Title: Need transport - midwest to upstate NY
Post by: tooclose racing on May 21, 2015, 03:45:08 PM
Need a bike moved from Illinois to upstate NY next couple of weeks if possible.  Some flexibility, but bottom line - is anybody Heading East?  Mr. Gary Ellis is completing a build for me, he's located in Ridge Farm IL (halfway between Springfield and Indianapolis).

I'd LOVE to race this bike at Unadilla on June 5th XC.

Thanks,

Bob Close

Hello POGGERS - some racing friends from Central Michigan have offered to bring my bike to Unadilla if I can get the bike to/near I-90 in eastern Indiana/western Ohio.  They will be traveling on Thursday of next week (June 4th).

So...looking for help from central IL (Ridge Farm, IL) up to I-90 near Toledo?

Thanks,

Close

Bob, I wish it was on Friday, as I work Thursday night, but if you want to spend $175 for me to take the night off & deliver it to the Toledo area, I'm game. Mike [email protected] PayPal, or cell 618-553-1346 Mike

Mike - that is a very generous proposition that I may be taking you up on.  I'll let you know ASAP.  

And thank you.  I'm confirming what time they pass thru the Toledo area (they get on 90 at Maumee, OH).  It could be relatively early in the day - on Thursday.  Is that a challenge?

No, I would take Wed night off in that case, but need to know ASAP. That would actually work best, as I could pick the bike up Wed. evening. It's a 6-1/2 hour drive for me plus loading a bike at Garys' on the way, plus an hour time change. Mike
