psimpson Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Ray: What time do you plan on arriving in Wilcon? Any other riders coming with that you know of? As I may have stated My house is only a few miles from Wilson and has a great view of the lake. Four guest rooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Could someone please clarify if we are staying in Wilson or Russell? There is conflicting info in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psimpson Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Its a long story but Russell is the place, i'm still going to be at Wilson that night and have maybe one room left at the moment. I've had 3 requests so know I have 1 left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Is Spike still the road captain for this leg? Haven't seen/heard from him on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCImoneyman Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Greg Heim broke two bones in his left leg this morning in a motorcycle accident. This leg is cancelled, good luck getting the baton to Russell, KS. Just kidding, Greg did break his leg, but I have volunteered to captain the leg. Waiting to hear back from the Chairman if this is okay. We'll get the baton to Russell. I went to see Greg and we are planning to meet after his surgery. We'll still have a great time, and raise a couple to Greg at the end of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbrutus Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 WOW. Sorry to hear this. A speedy recovery to you Greg. Heal fast and hope to see you on the road. A big thanks to MCImoneyman(Rick Fortner) for stepping up at the last minute. Thanks again Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psimpson Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Wow what a deal, yesterday was one year since my accident and I had to bow out. Looks like we are going to meet after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 HotWheels and I will see you Thursday evening. Looking forward to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCImoneyman Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 A very HISTORICAL site is being added to the ride! As far as I know, this site has not ever been visited on the V2V on the Veterans Leg. This will not add more than 15 minutes to the ride. The site honors all branches of the armed services and POW-MIA's. Plus there is a memorial that is very hard to believe to be found in Topeka, KS. I would guess 80% of the people living in Topeka are not even aware of this landmark. For those of you close enough to meet us, I will post an easy spot for us to find you, and easy for you to find on the East side of Topeka. We'll definitely take pictures to share with others. I am sure future Veterans Leg Captains will include this site on future rides, it is that cool. Done with the teaser. Next post will be about where to meet the riders on Friday. Oh, and I am talking to that politician brother-in-law of mine about having a special guest meet us there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
