playboy Posted April 10, 2012 Share #76 Posted April 10, 2012 Confused as to why the north captain is worried about Arkansas. Does the north team not try for the north states and south for the south. Nope, each team needs to get all lower 48 states. So is does not matter what state you live in or what team you are on. The object is to get all of the 48 states first. So a person must decided and then go from there. Now if everyone would prefer I can divide up the states to 24 apiece and we can move on from there I see said the blind man. Make sense to me now and I'm not trying to change the game in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twigg Posted April 10, 2012 Share #77 Posted April 10, 2012 I also understood that all 48 ... it should really be 49, were required by both teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twigg Posted April 10, 2012 Share #79 Posted April 10, 2012 Thinking Alaska or the Island. Alaska for sure. I wouldn't be opposed to adding Hawaii, but it adds a dimension that most of us can never really achieve. The Haul Road, otoh, is on my Bucket List.

Skid Posted April 10, 2012 Share #80 Posted April 10, 2012 I live where there was once a great division, but I will make it easy and side with my SOUTHERN hospitality. I would be be willing to do West Virginia and the bluegrass state of Kentucky. SOUTH for me. Only thing is, I have to be fully recovered from my left shoulder surgery and get my tires on my bike. This should be taking place with in or by the end of May, first part of June. Sounds like fun, so if my surgery would not cause a problem, then count on me. Fuzzy Hey, are you taking my territory?

FuzzyRSTD Posted April 10, 2012 Share #81 Posted April 10, 2012 Hey, are you taking my territory? Nope not me, just an offer to get it since it is so close for me. Figure I wont be, or could afford to, do any long runs after shoulder heals up and finally get back to work. No problem neighbor. Get it if you like. Just an early offer.

ragtop69gs Posted April 17, 2012 Share #82 Posted April 17, 2012 So where we at with the game ? Does the South team have any targets yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted April 17, 2012 Share #83 Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) So where we at with the game ? Does the South team have any targets yet? My apologies. I'm running behind as usual, but my new shoes is on and I'm ready to get crankin'. Since I'm right here at Montgomery thought I'd start there. If some one wants to meet me in one of my neighboring states for the hand off let me know and I'll make travel plans accordingly.

RedRider Posted April 17, 2012 Share #86 Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Alaska for sure. I wouldn't be opposed to adding Hawaii, but it adds a dimension that most of us can never really achieve. The Haul Road, otoh, is on my Bucket List. I got Alaska covered this July. Only doing the Dalton up to the Arctic Circle though. Deadhorse just seems to be a BTDT type destination. Don't want to run 750-800 miles of gravel on the Venture just to get the T-Shirt. Did I mention that gravel and the Venture don't get along? (Or maybe they get along too well. The Venture likes to lay down with the gravel.) Now, if I took the KLR...... (but dang, that BB2k to get home would hurt).

RedRider Posted April 17, 2012 Share #87 Posted April 17, 2012 Oh wait, I just read the rules. You can't get to the capital of Alaska via roads (did you know that?). Don't have time on our trip to take the ferry. I'm out for Alaska. Dang. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick some knobblies on the VR and just go do it ps ... Gold Wings have made the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, so have Hardleys and John Ryan on an FJR (I think that masochist from Florida did it on a Ningette or a Honda 125). It is my lack of skills in the gravel combined with insufficient desire to go there. Not worth the risk. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmj423 Posted April 17, 2012 Share #90 Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Better put me on the NORTH team to even things back out. I can hit St. Paul, MN. if nobody else can. Bill Since I am new to this group and would love to meet some new people I can take the baton from you and do MN, then pass it to Iowa or one of the Dakotas. Jet let me know when you get you hands on it. Edited April 17, 2012 by pmj423 spelling errors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both teams have to do the Lower 48 .. all of them. Last I heard we were discussing whether or not to include Alaska ... If we do, then both teams will need to get it.
