Did anyone go to Gay? I grew up right near there (Calumet, MI), been to the gay bar many times.

1/2-Million Mile Beemer update (from Bob Wooldridge)
I just talked with Joel Rappaport. He is doing fine and in good spirits. Hehad a good sleep last nite, and is taking a nice long rest bonus tonite.
He's in Idaho east of Twin Falls, and the old airhead just turned 521,000
miles, the BMW that is
looking for some more boni to move up a few notches.
He figures he can do another day and a half, no problem. He expects to get
into Spokane around 1-2:00 am Friday.

I know Ignacio went to Gay, Michigan.
I'm pretty sure a lot of riders did... it was mega-points, IIRC.

Nice to see a confident guy. Many around these parts would never admit to that.

Wow, these folks are really spread out .....at some point we'll see them all start heading for the finish ...but it doesn't seem it's quite happening, at least not for the guyz and galz out west.

Cross posting this from LDRiders list From Bob Wooldridge IRB rider coordinator.
Wendy has a rear tire off the bead and looking bad east of Saskatoon on Hwy 16 in Plunkett (Intersection with highway 356). She has a tow truck on the way but needs a place to work on the tire or secure a new one. Pro line Sports in Saskatoon is a dealer but they closed a short while ago. Anyone who can help her out with securing a rear tire for an FJR tonite or first thing in the morning please call me ASAP.

Just off the phone with SkooterG. The addiction to the forum exists even during the Iron Butt Rally. He asked me to update him on the the latest threads and post one for him.
He has successfully grabbed the three big bonuses around Gay and Thunder Bay and is currently headed west. He is feeling great. (Maybe one of those IBR highs?) He feels well rested and alert but plans on taking his rest bonus in a few hours. He ran into another rider who told him he looked like hell but he must not smell to bad...they served him at subway! :dribble:
He has an aggressive route back to Spokane. But he is in great spirits and feeling good about his third leg.
Oh and BeemerDon GET A CELL PHONE! He wants to cal you at 4 am.

Cross posting from LD Rider:
think we have Wendy's tire problem on the way to being resolved. She is on a tow truck headed for Saskatoon. The local Yamaha dealer has a tire set aside for her. They are closed but I managed to find a BMW rider in Saskatoon who knows the owner and he is tracking him down so he can get back to the shop to let Wendy in to do her tire change. She should be back on the road in a few hours if all works out. She does have to go back to Plunkett to re-start and she's not going to foget that.
I asked if maybe she was better off waiting until tomorrow morning to put the tire on. Her comment was: I've worked to damn hard to give up my standing, I need to ride TONITE!!!!!!! What a gal
Thanks to Merv, the Saskatoon BMW rider who is doing 150% to help get an FJR rider back on the road.

If "600" on this map in Colorado is riding a blue Goldwing, I believe that I saw him heading west on US hwy 40 entering Hot Sulphur Springs as I was heading the other direction. The Goldwing that passed me had a aux tank on the back of the bike. I was working and got a radar lock on him and he was going the speed limit. Thought about stoping him anyway and telling him good luck, but did not want to give him a heart attack.
