Wiggens & Hypnohio, please post when you will be meeting for the hand-off. If you guys meet this weekend I can be available to meet Hypnohio the 9th-12th or I will be available ready the weekend after that if that works for you.
After that I will meet up with KK and asevans depending on what day it is that I get it and they are ready to receive it.
Ron768, please contact boatdrinks and set something up with him as to doing a buddy ride together maybe down to meet BlackZ1R. Also I'll oput you on the main map as a relayer.

BlackZ1R lives just South of Jackson, MS. He is to hand off to me (WABBMW), and I live in Houston, TX. The next firm handoff, is for OKKent to ride from Oklahoma City, OK, to Dallas, TX to pick up the flag. That leaves a lot of space in between, and potentially 600 to 1000 mile rides per person to make it happen.
We badly need some volunteers to step up and participate in the process - folks who live in Mississippi, Louisiana and East Texas.
Right now, BlackZ1R is supposed to ride from Florence, MS to Columbia, MS for the pickup, and return to Florence. Round trip is about 170 miles. Then, he will ride to Alexandria, LA for a handoff, and back home, which is about 435 miles. Total mileage for BlackZ1R would be 605. Then I would ride to Alexandria for the handoff, and back to Houston. Round trip = 480. Now if I can get someone else to go from Houston to Dallas and back, which is 510, then OK. But if I have to also go to Dallas, then the total would be 990. I'll send some PMs to riders that I know, to see if I can get a commitment
It would be very nice if people from Mississippi, Louisiana and East Texas would volnteer. Please post or send a PM. Thanks.

We filled in a couple of holes with craigs list on the first leg. It worked pretty good. Maybe someone can put up a few posts in the areas you need riders. It got it going again when it was stuck in Mass. It would be worth a try.

Hey Bill, glad you popped in. Good talking to you, looking forward to the ride over to Alexandria.
It appears you've been checking up on mileage, lots of miles for the lower states riders. You forgot to add the return miles on my leg to Columbus and back. It is 170 one way, 340 round trip. Then the 435 to Alexandria and back is going to put me around 750-775 total :pinch: :lol: .
ramtough_63 and others, good idea on the craigslist recruiting idea. I thought I had it worked out when I posted on the ZRX board. I know a bunch of those Kawi freaks have KZs stashed away and figured they would jump at the chance to ride them.
My first positive response was Ron in Huntsville, welcome to the KZRider Flag Relay, Ron!!

Sorry about the mileage error. I looked at Columbia, MS, instead of Columbus, MS. I wondered why you would be traveling South of Florence, instead of Northward for the flag pickup. Now I understand.
I will do an ad in Craigslist and see what develops. Plus, I will PM some contacts here in the Houston metro area. I know you have a long ride, but if you can get to Alexandria, LA, then I'll get it to Dallas, hopefully with help.

THAT said, to whomever TOMW is: please be careful about throwing stuff around about me, you have no idea what you are talking about. I did NOT have a opportunity or the time, to do anything "during" my vacation. I had already ridden 1,269 miles through PA, WV, OH, IN, IL, MO, IA, WI and MN in two days. You don't know me, so do what God intended for you to do. He gave you 2 ears and 1 mouth, so you should listen / read, before opening the pie hole. OK? Are we clear? Good.
So, as I said earlier, there is no hard feelings by "bypassing" me. I would expect you to keep it moving, no bad feelings on my part. Since the flag is a success, I will just try and be more involved for the next thing that comes up, or get together with some of you for a group ride, that would be nice.
Talk to everyone later,

Hope to meet up with you someday for a ride too.
As for the flags movement plan as it stands now, the flag passes to Hypnohio Saturday morning, then to me that afternoon pending weather. If the weather holds then I'll have it to asevans Sunday. Hopefully KK or Les can get with asevans during the week before the weekend 22nd, you guys are pretty close by to one another. If not could one of you ride down this Sunday with asevans so the flag can maybe pass the Ramtough the weekend of the 22nd? Probably talking only needing to go as far as Batesville to meet up with me. (1 hr for me and less for asevans)

Their was a journal when it came thru Michigan, but the front of the first flag was getting pretty covered. Their is a 2nd flag included in the package being handed off so not to worry.
NOTE; Has anyone thought of altering the route once bad weather sets in to keep the flag moving across the southern US till the weather allows it to move back North in the spring.
