Hello Kitty Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hello all, New member to this board, probably know a few of you from the BMWBMW board. I'm attempting a 100 CCC starting in JAX on Sunday, March 2nd around 8 AM. Anyone available to witness for me? You all know the drill, prefer LEO or other public official, notary, judge, firefighter, etc. "Les_is_more" and "KMG_365" are kindly supporting me on the other side. I plan to be back in JAX on Thursday, March 6th late morning to noon time. If any appropriate witnesses are available, GREAT! If not, I can hit the Fire Department or Police Station or Honda of Jacksonville. Also, if anyone might be willing to let me crash in their garage or living room floor Thursday morning if I'm exhausted, that would be most welcome as well! I'm leaving Baltimore on Friday, well, near Fed Ex Field where my office is anyway, and don't have internet access. I know, last minute, but that's kinda my nature! Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer! Link to comment
FrankBrown Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 The annual IBA party is happening Friday March 7-8 at the Ramada just east of Jax at I295, exit 5 (San Jose Blvd), with over 300 IBA members there. I sure many will be there early for Bike Week. Put your request on the LD Riders email list and you should get the help you're looking for. Too bad I wont be there til Friday the 7th; late afternoon. Good luck and ride safe. Link to comment
Calvin (no socks) Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I live in Neptune Beach, you can start there and take Atlantic Boulevard in to Jax, and the start of the I-10 slab... PM me for cell I live 1/2 mile to Ocean... Link to comment
KMG_365 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi Nancy--welcome aboard! I'm still working on that info-email, but it might be late. I told you you'd find some great folks to help you out in JAX! Sounds like a fun party taking shape! Now we'll have to see who we can scare up in San Diego in the wee hours of the morning!

ltljohn Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I can't help other than to offer a little prayer for good weather and a safe trip. Best of luck!! Ride Safe!! Link to comment

Hello Kitty Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Yes, I think Calvin's offer to help in Neptune Beach is going to work nicely. About 8 AM. I'll call you on Saturday to figure out the details. thanks!!! Link to comment

Whip Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I hope she likes dogs....... Whip Link to comment
Calvin (no socks) Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Whip....I already made her aware of the abundance of dogs and she is anticipating all 7..... Jamie.... I got the catchers mitt for the return leg..... Link to comment
Rocket_Cowboy Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 You guys rock! I wish I had this kind of support when we did the 50CC then the 100CCC back in 2005/2006. I just hope she's able to pull herself out of the comfort of Whip and Louise's house to get back on the slab. Or that she doesn't end up doing the last 75CC/C on a Tuono. Link to comment
Matts_12GS Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Calvin, Keep me posted on the return catcher's mitt, I'll be glad to be part of the committee. Link to comment
KMG_365 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 You guys rock! I wish I had this kind of support when we did the 50CC then the 100CCC back in 2005/2006. We all tried to help you, but you don't write . . . you don't call . . . ! . . . and then you try and hide behind some lame-ass excuse of "never having heard of us here!" Such nonsense!!

dewtwo Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hello all, I plan to be back in JAX on Thursday, March 6th late morning to noon time. If any appropriate witnesses are available, GREAT! If not, I can hit the Fire Department or Police Station or Honda of Jacksonville. Also, if anyone might be willing to let me crash in their garage or living room floor Thursday morning if I'm exhausted, that would be most welcome as well! Well, we were landing in Jax this morning when you were taking off. Be happy to catch you on the flip side. I have my notary stamp all inked up ready to go! Be happy to assist in anyway I can. Of course, if you use my notary, you might have to miss the hubby. Someone has to stay with the boy genius. I would offer a place to crash, but others closer to the coast have offered a place to lay your head before heading back out. We are a few more miles off the beaten path. Be saying a little prayer and thinking of you out there! Link to comment
tallman Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 We met up w/ Miss Kitty at 10:30 in the rest area. Beth & Nancy That’s a big bike, she rides it like a pro. On the road again Thumbs up so far First official gas stop since leaving the Atlantic, in Defuniak Springs Beth and I head back and stopped for a bit. We found this rig. It seemed appropriate for a Miss Kitty tale. No comment. Well, it had Texas license plates. It’s been 4 hours, she should be rolling west toward Texas and the hospitality of Mr. & Mrs. Whip. Does she like dogs? Heck, she got a text message from her dog when we stopped. Go Miss Kitty, go. Link to comment
BreadMan Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Wow MissKitty, here you are being all hardcore and everything! Good luck and Godspeed! Link to comment
Huzband Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I would offer a place to crash, but others closer to the coast have offered a place to lay your head before heading back out. We are a few more miles off the beaten path. Yeah, Richard (BeneciaRT_GT) can attest to that. Just when he thought his 50CC was over, he found he had another 30 miles to ride before he could hit the sack. Link to comment
PRC Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Calvin, Keep me posted on the return catcher's mitt, I'll be glad to be part of the committee. Same here...I'll pick her up in Tally and take her the rest of the way...if possible! Link to comment

Whip Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I just talked to Nancy, she's 1 hour ahead of schedule(she may not have figured in the time change).......should give her some extra time to sleep. We'll have her inside the gate around 11pm CST. Whip Link to comment

Whip Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 ....and she's off.... It looks like snow west of Fort Stockton. Should be gone by the time she gets there. Link to comment
SteveHebert Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Nancy, Have a great time doing this and stay alert. Day three was the longest for me. Texas is a big ass state! Get through that and you are golden. Take the final stretch all the way to Jax and rest for an entire day once you get there. I made the mistake of stopping in P'cola for a 3 hour nap and really had to push to get finished. We are all waiting for your ride tale! Link to comment
RedHot Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Way to Go Nancy!!! We're all Behind You!!! Link to comment
kartracer Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Well Kitty, since you'll be reading this when it's all over, I hope it was a safe, wonderful adventure. We'll need a special BMWBMW RTE to hear all about it! MikeB. Link to comment

repo Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 thanks for the pictures and hosting our girl Whip. we're very proud of her! Link to comment
Sonar Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I just got a call from Nancy, she is in Ft Stockton, TX (about the only civilization between San Antonio and El Paso). She's making good time but is very cold with snow and sleet. The roads are still good but the high winds and cold are fatiguing. She reports that she got 5 solid hours of sleep and sounded good but maybe a little concerned with the weather. With 975 miles to go she is past halfway and still has 22 hours for this first leg, so she should have 5-7 hours of downtime before the clock starts for her return run. Forgot that I joined this forum a few years ago. Don Link to comment
daveinatlanta Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Glad to hear that she's making good progress. Thanks for the reports and the pictures. Link to comment
ericfoerster Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Much better weather the further west she goes 60's in AZ and no snow, but still breezy. Link to comment
