2017 Grand Tour - sks700 - 02-08-2017 12:14 AM

When will the 2017 Grand Tour be announced? I had a ball doing the 2016 version and I will very likely do the 2017 either here or Teamstrange. Waiting to decide to see what you fine folks come up with.

Thanks,

Lee

Yes, will be very soon. Verifying Ridemaster is working for signup & tweaking the bonus list a bit.

RE: 2017 Grand Tour - MikeH - 03-07-2017 11:00 AM

Ridemaster page is up and registration is open.
Website and specific locations will be released soon.

Here are general locations:

1. Peter Behm memorial Taste Krap - State and National Parks – can be one of each or two state/national – combined total of 2 points per state.

2. Schools – any college, university, high, elementary, etc.

3. Fire Department

4. Dinosaur – statue, mural, or sign of a dinosaur

5. Train Station – must have the word(s) station, depot, or terminal.

6. Motorcycle Shop - must be general shop that works on motorcycles, not a big dealership

7. Diner or Drive-In - must have Diner or Drive-In in the name

Riders can collect one general location per state (2 parks and one of each of the others).
Each General location can be used only once per state.

Peter Behm memorial Taste Krap - State and National Parks – can be one of each or two state/national – combined total of 2 points per state.

Under National Parks does this cover National Memorials, Battlefields, Seashores, etc under the definition of the National Parks for the IBA. Under this definition there are 417 sites not including affiliated sites

Or

Is it truly only National Parks like Acadia National Park in Maine , but not Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site in New Hampshire.

Just wondering.

Like the categories, can't wait to see the specific ones.

Specific locations are now posted

RE: 2017 Grand Tour - myconnie650 - 03-09-2017 10:30 PM

So many places to go, so many things to see...

RE: 2017 Grand Tour - gonzomup - 03-10-2017 07:10 PM

Stupid question about t-shirt sizes. Are they like last year's Harvest Rally shirts (where a medium fits more like a medium) or are they like last year's Bonzai shirts (where a medium fits me a bit like a dress)?

...very important question, I know...

Bohdan

RE: 2017 Grand Tour - Lapchik - 03-10-2017 08:47 PM

There are about 15 locations I can get that are less than 10 miles from my house [good ones to take the daughter to] so I thought I would also do a big ride. The question now is...do I add another 100 miles and do a saddlesore? And on the CRF250L!

I'm curious as well and agree on preferring the sizing of the Harvest Rally shirts.
It depends on where the shirts are sourced from.

If anyone wants a KML file with all the 2017 GT specific locations, send me a message or email me at the_westfalls@hotmail.com. I'll send you what I have.

This is going to be fun. Was looking for a Sinclair Dinosaur when we ran across these two.
