Well, I do know the points layout, and you pretty much nailed it. I'll be at the finish in SLC this Sunday. It's gonna be interesting to see how it all tallies up. Understatement of the year . . .

At this link, you'll find my writeup for the 2009 Cal24 Rally. It gives a pretty good overview of how a Rally works. Now imagine that multiplied by 10, and covering the entire country . . . You and me both. B)

Hell of a ride, my friend. Ya done good.

Like any seriously competitive endeavor, once you get the physical acts of riding and collecting bonii sorted, then it becomes a mental game. There's a lot of luck involved here to be sure, but you have to be truly prepared to take advantage when the luck swings your way. It doesn't always do...

WORD! was a blast. Who knew you could play Scrabble at 70+ mph? :D What'll it be this time, Dale? Clue? Chutes & Ladders? Parchesi? :D Sorry I can't make it out to Ely again to soak up the local nightlife. Actually, that's not it at all. I'm just trying to play fair and let the other...

Gotta catch me first. :D Matt rode a hell of a rally, and it was the fact that he kept catching me up at bonii that pushed me towards the longer, riskier route. It was a really close rally folks . . . Congrats to all the finishers, huge thanks to all the staff for working their butts off...

Nice ride report, Terry. Hey, how did you get inside the Rodeo Grounds? It was hard enough just finding that damn guy. And thanks for the pics of the rest of the Muffler Men. That was my original plan, if only Mark hadn't forced me up to Portland. ;) Now you know how I felt after the '07...

Oh I see, now it's "I could've kept up if I'd wanted to" is it? Um, OK, but I'm still keeping that tow rope handy, just in case. :D Seriously, it was a great ride and a lot of fun. Now we just need to find the time to explore some of those back roads north of Lake Isabella. But maybe we'll...

C'mon now Jerry, I think it was just the frustration of your FJR getting passed repeatedly by my GT. Something somewhere had to give . . . It was a great ride. Thanks for inviting me along. :) Now where is that ride report? :jerry:

Actually, the out-and-back legs were the best part. It meant that we got to ride all the really great roads twice, once in each direction. It also meant that we were constantly passing each other going up/down these roads, so we got a lot of rider contact. "Damn, there's Peter again. I was 10...

Nice ride report, Jerry. Glad the Feejer is still working out for you. BTW, Dayle and I were on that same stretch of I-10 heading into Phoenix on the 30th. Who knew? But our westbound trip was on the 1st. No IBR ride this weekend for us. :(

Now tell the truth, Jerry. You were just being sucked along in the GT vortex. :rolleyes: Heck, we even managed a CHP escort right into the checkpoint. :D Great report RenoJohn, and here's to George for putting on a fun, challenging, and most excellent rally. I can't wait to seee what he...

Well done, Warchild, and to Brian and Jan for making it possible. I'm glad to hear your planning worked out (mostly) as expected. That had to be half the battle, plus the sit here & twist that bits. :) My friends think I'm nuts for burning up a set of Storms in 3 weeks. I guess no matter how...

I'm in, if you don't mind selling a set to a GT rider. :unsure: Never thought I'd outride my PHIDs, but I sure needed more light on the 1088 this year. Or I could've slowed down some. Nah, more light it is. :D
