Moving the flag to Drooz from Mississauga tomorrow morning...

I met with Drew, and the flag is moving.






Glad to have been a part of the KZR Relay.

All you guys did a great job!

Hi Northern KZr riders!

TomW (Leg #3) and Link14 (Leg#4) are probably going to need some help coordinating the flag route through Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan before coming back south through Montana (or North Dakota depending how Leg#3 finishes). Will anyone up there be able to help out?

Thanks!

Will anyone up there be able to help out?

As of right now, the season is over.....and has been for about 2 weeks, when we got our first dump of snow.

As to coordination: there are so few of us on the Canadian prairies, I can't see a "coordinator" being required. Way back up in this thread we have myself and two or three other guys posting that they're ready to carry the flag.....but that's all in abeyance until next spring when the glaciers recede. There doesn't seem to be any other guys stepping forward at this time......but that could all change by next spring. I know I'll still be up for doing my share......at least for the southern Alberta leg. It may take a day or two to get it done because I'm not as fast as I used to be.
We need to pick this back up in late March/early April when we have a better handle on the riding conditions.
My .25 worth....other comments/opinions definitely solicited.

Alrighty.....it's April 14th and the world wants to know about the western Canadian leg of this relay.
I'm going to go riding again this year. I already have at least 3 rallies for old bikes lined up in western Canada.....1 in BC and 2 in SK.
Where did the flag end up last fall ?? Or am I completely out of the loop on this ??? All info gratefully solicited.

Was in Chicago this weekend. Not sure of the route from their. But it is moving again , And that has to be a Good Thing !!!!

It wintered in Quincy, IL (December 7, 2012 to April 6,2013). Moved from Quincy to SW of Chicago April 6 and on in to Chicago today. Check leg 3 post for details and pictures.

Thanks for the updates, gents. I'll check over on the leg 3 thread and see what's what.

Where you from, Calgary ?
If so you probably can hook up with leg 4 or the West Coast .
The flag has been through Quebec and Ontario so far.

The next move is to get the flag into Wisconsin.

Here is a quote from our Leg 3 team Captain and next in line for the flag, " TomW "

Quote:
From Rainman in Quincy, IL to BlueJ58 in Marseilles, IL. BlueJ takes it into Chicago to Saxjones and another rider there, sorry I don't remember the name. I'll go into Chicago and pick it up and carry it into Wisconsin. There are several riders here. WendyS and DoubleDub in Madison, Daddy Jama in Oshkosh, I think Moneypit is up north (with a bent frame if memory serves) then into Minneapolis. A Minnesota rider goes west to clip the corners of the Dakotas and then the flag moves south into Iowa. There are 3 riders in IA, I think from Ottumwa all the way west to the Nebraska border. Then south into Kansas, Again multiple riders to cover that state. Then south west to New Mexico. That ends leg 3. Link 14 takes over from there to cover th4e really big Rocky Mountain states. I'll study the map some and come up with a detailed plan as I here from the individual riders.
Wake up every body! We're on the road again soon. *^$@#%^&( winter is almost gone and it's time to ride!
End quote.

I think it might be a good idea to include Manitoba in Leg 3 somehow.

You guys got anyone that can do Manitoba

I'm here to cover Manitoba out of Winnipeg.I could pick up or drop off south as far as Fargo or roughly the same distance east or west of Winnipeg.We still got snow up here and it's f.....g cold.I'm away all of may,after i'm in.
