I hope so! Maybe someone can post the latest map that shows which states are represented so far.

Cheers,

Latest map can be found here:
g.co/maps/dx6ye

I actually think we could do the Eastern seaboard from Newfoundland down to Miami. There are a couple of stretches that are longer than others, but I think its' doable if riders can meet in the middle.

What we don't have is the relay object.

The relay object, hmm.

A very important piece of this - it could help bring a lot of attention to the ride.

A peace flag ? Something that really brings people together in a way.

Or something worth saving... what if everyone who joined the ride brought something with them.... a small object or something and added it to a what others had brought/donated/shared.....

I know that I sound like a super big hippie... I guess I am, sorta.... but I'm way more of a rock and roller.

Just throwing some ideas out there

I think the general consensus was to use a KZR flag with "NORTH AMERICAN RELAY RIDE 2012" sewn into it. I don’t think we found a volunteer yet to make the flag. Ed

Actually ramtough_63 was looking into this. He knew a quilter or seamstress that he thought would do it. I haven't heard from him in a bit though.

I'm trying to coordinate an East Coast run, maybe as early as this Spring. If anyone else wants to step up and take over another leg. Please do. No seriously PLEASE do.

Be sure and put yourself on the map

Hi ready2ryde1985, just click on the following link and it wil ll take you to the maps:

maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=21053298151...bd0a3d5be1c70a&msa=0 However, you will have to already have Google account and signed into your Google account as well. Then you will see a red "Edit" button on the top of the left window pane. Click on it and on the upper left side of the right window you will see the blue pin. Left click on it once. It will get highlighted. Then left click and hold button down while dragging the pin to your desired location, then let go. You are offered to input a title (your moniker if you like) and a brief description (I put my location). Left click the OK button and then the 'Save" button on the left window pane. You can always go back and edit if you make a mistake.
