Darryl,
Mike may not be carrying the flag. He is working 12 hour days. I did offer to carry the flag to Boise so he can take part and at least ride out of town with me for an hour or so. I'm still waiting to hear back.
If this happens how close cane you get to Boise? I'm thinking next weekend will work for me if you can make it happen. I work 4-9pm tonight you can call me before or after or during the weekend. I PM'd you my contact information.

Lets plan 2 routes. One with Boise, ID and one some where between the two of us. Im in Missoula MT. Where in Oregon are you coming from? Are you taking it to WA afterwards?

Bend, Oregon
2 routes, sure. Lets try to get Mike involved. If that falls through we can have a back up plan/ route. Now that I know which weekend, I can get sometime off. See who wants to also ride along etc. Maybe Toolmaker wants to come from Portland? Maybe Bill/ KZCSI may be able to get away for the ride. Who knows.

So riders interested in Oregon. Please let me know if you would like to be part of this relay ride.
Saturday the 17th, this next week. Ride from Bend, to Boise. Then if you desire, ride up into the corner of Washington, then back to Bend from the north. Its the ride I posted already.
Now we are also going to plan another route. If we are Not going to be able to meet with Mike in Boise, we will most likely have a more northerly route there also. This back up route is currently in the works and I'll post it soon.

Something like this?

This was the original plan I posted before

Current weather forecast is for clear and in the 80's. Sweet. Come on guys, lets ride!

Both routes look like fun, I wish I could join you guys .

Fantastic! I can't wait. This will be a great ride either route.

Me too. That's an ambitious ride. The short route looks like well over 500 miles. You gonna do that in 1 day?
You guys out west are doing a great job moving the flag(s). Get them down to So. Cal before the snow flies in No. Arizona and I'll grab up OMR in Phoenix and go to the Four Corners with him. :woohoo: I'm heading down to New Mexico in early Oct.

Tom, remember were heading towards each other. So maybe like 3-400 at the farthest in one direction. I'm camping out, then riding more, camping, riding, to bad i have to come back. :lol:

Fantastic routes! I was looking at the first shorter route and even that one goes through three national forests. The one through Clearwater National Forest follows the river through the big part of that forest until the river ends (or where it begins I guess). Would have loved to make this ride. Get lots of pictures. Are you guys planning on camping a night? Watch out for the Moose. Ride safe.

It is a bit of a ride but that what life is like in the Northwest. You don't really notice it because there is so much beautiful scenery. Forrest rode 940 miles to bring the flag to WY on his 650. If he can do that I can handle another 400-500 mile trip. We have a new member from Polson, MT that may also be joining me for part of the as long as we can get his bike sorted out this weekend.

Hopefully we will be meeting up with Mike in Boise. So I've planned to Camp here at this park not far out of town and on the Snake River. If its full, I'll find my own spot.

Then if we go to Lewiston area, well Hells Gate is a big park.
