That's what I'm thinking too Brooze ;D

I guess I need to brush myself up with the beast's timeline and current location.

I would expect this relay rally to approach Michigan from New England. We are loosly following the order of the 1st relay, looking to wrap up in the PNW.

I've made some suggestions to gold that should make the team 5 and 6 member maps a little more clear. Team 5 will end in Boston, and team 6 will begin there. Team 6 appears to have a large concentration of riders in a relatively small area. I wish we had that many riders in the west. ;)

Team 6, per the map, I am located in central(ish) Iowa... I would be willing to go 200 miles (or so) in any direction, even into adjoining states if necessary.  But for me, I need to know pretty well in-advance so I can forcast time off.  Military duties and Sturgis will kill late July and the first week of August for me.  Otherwise I'll do wall I can.  I have managed to MISS the last two runs, and would love to take part in this one.

Truth-be-told, I'd probably be willing to farther than 200 miles...  :o  I just have no idea where i'd be going or when.   ::)  Patience is a virtue I guess.

I'm in western NY, I did about 1500 miles total the first year, I don't think I have time for that much this year, but I'm not afraid to ride. I would be willing to put up anyone traveling through, too, got a big half empty house, kids grown and gone.

I'm in North West Ohio right along Lake Erie. I can't figure out if I'm in Team 5 or Team 6. I missed the first 2 tours and don't want to miss this one. Can someone please let me know which team I should be monitoring? Thanks.

You are right at the tail end of 5 beginning of 6 based on the proposed route.

You could ride west to meet with the team 5 guys, or east and hook with team 6 and ride up into Michigan.

You are in Team 6. Here is a link to the team 6 riders map; these are the "dots" that need to be connected, from East to West.
