The Transition Ride is to get us from the Comfort Inn in
Dundee, Michigan where we will be staying Sunday, August 15 and Monday,
August 16 to the Best Western in Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan where we will
be staying Tuesday, August 17, Wednesday, August 18, an Thursday, August 19
and Friday, August 20. The banquet will be at the Best Western on Saturday,
August 21.
It very tempting to require you to enter Canada on this
route, after all the PRFH is held in conjunction with the Great White North
tour this year. However, we decided to make this a clean simple ride. The
balance of the ride will be difficult enough. The Transition Ride Route is 1009.3 miles as defined in the
directions below. Do you have to follow this exact route? No, but you are must
do at least 1000 miles and you must make the mandatory checkpoints which will be
used to validate your odometer. We will use Microsoft Streets and Trips to
validate that you have in fact done 1000 miles. If you take a short cut, you
need to clearly document it and recognize it could put you under 1000 miles and
invalidate your ride.
This route has two MANDATORY GAS STOPS. These stops mark the corners of this route We will use these stops as an odometer check.
Speedway #9377, 125 Darby Drive, Georgetown, Kentucky
Pilot #152, 14013 Memphis Blue Lick Road, Memphis, IN
The scheduled time to leave the Best Western is 6:00 a.m-7:00 a.m. Alan Leduc or Don Braziel will be available during that time to sign you out. However, you can leave anytime you wish.
There will be a register in the lobby if you want to leave early. Make sure that you sign out before you leave. You will need to record your odometer reading and time out.
If you want to leave after 7:00 a.m., make sure you advise Alan
or Don the night before so that we know you are starting late and don't start
hunting you down.
When you return, if Alan and Don are not in the lobby, make sure
that you sign-in on the register that will be in the lobby. Otherwise, we will
be calling your emergency contact wondering where you are.
You will be provided envelopes for your your receipts and riders
log each day. You are to turn in your witness forms (complete except for witness
information and Stop Log daily. There will be a locked drop box in the lobby in
the event that you cannot find Alan or Don.
Emergency numbers will be provided to you before the ride. They will also be listed on the register in the lobby. If you must abandon the ride for any reason, be sure to call the emergency numbers. Failure to do so could cause you to be banned from future MTF Events and since we are in close affiliation with the LD Community, other LD Events.
