Here's hoping I can get mine going in time to join the Ohio riders. I thought it had already gone through this way.

Be sure to let us know if you are able to join! What part of Ohio are you located in?

We had a Pittsburgh rider, Cobura, but haven't heard from him in awhile. If he is still in then the two of you can meet up with dmiller21283 to get the flag then pass it off to hynohio. We need it to pass through West Va., going between PA and back into OH.

If Cobura is out then will you be up for the trip solo? Here is the map, I took the liberty to add you to the map.

Absolutely if I can carry on the flag, or if Cobura is still in, would love to ride along. Already mapped a nice, twisty route down to Hypnohio, down in Marietta, Ohio. It'll take about 4 hours on the back road, but that's what I love.

Anyone have an idea of when it is suppose to be dropped in Pittsburgh area by dmiller21283? I'll PM dmiller21283 and Hypnohio, give and get their phone #'s. I will be on the road on a cycle trip, from Sept 1st to Sept 24. I'm taking off on those dates, traveling through 9 states before I get back.

So I can do it before, or right after I get back. I'll let dmiller know so he doesn't get stuck with it.

650ed passed through the WVA panhandle. So unless you've got a WVA rider, no need to pass through.

Thanks Topper, I guess I missed that it went through there already!

Bull, thanks for your stepping up, hope to hear from Cobura soon as I have a feeling it will move quickly down from Michigan as that crew has been anticipating getting the flag quite a bit!

Sounds like things are coming together.Haven't heard from Cobura, so it's great Bull Durham is in the mix. Depending on how he(they) decide to come down from Pittsburgh, they may go through WV anyway if they head for the river.

I dropped off the grid for a minute (lots of rural riding in eastern Iowa, and near parts of IL,WI,MN, and even MO, put 2k miles on the bike in the last month alone) and was afraid I'd missed the Iowa segment but, err, seems like I've got plenty of time.

May have to buy some cold-weather gear at this point, if the flag keeps making this kind of progress it'll be october or later before I see it (assuming anyone else rides year-round). Still unsure about the route, be I can and will ride a couple hundred miles to grab the flag for my segment (so generally speaking I can grab it from anywhere including St.louis, chicago, minneapolis, kansas city or omaha).

Might have to start a gas fund though, finding a decent jerb is proving harder than I thought...

This was posted in another thread, but I thought everyone would want to read it.

From Pittsburgh you can't go East or South, without running through at lease part of West Virginia, so I don't have any choice, no matter where Hypnohio wants to meet up.

I couldn't decided on what bike to ride to pass the flag to him, and was feeling bad about one being left out, so am going to have a buddy ride my other bike along with me and we can swap back and forth on the bikes, so both of my bikes will get to be a part of this.

I'm in West Chester, out the northern side of Cincinnati, just off the 75.

Just back from Will and I meeting KZKurt and Harm at GunLake MI.
