Maybe. There seems to be a prediction out there for a lot of snow and ice for the northern latitudes. :sick: :angry: My weekends get very busy as we move into fall with harvest and other things going on out at the farm. Again, I'll just have to see how things work out.

To everyone on third leg, email or PM those closest to you and set up rondevous points. Keep every one updated on this thread. Our time is coming soon.


So when do I get this memo? :whistle: :lol:
Have you gotten up with either of these two members? I haven't heard back from anyone in leg #3 that I've PMed. Sent you an email a while back. Enjoy your vacation, wish I was out west riding with you.

You got the memo now! I have been in touch with Bill, WABBMW. Now you have too. Jim, Rainman has contacted me as has BlueJ58. The third leg is getting thin. I'll keep this thread near the top until we get the flag. Every one on the third leg, post here so we know who is still involved. We have a lot of territory to cover before the snow flies. Gotta long way to go and a short time to get there.

If I was on vacation I'd be doing a lot more riding. I get out once in a while, maybe 50 or so miles out and 50 back. Just day rides but exploring is fun and there are a lot of twisties in the mountains. I figured out a way to mount my phone on the bars and make videos as I ride. Unfortunately the files are too large to share.

Tom, would you mind posting something in the main thread about the status of Leg #3? Maybe where you're going to start/finish, how many riders you've got, if there are any holes you need filled, that sort of thing.

I haven't read the whole thread but just by looking at the map real quick, I could help out in the Kansas City area. Didn't look like you guys have anyone on this side of Missouri. If you need help, let me know. If not, no big deal.

N0NB in Marysville, KS and I are talking about a handoff somewhere in North KS or South NE, maybe you could get the flag from him and go North, and I could go straight south to pick it up...we got a little time to figure it out...

For what it's worth - I am definitely in. Have talked to BlackZ1R, BSKZ650 and OKC_Kent. If necessary, I will do a "double shift". The plan is for me to meet BlackZ1R in Alexandria, Louisiana, and take the flag back to my home in Houston, Texas. Then hand off to BSKZ650, who lives in Houston also, and he will take the flag to Dallas, Texas to hand off to OKC_Kent, who will have ridden from OK City to Dallas.

I do not know where the flag is at present, and how many legs there are before BlackZ1R picks up. Can anyone enlighten me? Just like to plan ahead. Thanks team.

Yes, that WAS the plan. Barber Vintage Festival is on that weekend. Are y'all gonna shoot me if I go to Barber instead of relaying the flag? :silly:
It is possible for me to do it during the week, if WABBMW could possibly swing it.
