Guest Guest Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Well it's that time again - time to start thinking about what legs of the Victory Highway you are going to be riding this year. It should be bigger and better than ever being the 10th annual Victory Highway Relay. Pretty friggin unbelievable eh? 10th annual? I'll be your Jayhawker Leg Captain from KC to Wilson this year and instead of being 'the guy' for the V2V, I've asked several folks to share the responsibilities this time to make it a better experience than ever. So we've got Patti, Fishwitch, Ross and Big Bob all sharing the load to make this year really great - please give them all the cooperation you have given me over the years and this year will be mind blowing. So still feel free to think of me as the go to guy, but don't be surprised when a 'go to' team member hits you back instead of me. For all you new folks - you have GOT to check out the V2V - I just posted a little history of the V2V and what it's all about in the Events section - go check it out and start making your plans. See you on the Victory Highway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PATTI Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Anyone willing to "step up" and be a leg captain, please pm myself (PATTI) or Ross (rt50484) and we will set it up. Thanks and we will see you all on the V2V!! Patti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakey53 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 HI Spike!Still can't forget the MITM>What a bash!I almost won loudest pipes!Not anymore,stock 08 Pin.Hope we can make it! shakey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hey Shakey, I hope you can make it too! We'll never forget the MITM either, that's for sure - and neither will our neighbors. How long has it been and when we meet people on our road we haven't met before, they always say- oh, the bikers! Maybe that's not ONLY because of the MITM, but that always comes up. Hey, you live in a town of only 3500 folks and that's how you are known from then on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakey53 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Come HELL or HIGH WATER,we gonna make it!!! shakey Shakey, ignore the "Edited by Roadrunner" note. I didn't edit anything. Somehow, when I tried to QUOTE your post - my text ended up IN your post. I suspect I hit the wrong button. -M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Thanks Kozy - I have tried really hard to point out that it has always been the great leg captains that have made the Victory Highway Relay so good - not me. It's also what I tried to do when we first started this club - get people smarter than me and use them as a human shield :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockbase Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 would be cool if time permits this ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishWitch Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hey Roadrunner! Now you know what to put in the "Bag". A Jar of Mississippi Mud! Hopefully you won't have to be on Storm Watch this year!!! Or any of us for that matter!!! On last years Oakland to Reno leg, we encounter horrendous thunder & lightening storms which ended up setting almost all of Northern California on fire. Although we didn't know it at the time, I ended up riding thru the fire zone daily getting to & from work. Good thing the Vicsters are a tuff bunch!!! :bm I refuse to let it rain on my parade!!! :dp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBob Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Leg captains needed for legs 4, 5, 11, and 12 Also please verify all leg captains in the V2V forums. Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishWitch Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I have also noticed little or no info on a few of the legs. If the Leg Captains could please update it would be appreciated. ALSO!! I would like to put together an actual route map this year according to each leg that is downloadable to all members. I have Mapsource from Garmin. If you only have a Google Map I can transfer it into another file as well as link the Google. This being the 10th Anniversary of the V2V, I'm working on a few other goodies! There are a lot of Vintage V2V items available at the The VMC Store. Shirts & pins will be available soon. I'll post when they are. This year they will be available thru The VMC Store! Super easy!

FishWitch Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 V2V X shirts and pins will be here soon!!! Keep your eyes peeled. They will be sold thru the The VMC Store. All the proceeds for the V2V shirts and pins will be going to Susan G. Komen for the TaTas and this year we are adding the Victory Junction Gang to our support list! Also, there is a lot of old V2V memorabelia available!! Even if you weren't there, these are collectors items. If you were there, these are MUST HAVES. Check out your local areas and get your resies in now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Anyone impacted by a change to Leg 8, check out the latest post in the Leg 8 thread in the Events/V2V thread. Basically, the change is the Western terminus. Due to the closing of the Midland Hotel in Wilson, we are moving the Western end point of Leg 8 25 miles West to Russell, KS. This isn't huge, but it will help the longest leg a little bit. Hotel name and details posted in the Leg 8 thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishWitch Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Shirts & Pins are now available thru The VMC Store
