Thank you, guys.

In the few hours, heading back home from Denver. Should be home by 1 am or so result of loooong connection.
Slight chance of shower/storm remains in the morning. I am hoping get out of area without getting wet.
250 miles ride, 30 mins or so break and 250 miles ride back.

Will see you tomorrow, Eric.

KZScott, we've been looking for someone to help in Maine for a while. We've had a couple people pop up and then dissapear.

So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that won't happen again. I'm coordinating the East Coast leg and will send you a PM shortly, so please check your KZR private messages.

Been thinking about you guys all day. The weather was beautiful but chilly here in VA until about 11:00 then it dumped buckets of rain for a couple hours. It's cleared up now and starting to dry up.

Hope you're getting some good weather for today's relay ride.

Met with enaz1 and chatted about an hour or so. Got back home around 6.
234 miles one way. No rain but cloudy and little chilly at around 55 or so (yes it is chilly for around here ;) )

He said his bike broke down at near GA/SC states line. But I just got text M from him and he said it is fixed now. He will ride it home tomorrow.

I just took this picture with my phone. He will post some pictures when he gets back home.

Now the flag moved from GA thru SC to NC!!!

Also if everyone involved could post pics in the photo album thread along with active thread from the leg that is carrying the flag. I know it is double posting but that way we can see from start to finish in one thread versus the many threads for organizing the run.

Thanks for seeing it through guys. I'm having a little trouble following what happened. Enaz1 where did you break down? Did Tybolt99 ride to you or did you have to tow your bike to him?

:( I hate to say this, but I have to pull out of the relay. I F ed up Sunday night and reveed to high dumped the clutch and up she went with me and the son inlaw aboard. The back rest worked as a wheely bar for a bit till I let it go and we bailed. Crushed the stator cover and bent the rear motor mounts, I havent had much time to dig into it as my father is on his last week on this earth.
My trip would have been Minneapolis to Duluth MN. So again Im sorry and I hope that the route can be adjusted by the time it gets here. Or theres always next year, but its starting to move fairly well now.
