Wonder how many FJR's made the cut?

We'll know eventually. Some people on FB went nuts and announced their making the cut (in spite of the notice letter ALWAYS saying to be low-key until the Rally Mistress says it's okay).

I can’t tell you how many fjrs will make the cut, but I know that there will be one less fjr on the start line (me!) Can’t play if you didn’t apply and get drawn!
In my opinion, the low key of announcing whether you made it in is a recommendation, not necessarily a requirement. I understand there are a lot of disappointed folks out there that did not get drawn. Also, there seems to be many more people freely announcing it this time.

I seem to remember some people thinking remote-support-over-the-phone-by-teams-of people-with-lotsa-sleep-back-home was a good idea, too.

Make that two less. Gonna feel weird next year after having run 3 straight.

Some people have announced they made the cut, has anyone stated the start location of the rally yet ??

I don't ride in the rally myself, but the rally is one of my yearly rides for the last ten years, I just go to support and hang out with all the guys for the start of the rally, depending on where it is I try to get their for the final and the banquet too....

So I'm looking for the starting point, anyone have that information yet...

the start/finish is rumored to be in the NE somewhere. I don't think they have released the exact location yet.

Nope. Those riders can share if they have been or not, but organizers will only share details to the public when or if they want to. And they have not to date. I don't know details myself either and only remember a start-in-the-east rumor.

Monitor the IBA Forum for the first announcement.

Patiently waiting....

Patiently waiting. I was just telling Iggy a couple of days ago I'd like to build a NE vacation around the start finish.

Riders who are selected are specifically told NOT to share this info until after the IBA releases it publicly. There have been problems in past rallies when locations got released and lead to certain bonuses being blocked after crowds showed up.

Are you going to Jax in March? I have a list of rides that would be better with another rider. One of which is during the IBR to keep my mind of thinking about it.
