Hi all as President of Pure Freedom Victory Riders New Zealand I am now involved in the organization of our charity event here in Christchurch. At a recent meeting with the other organizers I was presented with a picture book that was made up of last year's event. Here is a picture of some members who was on this run. This year is going to be a bigger event with a bigger ride around the suburbs so people can see what bikes do for their community's there is going to be bigger prices and give aways for the people that are on the ride so looking forward to this day.

It is time to start preparations for V2V 2023! It will be the Twenty Third run of this VMC event. I am honored to be the coordinator. Securing leg captains is the first step in planning this event. If enough leg captains volunteer, we will proceed with planning this event. Leg captains are responsible for planning the route, choosing a hotel, as well as selecting gas and lunch/dinner stops. If you are interested in being a leg captain or assisting with a leg, please reach out. In 1921 the Victory Highway Association was organized The Associations purpose was to create a transcontinental highway in honor of the men and women who served in WWI. The route later became known as Route 40. Now, more than 100 years later, parts of the original Route 40 have been replaced with interstate roads and other highways. The 13 leg relay will run from west to east this year. The information below suggests approximate start stop points. The start and end destinations of each leg are up to the leg captains.

I'm going to assume that if i reserve a room that i can cancel before a certain date and get refunded?

I think we’re waiting on Vivian - Pushstart - to put them up. Needs to get done pretty quick. Both Kelley and Rose deferred to her. I sent her a text yesterday and have still not heard back. Even if no leg captain yet - leg threads should be up already.

I just noticed we don't have any Leg-specific threads for the 2023 V2V, or did I not go to the right place?

Staying where in Richfield, Durango and Canon City? Want to get reservations in.

When are they posting the leg details? Hotel space shrinks fast in some places. Would like to make reservations as soon as possible.

What a wonderful heart you have for this. Great to see you all outpouring in your community.

Rooms at the Jailhouse Casino in Ely are going FAST!!!!!!!!

John and I have decided to take a more southerly (Highway 50) route through Colorado and Kansas. Dodge City will offer a new stop complete with gunfights,beer and whiskey. If you want to know where steaks come from, and don't mind the smell, we can leave through a fairly large feedlot on the edge of town. Then Mullinville will offer a suprise along the road. As we travel east, we will go through the Flint Hills, another scenic drive. Although John will still have me beat with the road from Durango, eventually getting to Canon City. https://www.visitdodgecity.org/246/Main-Street-Dodge-City

Ok, yes, going all the way through downtown around rush hour wasn't too bad but I did get off at the wrong exit and got kind of turned around. I'll start looking at routes again prior to that work training I have, because once that starts I won't have much free time.
