This is short notice, I understand. But I wanted to list the stops for my ride to Hattiesburg, MS in case anyone along the way wants to hook up, which would be fantastic! Here's the plan:

Tuesday, July 13 - We leave the Metrodome in Minneapolis and cruise down to Quincy, IL to spend Tuesday night.
Wednesday, July 14 - Leave Quincy and ride to the next stop, which is Nashville, TN. I hear there is a bike night on Beale Street on Wed nights, so I plan to be there for that.
Thursday, July 15 - Fight off hang over and head out for Hattiesburg. Deliver thank you card to FaVre 4 Hope Foundation office if we get there in time. Otherwise first thing Friday morning. Talk to some local folks to get any FaVre intel we can.
Friday, July 16 - Checking out Oak Grove HS field to see if "practice" is in session. Spending part of the day in Kiln, MS. Meeting with a Facebook friend there, at the Broke Spoke.
Saturday, July 17 - Probably heading out this day, would like to see the Gulf of Mexico sometime before we leave. Might do that in the morning. Staying in Memphis again this night.
Sunday, July 18 - Ride as far as we can, and spend the night where we end up.
Monday, July 19 - Hopefully be home by day's end so we can all get back to work Tuesday.

You get an idea of the route. If you are inline, and would like to hook up for a meal or a beer, i'd love to hear from you. Best start workin' on my southern talk, I reckon. :lol:

Peace!

Todd sounds like fun.....if you stop in Nashville on the 14th and party on Beale street you are gonna have a hell of a ride back to the hotel or campground. Beale Street is in Memphis and I have been there on bike night.......it is a big one and a blast. I am just glad I didn't have to go back to Nashville when I was done, and I am sober.

Have a great ride, be safe and get Brett to autograph that scooter of yours.

Great to see you and meet your friends last night.
I think you are probably FaVre's letter one fan.

Have a safe trip home.
