Thank you! It was a pleasure getting to know you and watch you overcome obstacle after obstacle like the champ you are! Look forward to having you back in 26!

Hi Paul, It's hard to say for sure just looking at the animation. But there was an alien in Palm Springs that I think is what you're seeing. That was visited by Billy Connacher and Alex Alpert. I think Billy went to Aztec first, so didn't have the rain issues. Alex went to Palm Springs first, so had lots of issues in Aztec! Hope that helps!

Hi Martin, did you want to attend the casual dinner the evening before the start? Riders may be serious and not super chatty, but it might be fun for you still. I'd have to see what the cost is, but happy to if you want!

Oh thanks. PT must be having wifi issues in the wilderness. I'll remind

Paul and I are trying to find them right now from the start. The others should be up there already in the dailynreport section

Tim, did you have anything stored in Cheyenne? We can very easily make arrangements to get it to you, just please let me know so we can organize!

I second that.

New crazy thing these Gen Z riders do. Don't worry about it. You're fine.

I don't want your feet in the same room as me if you didn't.

Oil change, cool. You're on your own with map updates at this point😀 Definitely better today than in Cheyenne, of course

@Paul Partin glad you found us!

Look forward to seeing you again!

@Martin Cover Marty - Paul sent an email out - I think it was on Sunday. Make sure you have it and speak up if you don't.

@Martin Cover hope you are paying attention to your email......

You'll be fine. We told them there would be folks bringing trailers and leaving. They said thy have a big lot. Of course, we will ask that you park in a designated area, we can point it out when you arrive.

Hi Steve. Welcome! See you again soon. Need to start thinking about what kind of prank I can pull on the rally master this time.

Great to hear from you and we look forward to seeing you soon!!! You created work for me now. I need to see if you're the farthest from the start.... There was a guy from down under inquiring when registration was open, but I can't recall if he registered or not....

Good stuff, Paul! Thanks for sharing that. For folks who are interested in a different carrier, please check with Paul Tong before actually purchasing it. His idea of comparable, might not be the same as yours 😁 We discussed it the other day after Tim's question and he was looking at the different policies and what exactly they cover. Bottom line, if something happens to you, we want to be sure you're going to be taken care of. The riders who have needed to use it have been eternally grateful to have it.

There is a discount code, it's Ironbutt. I'm not sure how much but something is better than nothing. Just male sure you read and carefully select your start date if you're going with one of the shorter duration policies. If you do a lot of LD stuff, might be a good thing to have. Folks that have needed it have been very glad to have it. Bill Shaw, who was heavily involved with the Iron butt mag, used it after wrecking in Europe. John Harrison used it when he and his sons were traveling together a few years back. Well, I guess his son used it.
