News from Tony on Thursday AM...
Yesterday they hit all of the big bonuses down south in the triple degree heat and humidity. After leaving New Orleans they stopped to re-group and re-evaluate their route and realized that they were not as well off on points as they thought. They realized that dropping the York, PA bonuses put them behind where they wanted to be in points at the end of the first leg (ends on Friday at 7 PM back in St. Louis). The majority of the bonuses left were daylight only or time windows and that was going to make it more difficult to get them.
At this point they were looking at where they could go at night to stage themselves for those bonuses. they have decided to do Memphis, head to southern IL, then zig through Missouri to Kansas and then back to St. Louis for the checkpoint.
It looks like a lot of zig zagging, but it was the best that they could come up with for the remainder of the leg.

Garret....your @ss wouldn't be able to take the Iron Butt. You don't have the genes, and you're much to delicate. :)
I don't know how Tony and my mother can do it, tho. I'm in the family, and there is NO way I would be able to handle it. I must not have the Iron Butt gene, either. We can just sit and watch in awe..... Keep ridin.....B
