Re: [emrat:6097] Three Flags Info

I plan on going too. As I understand it, last years event was the farthest east that the ride has ever been so don't hold your breath waiting for another one through Nebraska. I am figuring on a full 2 weeks to do this ride, mostly because its so far west. I've been wanting to ride through that area for years and this looks like a great way to do it. 

As for the route Norm, they do a lot of scouting trips in preparation for the event. Most of the riders have a simple mantra, "Ride the Route". I know that they are looking for the best roads out there, and since they're a California based club this is their backyard so to speak. I will likely follow the route too, as the one we rode last year was pretty nice. I did veer off but only a couple of times for roads that I prefer to ride. Like Bob said as long as you hit the check points you can change it as you see fit. I'd bet that they will have a good one figured out though.

Hope to see you there!

Maybe this is an alternative:

 

The Riders Association 2015 Rally is in Harrison, AR, 850 miles away, Oct 1-4.  An opportunity to run the Serpent, AR 123.  There's Springfield, MO, home of the Bass Pro Shops too.  With apologies to Dan, the only issue is riding across Kansas to get there.

Dang, seems like they're taking an even farther West route than they did last year.  Would love to do this run but I can't take the time.  2 days just to get to the starting point and 2 days from the end to get home is just a little too much for me. 

 

I'm hoping maybe next year they'll go with a more "Central" alignment like the one that Steve and Tim did a couple of years ago.

Hi guys and gals:

 

Registration for the Three Flags Classic opens at 12:01 AM, January 1^st.  It goes from Tijuana to Victoria Island leaving the Friday before Labor Day and ending Tuesday night with the banquet.  The fee is $295 per rider.  Registration will include assigning a number and the cap is 300.  This is the 40^th annual.

 

Route is not listed yet on the Forum but preliminary info says it looks like they will not ride long in Calif, I-15 out of San Diego, west to US 395N to Reno.  Then it gets better including going thru John Day, OR to Idaho.  Estimates are 22-2300 miles (not including coming and going).

 

From those of you who went before, what does the fee cover?

 

Who is in?  Will Dan host us in Seattle before returning?

 

Norm
