The Cross Country Chase is ON!!!

[renchinrider]

Hi, Everyone!

Your resident vintage bike enthusiast is surfacing momentarily to ensure you're able to follow this year's exciting antique motorcycle run--the Cross Country Chase!  The chase is a spin-off of the Motorcycle Cannonball, designed by Cannonball owner Jason Sims. It is conducted in a manner very similar to both the Motorcycle Cannonball and The Great Race.

This inaugural run started in Saul Ste-Marie, MI on Sep 6, and will conclude in Key West on Sep 13.  They spent last night (Sep 10) in Chattanooga, TN.

The run was open to 100 riders.  Of the 100 who entered, 69 started, and 65 are still running.  In 34th place, and with a perfect mileage score is Huntsville, AL resident Erik Bahl (Motorcycle Cannonball competitor #63).

Here are links, both to the Cross Country Chase website, as well as to Erik's own daily blog and trip tracker.  Enjoy!
