2014 Grand Tour Theme

[Shooter]

I was joking about double points. It really isn't fair that someone might not get out during that time. And as I proved last year if you do have the time and ambition you can knock out a lot in a week!!!!! I don't think that has ever been the intent of this event. The spirit of The Grand Tour has always been to go out and explore places you probably wouldn't have went to the entire riding season.

So my .02 is I would like to see it kept simple and fun for everyone. I do think that a point per rider in the pic would encourage more group rides but do we really need points to call up a fellow rider and go GT'ing?

BTW lots of good theme ideas!!!!!

this is the "real" translation of those pics.

1. That is me showing Lapchik my disgust of not having a drink in my hand. We were waaaay behind schedule and I was thirsty!!!!! Shortly after that pic we outran the Minnesota Highway Patrol....lol true story

2. Okay that one I was flipping you off but only because you thought you would beat us there with your "short cut" that ended up being the gravel road from hell. Which was followed up shorty there after by another mere 10 mile gravel road trip with Farmer, Blinky, Haley, and you. just a little dusty

3. And the last one was It's windy, cold, off and on rain, and a long way from Hudson, WI so hurry with your pic cause my camera is already put away!!!!!

I know you like to ride alone most of the time but you have to admit riding with me makes for some pretty good stories.....
