Meet the Riders

I talked to Chris and Jon about meeting them in Portage la Prairie and riding in with them as they completed their last of the Big Idea. Unfortunately I will be unable to do this because I will be out marking the course for Where's the Beach? In Stead race and running the Wednesday Night Series race at Bur Oak.

I encourage anyone who has the time to go out and meet them and join them as they roll into Winnipeg - it would be a great way to congratulate them as the finish up 4 very hard days and nights of riding.

The timing for PLP may be bad, but I am going to try for the Legislature, at least.
Our boys are doing awesome, by the way. They're already less than 6 and a half hours back of Arvid, and holding an amazing average speed. I think a pass may occur before the SK/MB border.

What is the ETA at the Leg?

It might be too soon to tell, but they're pretty much half way now. That took 36 hours, so roughly Wednesday morning?
They're nearly to Medicine Hat, and they're FLYING! Getting faster as they go.

I would love meet them and do a bit of riding. If anyone else is in, I would make the effort to find some childcare. Let me know.

It's the Butter Belts.

TNRendezvous? Sounds like they are thinking they will be in Winnipeg sometime early Wednesday morning. I might be up for meeting them on the road. Depends on the timing.

Oddly enough, the middle of the night would work for me.

I could do that. I guess we'll keep an eye on those updates.

I'm in for the middle of the night.

Laura said she could transport some of us out.

Let me know.

Hal,
That would be great. Leaving a vehicle for future recovery was a bit of a worry. Have you got room? You can call me: 2320230
