TOPIC:

Im up for lunch, We need to speak to Curt in Kalamazoo to see what will work. Maybe Curt and Harm can meet Will and I , and join us for a group ride to meet bluej58 somewhere. And then get lunch as a group and do a bunch of pictures along Lake Michigan. Seems like our part of the relay is coming together with time to spare.

yea, that sounds good to me! It's all coming together nicely

getting a few responses from craigslist ad I ran hoping to have an enterage for our part. My girls Daughter has agreed to do a photo shoot at the riverfront in evansville (she owns a photography Biz)
if i can get enough participants to show up will have the Local news do a spot on it there is a couple photo worthy landmarks one is next to a riverfront resturaunt that sponcers local car and bike shows by the WWII LST warship tdowntown on the riverfront he other would be at the 4 freedoms monument

Leg#2 riders.... get ready, we are about to start!

There might be some major changes coming to the route so please check this thread often so you can be prepared!

Where is the flag at this time? I've lost track, not that I ever really knew :- (

I'm ready to roll when it gets to the Michigan / Canada borderlands.

Hey Renthorin, here is a link to the Relay Map . On the East Coast you will see green motorcycle icons. Click on the one furthest north and you will see its current location and rider.

Sure thing. Just let me know when it's heading my way. Looks like boatdrinks is third now that enaz1 isn't on the map???? Where do you find the map indicating the next riders location? I'm still asleep.
Wasn't there a Tshirt thread or something???

The orange guys need to be moved to Bermuda.

The map might be getting a big revision and this thing might be going in reverse, north to south instead. If that happens then Kevin will be meeting a Texan instead, if not we have a new volunteer in Alabama that I'm trying to get set up for Kevin to relay with, hang in there guys as Leg#1 has to make that decision as to the exact end of their route and the Canadians have to let me know if they want to run it down in reverse order to the rest of Leg#2. Leg#3 has to chime in as well as they will be running in reverse too!

My head hurts now... just kidding it's all good!

Suggest maybe just a total reverse of leg 2 . To start with Bluej58 and end with BlackZ1R. Seems like we have lots of riders in Michigan and Ontario so we can with some planning move it pretty fast.

Just my 2cts

Will go with the flow...

There are some logistic issues and I have them detailed over on the main relay thread right now. Bluej58 would not be in Leg##2 but in Leg#3 if we go in reverse. It would go from curt in Michigan to andy98gt in Foret Wayne, from there the route changes as Ohio rider dmiller21283 is going to have to get it to West Virginia rider Cobura, from there back to hypnohio, then to me and then to Indy, from that point on it goes pretty much in reverse. Our leg will work out pretty well as long as the changes in Ohio works for everyone involved. This solves out Pittsburgh to Canada issue too.

I'm flexible either way.

THIS IS IMPORTANT!


The current plan is a going to be little different as to where the transfer from Leg#1 to Leg#2 will occur.

Leg#2 is now going to run North to South now. We're getting the Canadians ready to receive it from either RITurbo or by mail. Running the route in reverse is going to save us from mailing it from Leg#1 to Leg#2 possibly and even if it has to be mailed to the Canadians we were looking at a problem of getting it from Pittsburgh to Canada without having to mail it if we stayed with the South to North plan. We could go from possibly mailing it twice to none by doing this reverse in direction.

Tek9ine or Jonny will be the probable meetup or mail point, Mark is tying that down right now. Leg#3 seems to be on-board with this change in direction too so we are all good to go!

I will be modifying the map with only those riders that are in for sure by the Friday night. IF any Leg#2 riders or fence setters need to join, drop or make any change at all then they should let me know now. A few of you have indicated that you would like to join this segment, please send me your info and I'll get you on the map as part of the Leg#2 route!

Just to clarify for my small portion:
I will meet andy9802gt and receive the flag.
I will meet up with les holt and we will meet ramtough63 to hand over the flag.

Correct with one possible caveat. Andy is trying to sell his KZ, if he does I don't know if he has another he can ride to be part of this relay. If he is out then there is the possibility of it coming from Michigan to you. Just putting that out there so you can say how that would work for you. Don't know how far south the flag will be able to come to meet up with you.

Curt, we need to hear from you as to how far south you can bring the flag to meet with the Indiana rider(s).

Fort Wayne is about halfway between Indy and Kalamazoo. A 2 hour ride each way if I slab it. Not really any interesting twisties between Indy and Fort Wayne, unfortunately.
