From BSKZ650.

I ride a 77 LTD 1000
dates not aval, thats kind of hard to answer not knowing any type of schedule or route
an over night may work again, kind of need to know when it may make it down here
we ride pretty much year round here

Bobby

Hi Bobby,
I know it's hard to schedule when you don't know when the flag is going to get to the 3rd leg. All I know is they are starting in Miami on March 12. You are at the end of the 3rd leg along with WABBMW, Bill. You two should get in touch with each other to see if you can work on a plan. The preliminary plan in my head has the flag going south to Central OK where OKC_Kent lives. The Houston guys have to get it from him and get it to gravit8 in Albuqurque NM. That's a lot of miles for two guys to cover. It's the longest segment of the 3rd leg. We'll figure something out. Thanks for getting back to me.
Tom

Per my PM with TomW:

Tom:

I'd love to take part, but my summer schedules are always a mess. Do we have any approximate dates so far? If not, I guess I'd be better off stepping back and trying to tag along with someone for part of a route if I can.


Now, if it works out, I'd be fine doing a bit longer, I just don't know how much of a commitment I can give with a vague schedule - wish I could. I'll keep an eye on things here. Don't do Facebook (read:refuse to do facebook), sorry.

Hi Tom,

Sounds like a great 3rd leg, I was hoping you'all would end up in NM. I'm thinking Leg #4 (Rocky Mountain Leg) would run up from NM,CO,WY,to the guys in Montana. Kind of rough, but I'm open to input.

I'll keep an eye on your leg and once it solidifies, start shaking the bushes along the front range.

I might want to do a stretch on the Rocky Mountain leg. :woohoo: My mom lives in Las Vegas NM and I promised her a visit this summer. I'll be riding my Voyager XII then, but it's an old one! Maybe just ride along with some others.

I had the same attitude. Still do. I registered just to read what WendyS had put up. I prefer to keep most if not all communication here on the forum so all can see whats going on and contribute more to the planning.
We'll get you in there somehow.

Thanks for getting back to me, Leon. There's a huge hole in the map between you and Houston where we have 2 riders. Could you get down that way some distance? The next stop after Houston is 848 miles to Albuquerque NM.

Baja Oklahoma I like that. :) I'm considering options to that long run down to Houston. Maybe meet gravit8 from Albuqurque in Amarillo or something like that. Then figure out how to get the Houston guys involved. :S Sure is a lot of acreage down there. Makes one think of moving to Connecticut. :woohoo:
