[BVC-CHAT] SSS - a pre-ride history

[Wareing, Robert (BRYAN, TX(College Station))]

If the purpose of SSS is to get in extra miles, and the original
documented time of departure was 6:15am by KB in June of 2006 as noted
by Willie below, I will be departing this Saturday morning at 6:15am.

I agree with Efrian about cutting it close if we get a flat, but I  
dont mind a 7 am start as long as we dont lollygag.
