The Rally Rallye 2013 Style

Announcing the Rally Rallye

Rally ra-lê

Function: verb

1: a mass meeting intended to arouse group enthusiasm like CFO

2: also ral·lye [French rallye, from English 1rally] : a motorcycle competition using public roads and ordinary traffic rules with the object of gathering the most points in a specified amount of time over a route unknown to the participants until the start of the event

So it's a Rallye at a Rally hence the name The Rally Rallye.

A rally format is perfect for exploring the area all around La Crosse. The region is so saturated with great roads its hardly necessary to put together a planned route. Ive run several rallies in this area and always found it to be great fun to just let the GPS take me from point to point taking what ever roads it throws at me.

My intent is to make this as fun as possible, while introducing you to the twisted sport of rallying in a format that will be good for the rally virgins. That doesnt mean I will be easy on you! To the contrary I intend to be very strict at the scoring table very much in the Team Strange tradition. You learn from your mistakes not from me going easy on you.

The Rallye will be on Friday and will be 8 hours long.

I will need a minimum of 10 riders entered or I will need to cancel the Rallye, don't make me do this again.

Entry fee will be $15 any moneys left over will be spent on food and drinks, not necessarily in that order.

Deadline for entries will be 9/1/2013

One signifagant change from previous RRs only the Novice class will receive their rally packs in advance. Those in the Expert class will get theirs Friday AM at the riders meeting.

For someone who has never run a Rally (or Rallye, I'm not sure which one) or ridden in that part of the country, it sounds like a lot of fun. Count me in. Is there a prize for least amount of points collected or least productive routing?

To make it more fun for the rallye virgin the grand prize will go to the person who get closest to a secret number, so anyone could win. There will be some sort of recognition for those with the most points, that's where the moldy cheese comes in

Perhaps the moldy cheese should be given to

The vets for their consumption prior to the start

(for the sake of fairness)

... And amusement !!!

Thatsa some gouda cheese!

Now don't everyone rush to sign up all at once

I need 10 for this to happen if it doesn't that will make my job easier, not as much fun but easier

Register HERE.

I'll do my best not to disappoint :good:

We're finally off to a good start Linc and CraigRegs are signed up!

I'm off to NE Iowa to a bonus rich area I've recently located. Looking for more graves and caves :big_boss:

Yay! This will definitely be my first Rallye ever, looking forward to it! Kinda reminds me of geocachihg... on a bike! Hope we get the required 10 (or more) to make it a good run.

Turvy is back for more abuse and stevec677 is up for the challenge :good:

In the "Be careful what you wish for" vein: What are the chances of an IBR champ stepping in to show us how it's done?

Unless he changed his plans... not too good.

............but now there IS another top 10 IBR finisher that seems to be remaining silent (?)

I just registered. This will be my first time doing a Rallye. Looks like a lot of fun.

Man this Silver Ranger guy is all in :good: First ever rally and he's signed up for the RR too.

That makes just 5 signed up for the Rally Rallye, we need 10 :big_boss:

Don't make me do all the work at the last minute. Sign up now :drinks:

How come no one has mentioned the date of the RR

Hmmm. Just now looked at the calendar. Interesting. Will have to remember my lucky rabbits foot and penny.
