109 baton pass across America

How about a relay across the country by members of the forum here? The baton consisting of a tube with a piece of paper that contains the name/screen name of every member participating. Has to be done on the bike, not the car.


Starting on one side or the other, a rider or group of riders run a couple hundred miles with the baton, meet with a new rider, enjoy a meet up, have a bite, and a visit. Sign the baton, say good bys and continue on the journey.


Getting a pic of the riders and posting it on the forum telling of their experience for the day.
At the end, the screen names and miles ridden can be posted on the forum.


To even add a little to it could be to put a dime a mile in that you rode into a kitty to be used as a 50/50 raffle among the participants, and the other half going to a charity of some kind.


There doesn’t need to be a time limit since it would take everyone getting a time to meet the next rider along the way.
Could do it going north and south too.


It would be a good excuse to get out and go for a ride and meet someone face to face that you only see on a screen otherwise.


Just wanting to know if there is any interest since there are members here that are all over the place.

Baton

a big thanks to Dave for coming up with this idea.

As for Baton it would be nice to have it pass from place to place to country to country and over the continent. We could run few at same time but then each one will have a baton ( not a bad deal ) but then it gets limited. Or we could come up with 3-4 different batons and name them East West North South or Ozy, Brit etc. But if we stick with one it makes it that much nicer and unique.

Maybe a small Book for signatures and a wooden roll. Just small enough to roll into a jacket sort of thing.

We can say PAY IT FORWARD is going it may be slow at times but its moving. Hell withthe love for riding peeps have here i think we will add some serious mileage on this.

I thank you Dave for allowing me to start this from north that is such a kind gesture of you. Ill pass it on to great Nemo down to US to continue its journey down south and away. If all is good i am looking for something that is unique in cyclindrical form.

Will post as soon as i get something if i cant find anything i will carve out a wood stick with Joe's 109r logo.:D:D
