[Lapchik]

12 riders signed up as of today

With the start of the Grand Tour just under a week away, will the "Rally Flag" be emailed out prior to the event ??

[Lapchik]

Yes, day before start.

[Lapchik]

14 riders signed up, but only 10 have finished the registration and entry fee on ride master. I just set emails to send from ride master for those registered.

[Lapchik]

Flags are being e-mailed out tonight.

[Lapchik]

Up to 19 entries. Don't forget to post pictures here and maybe get the photo tag while you are out riding!

I just signed up, and my father will be signing up soon.

I created a GPS file for all the populated places that start with a "GLMC", but had to do states individually due to the sheer number of locations. Over 50,000 locations in the US! The additional step of locating and appropriate scoring opportunity makes it a little tougher, but a good Map Recon of google street view usually gets things rolling.

If anyone is struggling with the directions I posted previously, let me know. I'll try to revive that "how-to" thread for this year's info.

Also - I'm planning a ride later this year for the Wheels Through Time Museum AND Barber. If anyone is interested, we'll be making a long weekend trip out of it, and leaving from Charlotte, NC - most likely in June or July.

[Lapchik]

I would love to go to WTT and Barber but I have neither the time nor funds this year. Next year things will be changing a lot for me, for the better, and I will need new locations to ride a new motorcycle to! Just have to pick which one I want the most. Tenere 700, new KLR650, Vstrom, Africa Twin....

(edit)
On second thoughts, I've answered my own question.

Move along now, nothing to see here.

[Lapchik]

In addition to the normal t-shirts and prizes, I thought I would print a couple trophies too.

[Lapchik]

Got them all printed. The gold one was a real pain and ended up taking 5 attempts to print.

[Lapchik]

Only one month left to go! Submit photos on or before September 30

6 turned in so far. Seems east coast was the place to be. Lots of train stations and 9/11 memorials.

I have completed my 2022 Grand Tour and have submitted my bonus photos to the Rally Master ( glmcgrandtour@gmail.com ) for his evaluation.

I have had a great deal of fun with this project, so a big "Thank You" to everyone involved.

Can you list the ones you received ??

Those trophies look fantastic.

I got yours, and I will post a full list tonight after I catch up on scoring.

[Lapchik]

Sent out an email through ridemaster over the weekend to all finishers. Del is the only one I have that has not been scored at this time.

[StarWolve]

My dad (#521) and I (#120) wrapped up our GT. I had 30 points, he ended up with 22. Thankfully, he did it before he developed a pinched nerve in his back, and he hasn't been able to ride in a few weeks. So I took out his brand new 2022 Street Glide Custom to get a few more points this week.

[Lapchik]

I got your files and I will get you two scored tonight.

A fun note from rider #202...

Photo #18 The last picture I will ever take from the HP Photosmart M307 camera I won from you guys in the 2009 Villians Tour. After it failed, I relied on my Samsung smartphone backup.
