My riding partner and I always do paper, rock, scissors to determine who gets the inside seat to slap hands. Occasionally we gamble $1 on the winner. Gemini rules!!!
I'm living back in Toledo now and have a season pass for the first time. Any day would be fine. I'm wondering if there's still enough interest on this site to organize another Gemini 100.
I also want to note... I understand that the event 3 years ago was special to the 11 of you that conquered this feat and won the title of "Survivor". Congratulations. Most of you say you would never do it again. That's fine. I want this to be special for a new group of people. I ask you original survivors for any tips you could offer us. Endurance conditioning? What kind of shoes to wear? What NOT to consume... Anything you can think of. Thanks.

I think our best bet would be on a Sunday or Monday in June. Crowds are light and we would have 12 hours. If we wait until July or August we could have 13 hours but the crowds are heavier. Still... Sunday or Monday would be the days to do it on.
Perhaps we could just rent a train and never get off... ahh... *daydreaming*... :-D

Even with less rides, make sure you can handle the heat & humidity.
I was there for the 100, but skipped out after 20 or 30(can't remember). It got too muggy for me. And to top it off, I had my Magnum marathon of 80+ rides the day before! :)

edit: On the other hand, 4th july would have 4 extra hours to try. I bet that'd be a good day to try. Then again, with even a 10 minute wait, you're only talking 6 rides per hour, or 85 or so rides for the day. Tough goal any way ya look at it. *** Edited 5/28/2004 1:52:29 PM UTC by Stimpy***

I think the consensus in this thread is that whether we reach 100 or not, running laps on the Gemini all day will still be a fun (although exhausting) social event. Short notice is not what we want. So today, I nominate....
