I am a little disappointed that GOBA will be flat again this year. It probably is because of the new hill rule just instituted this year and they may be...

We just got our registration numbers 691 & 692. We also got our XOBA numbers last week 148 & 149. XOBA's web site says they were up to 186 at the end of Feb....
Actually I think XOBA is sold out. I talked to Ann a couple of days ago and she said there were only 3 spots left! They hadn't put all the names up yet. Lisa...
Yeah, I finally got the email. Yahoo is very slow in posting tonight (big surprise!) so I'd posted here before the XOBA one came in. ... From: Amanda Orr To:...
Good to hear you got in (I am a member of both boards.) Are you going on GOBA as well? This will be my 12th time...Looking forward to another great week! ...
No, I'm sorry to say we'll be missing GOBA again this year. We did the first 14 and have missed every one since. We're taking care of my husband's mom, and...
We have a like-new Burley Piccolo that our daughter has outgrown that we are selling. This is one of the best trailer-bike systems in terms of quality,...
I have always wanted to go on GOBA and would like to go this year. My question is this...... If I am unable to start on Saturday or Sunday, can I still ride...
They do say no partial week registrations, but I have known a couple people to arrive late and I know people who leave a day early every year because of family...
I am pretty sure that GOBA carries the registrations along for the late folks. I think "no partial registrations" means that you have to pay for the whole week...
Hi Everyone, The Hot Tamale Bicycle Tour, on Saturday, June 2nd, is a great GOBA training ride. Each year, the majority of the 400+ riders are preparing for...
HI Lisa, First, I forgot to include the web site for the Hot Tamale ride. It's http://www.hot-tamale.org/ In answer to your question, there's no formal rider...

Yes, you can. I've have done partial weeks before but I have made the proper arrangements to do so. Others riders that I have rode with have also started...
Last year was my first GOBA and I had a great time. I understood attendance was down last year. It appears to me this could be the case again this year based...
I'd also be interested in the theories people have. I did the first fourteen GOBAs and definitely saw a change in how things changed as it became more...

I think the lower numbers were due to the rain; I heard a lot of people went home early because of this. We gave the people at the mill (last snack stop) who ...
Here's what I believe....11 year rider, by the way.....I believe that a recent large infuence on dwindling GOBA #'s is the price of gas. Now, I drive from...
Well, I decided not to register on goba this year and chose the XOBA ride instead. The reason was very simple, it was the route. I didn't see it as exciting to...
I'd contribute it a little more to procrastination and tax refund. We just sent out registration in this weekend for a family of 4. Also since there is a...
Hi, We are coming in from Washington State for the ride. 1. Does anyone know of any cabins or houses for rent in the Celina area for Friday, June 15th? Grand...
As far as lodging in or near Celina the night before, the best I can do is suggest calling their Chamber of Commerce and asking. They may know something that...
Kathy, Saturday is just registration which only takes about 15 minutes and they are open pretty late. And-- about 5:30 there is the bike parade to town with...
Thanks for the tips! It helps to know what time things start on Sat. for planning to meet friends. Kathy ... From: onyaleft9 To: gobagroup@yahoogroups.com ...
