If you are reading this, it is because you are going on this trip, considering going on this trip OR the draft committee is considering you for participation in this trip!
(OK, or maybe you are connected/related to someone going, and want to keep in the loop.)
If you look at the chart below, the trip is beginning to come together very nicely. We have LOTS of interest in joining the ride for one or more stages, and we have several tentative drivers.
This is most encouraging!
Here is what I want you to do, if you don't mind:
1. FEEDBACK: If you appear on the chart, let me know if what I have is correct or not.
2. Red folks: Like our President, we want to turn all red folks into blue folks (despite their political persuasions). If you are now red and can turn blue, please let me know.
3. No Shows: If you are not on the chart, but would like to be, PLEASE let me know, and whether you are red or blue right now.
4. OTHERS?: We still have room for a few more riders, and a driver maybe two, depending on how it all shakes out. Feel free to promote the trip.
