I'm embarrassed to say that it wasn't in fact a virus rather my son. He spilled a drink on the keyboard and it shorted out. Now, I just need to replace it.
More good times to come.
So many firsts with this child bring me back to my childhood. This morning the first was that he zipped up and well... You get the picture. I remember that moment in time.

This is the first video again.
It's the ride in Chicago 4/14/13.
This is the Chicago IL to Kenosha WI video. 4/21/13.
Saxjonz carried the flag.
I compressed a 1 hour ride into about 15 minutes, so it's like going at 250 mph.
It gets really moving around 4:50

Look out son, I see spots. The lines on the road just look like dots. :woohoo: :woohoo:
Made me think of the song,'Hot Rod Lincoln'.
I was just down that way again today. Went to Sears at Gurnee Mills to pick up a cargo box for my bike trailer.
Great video! Wanna ride to MN, ND, SD, and IA next week? I'm going if the weather cooperates. Gotta move the flag.

Thanks guys. 
Sorry Tom, I'd love to, but I don't think I'll be getting much time off from chores etc. Still have to put my Dad's basement back together.
Is there anyone straight up in Canada? Hell they are probably still getting snow.

I've gotten a request or two for another run of KZ Relay Ride t-shirts. I'll need to pull together 10-20 shirts to make it cost effect to place the order.
Shirts will be $20 shipped to the lower 48 states. XXL is $2 more. That just covers the costs of the shirts, if I make any money, it goes to kzrider.com
PM me with size, mens or ladies, and I'll send you payment instructions.

cregmanz is up in Winnepeg and would cover Saskatchewan but is in Europe for the month of May.I don't think waiting a month is a good idea. There is too much ground to cover out west. I can make the ride in 2 or 3 days, no problem.
