So who wants to meet up where???

Wow.  In my questionable judgement you're over planning this thing!  Hope you have a great ride.  I did something similar years ago but rode to the Mippippissi from the West side.  I read a book by Eddie Harris about his canoe trip down the Mi...aw heck with it. That river.  He started way up in Minnesota I think and canoe'd all the way to the gulf.

eh, the overplaning is because of time. if i had all the time in the world, it owuldnt matter. but because my friend needs to be back on sunday night no matter what the make the beast with two backs, and the shuttle launch is pretty much going to be set in stone as well (pending weather but in april i doubt it will be a problem, so it would only come down to technical difficulties.)

I went to Algiers in 1981 .It was pretty rough. Spent all night in the back of police car which I drunkenly mistook for a cab........I had a blast hanging out with the two funniest cops in New Orleans..... [thumbsup]

details details??? date? Location? i have to see if we can make it on our 9days. lol Its a LONG stretch.


I'm going to need to find a place to ship a tire to so i can get it changed a long the way. I want the PR3 but all the shops i asked wanted $300 for the tire installed....My rim is completely scratched up from the trackcrash i had, so i dont need a fancy tire changer, a car changer can do it for $20 bucks, ill be fine, ive done it before.

So The first stop will be in ROCKVILLE MARYLAND! My buddy will be joining us i think he just registered his bike.

Anyone in the DC Area is welcome to join! We will be making our way somewhere in DC for a drink and some food.
