Ok, there is a second thread for the 1st leg of the relay located here 1st Leg

I threw my hat in the ring to organize the next leg to cover the last of the east of the Mississippi states/provinces in the 1st leg post.

If the seaboard leg is going to go south to north ending in Newfoundland and if a reverse trip isn't doable then it might be better to ship it to boatdrinks in Alabama to start the second leg from the south to north.

If it travels north to south the second leg would be much easier to route but the shipping idea will work too.

Unless someone else would like to take the second leg then here is possible route;

Shipped to Alabama;

Alabama – boatdrinks
Mississippi – boatdrinks meet KraZy Chris
Tennessee – KraZy Chris meet Ramtough_63
Kentucky – Ramtough_63 meet Bike Shop (need to confirm is real person)
Ohio – Bike Shop meet KZ Rage
West Virginia – KZ Rage meet hypnohio
Pennsylvania – hypnohio meet (Placemark 44?, or preferably another in the Pittsburgh area)
Ontario – PA volunteer meet teK9iNe, rstnick, jack
Michigan - teK9iNe, rstnick, jack meet harm
Indiana – harm meet koolaid kid

At this point the third leg could begin but if desired Illinois could be part of the second leg. Having boatdrinks pass it off to KraZy Chris in Mississippi gives us that state unless a volunteer from Mississippi comes forward. If one should come forward then that person can pass it to KraZy Chris. Bike Shop needs to be confirmed as a real person but if not then I will meet Ramtough_63. The Ontario contingent will have to decide if they want to do it as a group or pass it amongst themselves until heading it south. I will seek out members of KZR in the missing or long stretch areas to see if they would like to join it on this to help reduce some of the distances.

I would appreciate hearing from those listed if they are (1) OK with me taking on organizing this leg, (2) are in for sure and (3) having any suggestions or issues with the route of the relay on the 2nd leg.

Sounds pretty good KZ_RAGE, I am willing to help any way possible. Im fine with you getting it organized. Maybe you should start a 2nd led thread like some have done with the 1st leg thread. Also to cover all your questions I'm In!

I finally have a working bike so count me in. I can run east/ west on I-10 or north / south on I-65 or any of the back roads to connect up with someone. Looks like we need a lot more of the southern corridor folks to check in.

Congrats on the bike! Glad to see you put yourself on the map. There are several riders from FL you should connect with but no one up in the panhandle.

Maybe with you involved we can add Mississippi and Alabama to the East Coast run.

ramtough_63 any more word on the flag? Do you need us to start sending you some $$?

Alabama and Mississippi will work for me.

Here's another hypothetical route. The black lines shows where it can be shipped. The red lines are riders with blue dots as as a hypothetical meeting spot. Just throwing it out for discussion. If you start in Florida in March, by the time it reaches the upper seaboard it should be mid May. Which would not be bad riding weather wise. T_Dub, can ship it back south to start the next leg. And so forth. MTBSpeedFreak Can pick it up in from Marneman in Washington and drop it off in Las Vages to DimondSkyBlue1000. Of course, each area can decide anything they want and how they want and with whom they want the token to travel and get passed on. Just thought to put this out so people can start thinking about it. Riders that live close together can do a leg together if they choose. I put a time line on the map as well. You can see the time line is flawed because it would put the Canadian riders late in the riding season. Not trying to plan anything for anyone with this map, just trying to promote some interest and food for thought.

What states are still not represented? Ed

Any updates on the flag?

Soory guys been spending all my free time on my bike this week he just finished some stickers up for my next paint job will have him print one up next week then i will send a pic to see if it's what we want

anybody gonna take pics with the flag at any popular spots? if i have the flag in the summer i could try to get a pic of it with the jersey shore cast haha

Downtown Disney World, Panama City Beach maybe at the time of Spring Break. I'm sure I'll be able to be in one or both of those spots. Maybe post a short video clip to boot.
