Re: KZ North American Relay Ride-Leg 3

Bill and I are meeting on Saturday at the Progressive International Bike show in Dallas to transfer the flag. I know the other guys in northern Oklahoma want to get the flag too, and I have contacted them and will set up a transfer for the 17th, weather permitting.
Keeping it in the south would be a good idea, but it seems like the southwest has few riders and very long distances between us. Bill and the Houston group and myself are looking at a 450 mile round trip, and a possible overnight to do this one part of the leg. Maybe we can move it as far as possible and when the time comes to stop because of ice and snow, that person with the flag can mail it to someone in south California and they can keep it going? If we do that then we can re-adjust the legs over the winter, maybe?

Re: KZ North American Relay Ride-Leg 3
05 Nov 2012 01:49 - 05 Nov 2012 01:50This is getting frustrating. I thought the flag was supposed to go North from Texas. If it has to stall out due to weather, fine. I cant ever do 450 miles with the flag, but I'm riding my '79 KZ 650 to work in the 40's and wet tomorrow. C'mon, people.OKC_Kent wrote: Bill and I are meeting on Saturday at the Progressive International Bike show in Dallas to transfer the flag.

i didn't realize moving the flag was a "high pressure" deal. :whistle:
we do not have a time frame to co-ordinate to.
when we started this i don't remember anything about it being a race.
if you want in,wait your turn.
it will get to you.
in turn when you get it and your thirty year old bike brakes something and you can't move it for a couple weeks i "won't" ride your "a$$"!
that's my .02,ymmv.

p.s. whiners always finish last anyway.it's just their nature :silly: .
