+Afterburned Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Hi Everyone, this is just to let you all know we are planning a TB race from Jersey to New Jersey - if you want to enter please PM me and I will let you know where to post TB's (or just follow the links below).

Area: 45 Square miles Population: 100,000 Website: http://www.jersey.com New Jersey is one of the 50 states of the USA Area: 7,417 Square Miles Population: 8,708,000 Website: http://www.state.nj.us More details here: http://coord.info/GC2WZH0 And here: http://www.tb-run.com/show-race.php?run=JERSEY2NEWJERSEY PS Mods - I know this is a TB related topic but can you let this stay in the general forum for a few days? Cheers! Edited June 1, 2011 by Afterburned Quote Link to comment

Some people in the UK thought I should also post in the UK forum but thought this would cover everyone without reposting in all the regional forums. Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 In before the move... but to where is the question? UK forums? East Coast forums? Travel bug forums? Glad I'm not a moderator!! Quote Link to comment

It's like knowing that Washington D/C is the capitol of the US of A, you don't need a high-school degree to know that. Quote Link to comment

+Towcester Pirates Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 this could be done a few other ways too York to New York South Wales to New South Wales Hampsire to New Hampshire then you could drop the 'new' and go for; Birmingham, UK to Birmingham, Alabama, US Boston,Lincolnshire UK to Boston, US there are so many place names from the UK repeat across the globe (mainly the english speaking nations obviously) Quote Link to comment

It's like knowing that Washington D/C is the capitol of the US of A, you don't need a high-school degree to know that. Maybe for most of the USA it is common knowledge. But it would be like asking you if you know all the states in Germany, or even all the countries in the EU. Quote Link to comment

It's like knowing that Washington D/C is the capitol of the US of A, you don't need a high-school degree to know that. Do you know the capital of Jersey - the Island that is? I do, I do! Lovely town. Great cache by the hospital tunnels, a tad west. Maybe for most of the USA it is common knowledge. But it would be like asking you if you know all the states in Germany, or even all the countries in the EU. Ooh! Ooh! Mr. Kotter! We've been to all 16 Bundesländer! Pick me, pick me! (Not sure on all the EU countries, but I know we've cached most.) Back to the topic: this sounds like a great idea. I hope the race goes well. Quote Link to comment

+karinagw Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) I'd love to, but I don't currently have any TBs. Even I could get one from Amazon by tomorrow, I don't think I could get it to Jersey in time. Pity. But, I think I will go to Amazon and order something anyway. EDIT - sadly, there are no trackables I can get next day from Amazon, so even that hope has been dimmed. Good luck with the race. I look forward to watching it.
