From another forum I visit....anybody in the PNW that has wondered about this competitive rally thing and doesn't want to go do an 11 day Iron Butt Rally or even a 24 hour event 3 states away.....this is the perfect taste. I rode this last year and had a great time, saw some new roads I had never been on, and tested a few of my rally routing skills. IMO, it's a perfect first try for a newbie. 7 hours and you'll cover about 300 miles.
I'm checking on the start time now, but think it was 8 a.m. last year. I think the entry was like a $30 donation and that's CHEAP when it comest to a rally. Typical outlay for a Utah 1088 is something more like $600 - $700 including hotel room.
And two rookies won the event! A guy on a Ducati Monster with 100 mile range and a guy who wandered by riding a Connie tied with him. Your truly with all his rally skills placed third.
And if there gets to be sufficient interest I'll be looking at having a BBQ at my place the night before for those that might want to make a weekend trip out of this.
