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
Chris

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.

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.

Talked to Rainman last night and he is now in possession of the flag , it is back home in Quincy IL.
( where it was made )
From what I hear it was a cold/ wet day, thanks for taking one for the team Jim and Snarky
With a high of 46 today and a chance of more precipitation/sleet we decided to postpone our rendezvous
until a later date, sorry guys
Sunday is supposed to be even worse , colder and 90 percent chance of rain.
So for now it looks like we will have to wait and see .

Oh man. Cold doesn't even begin to describe it. Apparently I don't have the ability to dress warm enough for a wet December day. Thankfully it wasn't raining, but there was a heavy fog that soaked my clothes and the 40 degree weather didn't help. When I pulled up to Rainman, I thought I was going to look like Harry and Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber (See attached Pic)
It's a good thing we like you guys so much

It seemed like the flag took forever to get here and it left so quick. Glad I was able to take part in it. Thanks for the opportunity everybody. I'll keep following the thread to get all of the flag updates.
