I'm betting you're fairly zoomed in on Centennial. Just because reported dots aren't within a hundred yards of the hotel doesn't mean they're moving. For example, the one 2/3 of the way to Denver may have reported there, but then arrived to the CP before their unit transmitted a new position...

From RallyMom at 4:12 p.m. MDT.

An important follow-up to this particular story. One of the hallmarks of the IBR is a the cadre of past finishers, aspiring compeitors, general motorcycle supporters, and even civilians eager to support the riders and rally. Case in point is Greg Barrett that provided exceptional service to a...

The Amarillo and Kearney ones appear to be moving and on the nail-biter for penalty points are not when you do divide the miles needed to get back by the number of hours left. The AZ one is one of those that one wonders if it's a battery gone out, not reporting for some other reason, or one...

Reverse engineer every detail in the computer and components that Yamaha fundamentally redesigned in the Gen 3 2013 bike and either customize or manufacture, install, and troubleshoot the necessary parts and code. or Buy a 2013 and, print a label "2012", and tack it on the nose. I'll let you...

From Greg B. on Facebook at 10:53 PDT: All handled. He is back on the road. More later.

Go to the very first post. These details are all there.

I want to circle back to this if it's OK? You know your stuff and I *think* I know my stuff too. But this one, barring somebody dredging up a statement quote from an actual event organizer, I've come to the increasing conclusion that there isn't a special IBR induced delay on the tracking...

Nice analysis. And a positive indicator the RM is rewarding the 'ride smarter, not harder' types.

Reading now. It's a nummy looking rally!

This different, but related issue takes me back to 2009 in the alternate scenario where I "lost" my flag and purposely didn't try and find it in the least. I thought I saw an advantage to using the alternate method where I included my face in the picture and didn't have to much around with the...

Looking at that backmarker still in Missouri: 150 miles in 2.5 hours...is back in the doable sub-BBG velocity. They may have made some time this afternoon!

Bingo! Also, combined with 2009 where packets were printed on red pages to discourage faxing and copying....but didn't succeed. Team(s) were setup to crunch numbers. Also, that was the first year bonus locations were provided on media and each rider was given a different digital...

It seems like our rally scribe affirms some of our mutual concerns: Day 2 rally report is up! And at the same time as we're watching stragglers flirt with immortality and potential call-outs by the scribe, I can't help but grin about the camaraderie happening at this moment in Kansas. That...

Doing a little calculator estimate on the trailing Indiana rider suggests to get to the CP before penalty is an super-extra-exuberant BBG pace versus a what was a moderate BBG pace last night when they were in New York. For that all important average speed needed to go UP about 10 mph is a tough...

So a 3.5 hour delta between the group photo and CP. Hmm, that makes some of the outliers playing different point games. Nice detail.

Very plausible. That was an option to riders when I rode last as well. However, I'm sure there's also a Rally Mom view we don't get to see that likely has all the ducklings listed....they made tracking worth a lot of points in the packets. ;)

I'm starting to look at those push-pins on the map, the checkpoint in Tulsa that penalty points start accruing in about 32 1/2 hours, and my first bit of math estimating distance and time for one of the outliers near Augusta, Maine. 1727 miles in 32.5 hours equals 53 mph. As a three time...

One hour into the rally and I count 7 different routes taken! Kudos Mr. Earls.

Updates on the reporting page include a report from yesterday and they've turned on tracking for the riders. Don't worry that a couple of dots don't appear exactly at the hotel. They'll presumably update once the rally starts/they turn back on their transmission mode. About 20 minutes...
