LOL.  Yeh.  I've been eating Advil like candy and trying to pull my thoughts together in an acceptable presentation.  Hoping to post my rambling thoughts as well as ride synopsis tomorrow.

For now I will say that if you ever get a chance to ride through WV, do it.  Cold as hell or not it is some of the nicest riding I've seen.  Even the interstates are curvy (leaning at 15 degrees doing 80 on a 38 year old 500 is FUN).

I'll be posting this link on the official rider's log page as well but it's pretty long so I don't think I'll include the entire thing.  Also, pics will be coming but I haven't gotten that addressed just yet.

Great read, nice job!

Next year, the Rally should be in summer so you can really enjoy the ride.

Is it just me, or does that link look suspicious?

Bender, did you mean to post that without explaination or do you have a virus maybe?

What do you have to do?

Will you show me all of them?
Sure.

Hey Team SE Coastal!!

Again, a well done leg and what a GREAT way to show the rest of us how it's done! 

I do have a favor to ask.  I've put together a tracker/scheduler located here:

http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=86686.0

When you have a moment, could you help me convert the ESTIMATED miles to ACTUAL miles?  The numbers I have there are based on what Google said and that's prolly highway point-to-point miles.  What I'm wanting to capture are ZILLA-miles, the actual miles Godzilla rode between way points.

No hurry, but I would like History to credit y'all for every Zilla-mile you rode!

Just a friendly reminder that I'd like to get your actual Zilla Miles so that we can total up how far the G-man has traveled!

Just took a look at the Godzilla Schedule to see the updates. You guys have not reported in your miles to OldSchool_IsCool. We'd like to get current. Can you guys get that info to OldSchool please? Did you enter it into the log book also?

Thanks guys. You kicked this little ride off in grand fashion and set the standard for all that follow!

What I'm tracking is the number of Zilla Miles... that is, how far did Godzilla travel between way points.  There are more threads out there for TOTAL miles each rider rode, from your doorstep back to your doorstep.  There are also threads for anyone riding door-to-door for 500-999 miles and the 1000+ mile club too!!

Thanks Breeze!  Do you know how many Zilla Miles Sean rode from Walnut Creek to Farmington?  I can add those two numbers together to gat an "official" daily mile total.  Thanks again!
