Dude, that's what the interweb is for! No need to be spending all that time suiting up and riding around... :lol:

I had the pleasure of some tech time with Ed Phelps today...he'll be at the meeting with the ride program details.

Let me see if I can remember the title correctly. The American Wandering Sequential Highway Id Tour.

I really didn't want to steal Ed and Barb's thunder so they'll have to explain the rules.

Hey Ed, say you're at the intersection of US 82 & 83 or some road section with multiple route numbers, can you take one pic and count both roads or do you want a separate pic for each #?

So are the rules posted anywhere yet? Thursday and Friday are going to be awfully nice! (For those of us who are retired.) :twisted:

Those of us who work on Route 1, live off Route 3, and are close to Route 2 are curious, too :D

If you want a number, you need to send Ed a PM and tell him what number you want. Barb also had some choices - there are nylon flags and the paper, laminated kind so you can choose what kind you want. I THINK she's going to put the numbers together for the participants and leave them at the house so we can just swing by and pick them up. I believe the contest starts, March 1 thru November 30. IFFFF she does leave them at the house, there's a good chance I might swing by and them up. I'll find out for sure and post here.

I have some questions for Ed & Barb as well - we're all so anxious to get started!!!
1) If you have a state route 3 and a state business route 3, can you take pics of both for credit? Or are we only allowed one version of each number?
2) Confirm that state routes, US roads and interstates are eligible. Are numbered county routes allowed?
3) Confirm bike AND flag/placard must be in picture.

Thanks!

I've already listed all the state route options by county for efficient hunting. :mrgreen:

Those of us who take a PTO day Thursday are planning to enjoy it as well. :wink: But no hunting just yet...

AWSHIDT


Okay, just so you know we aren't ignoring you and your questions and requests. Very good remembering about the title by the way. Outstanding !! Don't forget the "D".

Barb is working on the numbers as you read this and I am working on all the final stages and rules for posting.

We will have the rules done and be ready to answer your questions by the end of the week. We would like to send out by way of email any updates or changes so we need current email addresses for you. We found out last year that we had left out those that didn't get in the chat room and that just isn't fair.

So hang in there a couple more days and get your route numbers in order while we connive :twisted: on how to mess with your mind.

Enjoy
