Your playing my tune Greg .

I got ambitious yesterday so in between volunteer work for everyone else I managed to swap out the chain and sprockets , now all I have to do is finish cleaning the rim and it's going back on for an afternoon ride.

JD, how are you liking the new chain? I wiped off the packing grease on mine and used the Dupont Teflon Chain lube on it. You may get some initial stretch for the first 50 mi and need readjustment.

Well the flag is officially in Illinois! Couldn't have asked for better weather, especially in December. It's currently 71 degrees in St. Louis.

Met ghotrodr down close to the arch for the handoff and tried the best we could to get some pics of our bikes near it. Due to the Rams game, traffic was a little crazy. Now to see if I can get ahold of ready2ryde1984 to see if, well... their ready to ride. If not, it looks like you're next, Rainman.

Gateway to the west, very cool. I like that we get pictures of landmarks now and then. Some places everybody knows. Shots like that will look good on the poster. ;)

Good work, guys. Snarky since you didn't go far to meet Greg, you'll be riding all the way to Rainmans cave, right? :lol: I hope this great weather holds out for you guys.

20 minute rides are about my max :P

Just responded to a PM from Rainman and we are going to try and get together during the week while the weather is still nice. Looks like we only live a couple of hours from each other, so we should be able to hook up fairly easily.

Realize this is a little late, but if this flag hasn't come through Vancouver yet and you'd like it to, there's a willing 81 kz1000 ready to take it for a spin.

Saw this posted on reddit adn came here right away to find out. There's a lot of replies so going through them now, just wanted to throw this out there.

Cheers

You're not kidding. The Toys for Tots Parade had 63,000 bikes officially. (Many more jump in unnoficially along the route). That's a new record.

2 hours into it, only about 1/3 of the bikes actually were rolling.

Also, confirmed Lower Wacker is fully open. B)

Relay Flag will be moving again this weekend, Friday and Saturday.
Will be meeting Snarky30 in Hardin,IL (along the Illinois river) on Friday about 11:00 AM.
Will be passing it off to BlueJ58 at the Rice Lake Conservation Area (along the Illinois river again) south of Peoria Saterday about 12:00PM Noon. Planning on hitting Keokuk,IA to cover that state.
Lets hope the weather holds out.
