Time crunch is due to what I mentioned above shortest and quickest route to all 48 states and since people can sponsor me by day, mileage and sites visited as well as one time donation to complete the ride. For RAA future ride you can divert anyway you want and take as long as you want. I had to set criteria to be held against to make HR, legal and insurance requirements in order for work to sponsor me with time off and expenses.
I'm going along as his embedded media. Will make a blog post every day to keep folks updated as to what's going on as well as a spotwalla map to show where we are
Ok kids, the website has been updated. It is still something of a work in progress but the itenerary is there, the charities are listed and the donation links are active. One small change. Instead of a ride along I am now a sponsored rider raising money for the VFW. Dave is riding for Operation Homefront (US) and Help for Heroes (UK). You can find details at www.themototraveller.com
