All in all we had five boats that came out. With the 5 boats we raised 4000 dollars for Matthew Crawford. Thanks everyone.

Ill be in the gym soon I realized how out of shape I am lol Ill be ready next year....The 2 guys on 2 different boats that rode the whole 43 miles I am in shock that is amazing
