Hotel information will be listed on a separate thread for each leg, as soon as the leg captains confirm the locations and get the information to me. Soon! Yes, a huge thanks to ALL the leg captains.

As the safety and health are top priority of all of our members and their riders, the Board of Directors has decided to not hold the annual V2V relay in 2020. I, along with most, are disappointed. The complexity of this event, passing through many states, and the individual area guidelines for the pandemic, complicates the planning. I would like to make a somewhat virtual V2V. If members will send pictures to me, with specific location details, from along the normal V2V route, I hope to post a collage for each leg. Of course with lots of help and support of the members. I loo

The decision is scheduled for tonight, at the Board meeting.

Greetings, Leg details, hotel information, all the pertinent stuff will be posted soon. Please understand, this relay is still on a hold due to the National shutdown. Hopefully, a decision will be made to go or no go 5-13-20. In the meantime, with the information Amanda has compiled, look at your schedules and the proposed areas/routes and develop a plan.

We are underway with the planning for the 2020 V2V. We have some amazing volunteers that have stepped up to be your Leg Captains. Here are the 13 legs, dates and leg captains. The destinations are planned as close as possible to the original Victory Highway. V2V 2020 Leg Date Start Point End Point Leg Captain 1 6/22/2020 San Francisco Reno

Thanks Candi, I am working on this today. Please send PM's, post in this thread and by all means, respond to the emails that will be sent soon. Viv

You are correct in the need for criteria. I also think this lack of required information is another reason many proposals are not submitted. Also correct in previous samples doesn't work! I believe your input will be missed.

What good is a committee of several, when the decisions are made from few? That's what I mean.

As a RR from SC, I would be honored to help with this event. The "usual" route goes through Missouri and Kansas and those states are part of South Central Region.
