Looks like a great ride route. Thats a beautiful part of a beautiful country. Glad you're getting that opportunity.

We're heading to the Rockies instead of south trying to stay in the cooler climates. Last time we were in the Smokeys it was hotter than blue blazes.

Keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up!

Getting things ready to meet up with René and the Red Baret Riders this Thursday. Will be passing off the Mascot. Anyone who wants to meet up with them can visit with the Mascot and sign. Not sure who they will pass the Mascot to but there is still plenty of time left.

Nantahala here we come...

Rene,
Is the plan to take the mascot to Europe? I'm not even sure of the rules now days but i guess being stored on the bike and travel by container ship would qualify....

if no one can schedule a handoff before your return to Amsterdam I can meet you all again in Hagerstown MD on Sunday 9 June. It's about a 4 hour ride so just let me know via email if you need to hand off.

Mike

I gave it to him today... They are in Chattanooga headed to Alabama tomorrow then headed back north. They have limited WiFi and cell service at best. I'm sure he will find a way to respond. Just got a video call from him a few minutes ago.

Today Dave handed off the Mascot to me. It was great meeting and riding with him.
@ Mike: good idea to meet in Hagerstown and hand off the Mascot to you. I'll pm you where we stay...

Update for those that want to move the mascot.

Current location. Roanoke Va.

I am willing to travel up to 4 hours in any direction. Since it is early in the Weekend Warrior riding season, i would think someone would want to take it North, however first one to make plans will receive the Mascot.
