Erik and the "Cannonbahl"

[Vance]

Erik and John Zibell have set off for Daytona to begin this historic ride! Erik had some issues and it came down to the wire but everything is loaded and they are headed for the starting line! Erik has a Spot with him so you can follow him along the route and check on his progress by visiting his website www.cannonbahl.com . As a reminder the ride will come through Chattanooga this Saturday evening and will be stopping at the Coker Tire Museum downtown Chattanooga! I understand this event is opened to the public and bikes should start arriving around 4PM local time. This would be a great opportunity to stop by and cheer for our team!

Congratulations to Erik for getting everything to this point and thanks to John for helping out and driving the support truck! Good luck Erik, may you have a safe, enjoyable and complete ride across the country!!

1317 Chestnut Street. Looks like a small parking lot from google earth. Might be easier to find a place to park a bike than a car. But it looks easy to get to from the highway.

Hi All. John and I plus my Chief Mechanic Zeke will arrive in Daytona this evening. It has been a bumpy ride so far and the real fun has yet to begin! At this point I consider leaving the starting line success. A slight correction on Chattanooga. We actually arrive on Sunday the 7th.

Thanks to club for its support in this endeavor.

Hey Eric, congrats. I will be following you on SPOT. Do you have a map up of your intended route so I may be able to intercept. I will be riding and don't know where I'm going but I may be close. Ride safe and have a great ride. Cheers, my friend.
