Re: KZR North American Relay Ride North West Leg
02 May 2014 05:52The best answer I have at the moment Ed id that Toolmaker didn't move it this week. So I have been trying to set up a meet with Schuss. Looks like I very well will be riding to Seattle and Back over the weekend. To be confirmed still with Schuss. He has a family Birthday party to attend on Sunday. So I may ride up Saturday, meet before the party on Sunday, then ride back to Bend.650ed wrote:Motor Head wrote:Any update on going to meet Schuss?toolmaker wrote: It looks like we will get the flag moving next week if all goes well.

Since the back country route is still closed, and rain is predicted for the west side of the Cascades, I may ride east, then up over I-90 into Seattle. Longer, but probably much drier. Probably 45 miles of Slab riding each way. Not to bad. It will be a solo ride for me each way. Everyone seems to have commitments this weekend. Vintage MX for my regular riding buddy.

Looks like it's all set, ride to Seattle Saturday, back Sunday. meet schuss in Issaquah Sunday morning for breakfast. Route to be decided, but looks like the east route I mentioned due to rain forecast in the west.
I've got a good contact with Slayer61 down in Lodi, for the next hand off. To be set up yet.

Re: KZR North American Relay Ride North West Leg
04 May 2014 15:58Yes sir. Sure did. Just got back and took a nice hot shower. Weather wasn't bad just cool, cloudy and windy. Had some rain on I-90 at Issaquah up over the pass. Also a few spots on the way home. Temps ranged from 38-58 degrees, so not to bad. I meet Schuss for breakfast this morning at 8am, at the IHOP in Issaquah, then headed back. Roughly 750 mile weekend. KZ ran great with 0 issues. Didn't really track the mileage like usual, just about two tanks of fuel each way. That's the 5 gallon one i added last fall off of a shaft drive model, mines the LTD, which had a 4 gallon tank.riturbo wrote: So did this meet up happen?
Schuss had the waitress take a couple of photos of us at the IHOP, so he'll have to post those.
So the Flag is Now in bend Oregon again.

Once I set up a meet with Slayer61 down in CA, it will move to him next. Unless someone else steps up to take it,or move it.

Thats strange, it is orientated correctly in the file. But loaded sideways here?
