JIBE 2011 Links and Registration OPEN
Hey Gang,
I have the JIBE 2011 web page up here. Dates are still Wednesday May 18 through Saturday May 21.
Main changes for 2011...
Probably going to bag the Friday night dinner at Blackbeards in favor of a picnic lunch on Thursday or Friday. The group is getting bigger and the
need for pre-selected menu choices for a group this size makes things difficult. Also, by that time on Friday night, most people are literally and
figuratively burnt and exhausted. Tides are late in the afternoon so a noon lunch will not interfere with buggy time since the beach will still be
small.
Runs to the Shipwreck 3 1/2 miles to the south of Kite Beach will again be the favorite goal once the SE seabreazes kick in and there will be special
rewards for those who make it. Pennants will be planted in the sand on the other side of the wreck and you will have to bring one back to signify
that you made it there.
I wanted to move the staging area for Saturday to the southern part of the Island for Saturday in order to stay south of the few packs of sunbathers
near hotels, but this will not be possible. This would require roadside parking at the only buggy-friendly access point and the Jekyll Island
Authority does not want this since there will be traffic to the Soccer Complex to the south. We will stage at the same place as usual. Many prefer
this anyway since there are more facilities nearby there. Weekday access to the southern stretches and the shipwreck will be normally un-fettered.
WildWood Buggy Bash will not conflict with JIBE dates, so we expect a much larger field of participants. WHOOP WHOOP!
Low tides will be pretty late in the day, which is good since that most often coincides with favorable sea breezes. use the morning for family time
with shopping and sightseeing. Looks like we will have a lot of new JIBE first-timers this time, so I will likely reorganize a guided Sea Turtle
Center Tour during one morning at high tide.
There will once again be a Triathalon on Saturday, but it will be in the morning and will be gone by the time the beach is usable, after 1pm (again,
low tides are late)
The shopping Center and convention center are gone to the wrecking ball, as is that section of road, so there will be lots of construction and well
marked detours (see map on the JIBE web page). This will not affect the beach or JIBE except for driving there, and maybe parking.
There is more information about the Jekyll Island Revitalization Project here
Most of the old shops and market have moved to 1/2 mile north of Blackbeards to a temporary shopping center in commercial trailers (it really is nicer
than that sounds).
The new Gas station with Flash Foods convenience store and Dairy Queen should be open by then (Jan. - Feb. 2011), located near the island entrance at
the old gas station site. (Edit: Open and running; very nice)
The foster wheel program will be in place allowing participants to ship their buggies without wheels (saving money, bulk and hassle) and adopt a set
of wheels for the event. I have a commercial shipping address available.
For those wishing to save a few bucks off the Jekyll Island hotels, there is everything you need at I-95's exit 29. I have added a new map and
directory of the area here. It is just 11 miles from Jekyll.
Registration is now up and open with links in the JIBE page Here
The link on the JIBE page will take you to secure purchase of registration on the CWS site, where you can use credit cards.
Go direct to the purchase page here
I have a JIBE Guide PDF (click to open or right click to save) that you can download. It has directions, maps, checklist, schedule, registration and
waiver forms for faxing.
If you just want to download the Waiver and fax it to me (number is on the form) prior to the event then you have more time to buggy.
Please pre-register so that I know what to plan for. If you want to pay at the event, you can register on the CWS web site and mark select "Pay by
Check/ Money Order"

Yes, its a service provided to attendees. It will take several events to cover the costs of Angus doing this, as well as storiing them in between.
Props to Angus for offering this to anyone flying in.

Yes, the new Great Dunes park 700' to the south of Kite Beach is now open and features a handicap ramp down to the beach. It is what I use for the
big Ivanpah buggy. There are three steps up to the big deck and the wheelchair ramp for that is too narrow for larger buggies, but the main ramp down
to the beach is 7 1/2 feet wide. Note that the ramp does not reach the hard-pack, and there is still a minor incline in the soft sand to get to the
main beach and hard-pack.
There are a couple of pics here.
It would still be a bit difficult in a wheelchair but passable with crutches.

Yeah the 96 lb Ivanpah was a real *itch on those stairs, but the new handicap ramp 700' to the south of the stairs makes things easier. There are
still 4 steps up to the deck with the ramp and there are a few yards of sugar sand at the beach end of the ramp but still doable.

Camping on Jekyll Island is also a good way to save pennies. The campground is at the north end. It's huge and pretty quiet on the weekdays.

Yes but book early and book often as snowbird traffic can fill it up. There is no other camping permitted on the island, nor overnight parking in any
parking lot without a permit from the campground.

Got all the green lights I need from JIA (Jekyll Island Authority) and we have their full support.
I have also updated the schedule. Many of you know that this part of Georgia is a coastal community with maritime traditions and one annual tradition
in the spring is the "Blessing of the Fleet" to wish the fisherman safety and prosperity.
Well this year at JIBE we will start out at 1PM Wednesday with a very brief invocation, or our own "Blessing of the Fleet" by local Presbyterian
Pastor Dawn Mayes, to wish us good luck, good weather, good winds, and safety. She is very excited about this and I know it will be a nice touch. My
plan is to have folks present to start setting up around noon or whenever to get lines laid out and staked and then right ofter the invocation, do a
mass launch and explode the sky with ripstop. Should be real cool and I will try to get press there. JIA might be able to help with that.
If anyone has gear for tandem rigs for VIP demo rides, it would be great if you could bring it along.
Tide will still be up there at 1pm but at that point going out quickly and the beach will not be crowded as many will recall.

Angus,
I'll bring both of my buggies and I should be able to make it there by noon. This will just be more incentive to rebuild my hitch for my new lead
buggy. :-)

No Marc, spectators and non riding friends and family members are welcome and do not need to register. Registration covers insurance and direct costs
and the beach is otherwise public state park. Extra lunch tickets for Thursday, t-shirts and Sea Turtle Center tour tickets are available. We
usually have an equal number or more of friends and family over riders and that just makes the event more festive. Locals will put up big show kite /
SLS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s and that will be seen by people driving on to the island, drawing more spectators. It's a great scene.
