I plan to receive the flag this Sunday in Leesburg, VA then ride it through WV, PA, and then to home in MD. The concern I have at the moment is who to hand it off to and when. The idea was to take it sometime after this Sunday up to Delaware to pass it to Haggard Scott, but I haven't heard anything from him in a couple months. Anyone know if he is still in the game or if there are any other potential riders in NJ or DE or Eastern PA? I'll need to pass it to some one. Ed

Ed, I searched for Scott on the KZR user list search. It shows his last login to KZR was April 15. At that time the flag was still in Fl. So who knows, maybe he has something work related or vacation time away. In Florida, we kept in communication via email and each others cell phone numbers. Without them, things would have taken even longer. Good luck.

Spending the morning reviewing my route and checking the weather. Will meet Tybolt99 this morning around 11:30 in South Hill, VA. My buddy Doug will be riding along on a modern Kawi Concourse. I'm still hoping JimStan shows up in South Hill, but haven't heard from him in a while.

Then we'll ride up to Leesburg, VA and I will meet 650Ed there Sunday morning at 9:00am.

Looks like the rain may be chasing us the whole way. Think dry thoughts everyone.

Can someone take a closeup of the flag to show all the names that are on it so far? That would be kinda cool to see.

I came back home after meet up with Topper, his friend Doug, JimStan, his son and friend at South Hill VA.
Little sprinkles here and there but didn't get bad enough to get the rain gear out. ;)
I'm hoping they will stay dry on their way back up to the north.

Getting ready to leave



At South Hills around 11:30 am.









Short ride for me this time 56 miles one way. 600 miles total for NC->SC->NC->VA->NC.

More pictures will come from Topper and JimStan including the one with flag.

Safe ride!

Made it to Leesburg, VA where I'll meet 650ED tomorrow. I got dumped on with buckets of rain but the rain gear did it's job and I'm no worse for wear.

Pics will have to wait till I'm back home tomorrow.

It was great to meet tybolt99, jimstan and friends. Hope we're able to ride together again sometime!

Your location would fit well in Leg#2, that would help us bridge the gap from the Pittsburgh area to Canada. If you know anyone willing to run between Pittsburgh and the NY border that would be great!

Here is the thread here on KZR for Leg#2.
