Anyone here in touch with Randy? Love to see someone from NY swing over and grab it, and head West. Anyone?

Bummer.

Anyone here in Northern NY? Can anyone ring up the MGNOC VT Rep and report back(?):

Rich Todd
303 Hier Road
West Rutland, Vermont 05777
ph. (802) 438-2175

I still haven't heard from almost all of the reps on numerous e-mails.

The baton will have been on the East Coast for 30 days this Friday. Time to take it west. We have less then two months to have it make it's rounds. Let's be sure to get it to the Northwest this year, and perhaps the SoCal guys can get it again to take it through Death Valley to cross the "lowest point in the U.S." off the list.

 

[jgood]

Can any one get it to the Albany, NY , Glen Falls NY,or Saratoga Springs, NY areas ??? I could pick it up Friday or Saturday and take it West through Syracuse, Rochester , Buffalo, NY and then to Erie, PA.

 

[GTM®]

I still haven't heard from Randy. Anyone here know his whereabouts or thoughts? Anyone able to ring him?

Love to see it move westward this weekend.

Post if you have any info.

 

[jgood]

I'm still available to take it from Eastern NY ( The Albany area) to Buffalo NY or Western PA, possibly Ohio . Keep in-touch.

This just in...!

From MGNOC NH Rep Randy Tefft:

I just got your message. I spoke with Joe Casey - the Western New York MGNOC rep. We talked about me taking the baton to him in Attica, NY this weekend. I'll speak to him tomorrow and let you know after that.
I did have a fun time on 'the hill'. I'll be putting on a different front tire for the next one (May 3rd). Hopefully, I can go 'straight' up the hill this time!

Randy

 

[jgood]

If possible keep me in the loop so I can help out. I'm available for the next week . We will need some one to take it on the next leg. If we can get it to Ohio is there someone willing?

 

[wistah_sean]

I just got back from the big easy. If the baton hasn't moved by Sunday, I can pick it up and run it anywhere to New York. Let me know.

 

[rtefft]

Well... I finally made it onto this forum. Yes I do have the baton and just spoke with NY MGNOC rep. Joe Casey. Having seen JGOOD's response of perhaps, meeting in the Syracuse NY area... that sounds fine. Meeting at the brew pub in Syracuse also sounds OK with me. I'm ready to leave now... or in about an hour. Soooo... I'll check back.

 

[rtefft]

I can ride out to the Albany, NY area too. I just saw JGOOD's response about ALBANY. I can have it out there in a couple of hours. Let me know... Randy

 

[jgood]

I'M confused. Is Joe going to meet for the exchange? Perhaps if I gave a Cell # It would be easier to do the exchange . Syracuse is 3 hrs from hear so if I could know by 1:00 it would save me using the night lights. Or I may be able to stay in Syracuse overnight. What ever... The # is 716-998-4765 I may have Joe's # . I'll check here in about an hour. someome call or answer at this form . Thanks

Randy's e-mail to my bro at Empire:

I'll be leaving Keene, NH at around 8:00am tomorrow (Sunday 04-26-09) and meeting with some other Moto Guzzi folks at the EMPIRE BREWING COMPANY at about 1:00pm. I'll be handing off the baton to one of the guys from New York (Buffalo area).

& JohnG

Joe Casey and I will meet Randy at the Empire Brew Co. Sunday at 1:00 PM tomorrow. Joe and I will take it back to western New York and Hopefully we can pass it on. We will be looking for someone to take it West. Will post info and pictures as soon as we can.

 

[YBFAST]

Rumor has it that a successful hand-off has been made from Randy T to John G at Empire Brewing in Syracuse. Look forward to the pics and words.

 

[guzzigarage]

yes another successful handoff. met your brother and the brewmaster. great hospitality and the brewmaster did a fine job with the blueberry wheat beer. the ride was great with j good. met up with frank pfalzer and also andy hill although they were not able to make the trip. the baton is in attica but will not be kept behind the walls for long. im eager to keep this moving. anyone in ohio willing to take a trip? joe casey western ny mgnoc rep

Thanks to all at the Empire Brew Company http://www.empirebrew.com - Todd's brother welcomed us with open arms and a tasty fare. Joe Casey , Randy Tefft, and I wrote in the log as we enjoyed a brief rest and great food and drink ( Micro Brew), the best! Randy put the hammer down and rode the farthest from NH to Central New York. Joe and I ,perhaps 175 miles one way. Joe will be looking for some one to pass it on to . Did Zoom Zoom want to take a shot ? It was suggested that phone connections work out better as some of us are not always at a keyboard. I'll try to attach some pics for all. Ride Safe .... JGood

correct web site for Empire http://www.empirebrew.com/

 

[jgood]

Thanks for the correction. Also, the "Baton" is now in Attica, NY (the Western Part of New York) having traveled from Randy's place in NH to Syracuse, NY ( the central Part of New York State). I'm sorry to admit I have had no luck with up dating the pictures and the map.

 

[GTM®]

John, got the pics and posted to Picasa (click pic below for the rest), as well as I updated the Google Map.

Love to see more pics guys, and Joe, send some words/pics for it's visit to Attica would be great! Keep it going guys!
