Mirage Racing (619) 562-5533 deals with Fox Fabtech stuff. In fact, I think they rebuild the Fox shocks for Fabtech.
I think some oil did leak, not sure how much. How do you refill the oil? Mirage was the place that just rebuilt those shocks in Dec. 05. Where can i get N2 in Alb?

We'll get the burgers and buns, however we don't quite know how many to get.

I hope to get more posts tomorrow on who is coming....

I recharged mine when only a very small amount of oil spilled, but once all of the oil came out and I had to re-fill one completely.

I went to a motorcycle shop.

What time is everyone going to be available? I was hearing 5 and 5:30 the other night. Since everyone has been to my dad's place we could use his place as a meeting place and all caravan out there or ride together. I'm thinking we will be leaving here at 5, who thinks they can make it by then? I'm really sorry but when I talked to the step-mom today I totally spaced and forgot to ask for directions. I'm getting up early to take my truck into the stealership to have a couple things looked at and she is suppose to call me when she gets up to finalize everything and discuss what she is going to bring so I will ask then. I'll post them up on here as soon as I get them and anyone can call me to get them also (my number is eight two eight - five four five - six nine five three). Right now we are looking at around 13 people total. I'm going to ask Dana (the step-mom) to take care of salad stuff. Brian said he was going to bring chicken and possibly brownies. Steve is bringing burgers/buns. We are bringing beverages and assorted cookware etc etc... I will have some extra veggies for sides if need be. Spill (sorry didn't ever make the connection from who you are to the screen name and you don't have a signature yet) if you could bring some other sort of desert and maybe some tequila I'll bring some margarita mix and we can christen my DC blender.

How does that sound everyone? Everything seem fair?

The earliest I will be able to get to your dad's house will be about 5:30. I'll bring some kind of mystery food to the shindig, haven't decided what yet

Directions:

From Santa Fe-
Head South on Cerrillos Rd (14) and your going to go approximately 9 miles. You will pass the state and local penitentiaries etc. about half way before the next turn.
Make a right onto 586 and its another 3 miles or so on the right. There is a green gate and I will put some sort of balloon or marker out to make it a little more obvious.

When I talk to Dana this morning I will get more detailed directions and there is a quicker way for those that are coming from alq or up 25.

If everyone can get here at 5:30 then we can wait until then. Either that or I might go down beforehand to get everything setup for when everyone else arrives so no worries.

Ditto for me too.

Austin, I was looking on Google Map and could not located 586.

For those coming from ABQ, they can take the 1st Bypass exit. On Saturday, the ABQ folks may have taken the 2nd bypass exit that took them onto the bypass and towards the Shell station. In this case, you want to take the 1st bypass exit, and you will be forced to take a right turn. This will then lead to an lighted intersection, at that point, take a right, and you will be heading towards the State Penn, on highway 14.

Ok,
so we have hit a snag that is beyond my control, nothing thats TOO big of a problem but does put a kink in the road. As it stands we are not going to be able to have the BBQ portion of the evening at the mine. We can still go down there, Doug will give a quick tour of the mine itself get a tour of the mine. I can get some interviews with some nice backgrounds etc and then we can come back to my dad's pace and cook here. Right now lets plan on meeting at my dad's place so we can caravan and ride together to save gas and also keep the # of cars to a min because the road isn't in the best condition due to all the rain we have had in the last month. I hope this isn't a problem for anyone but I think it will actually simplify things a bit. Also, we will be down four people so everyone thats bringing meat plan on about 6 people to be on the safe side and Brian (4Runner) if you want to bring salad that would be awesome!
