Nice work on the map. Makes it a lot a fun to follow along! :clapping: I think the Ape Hangers should get a special "people's choice" bonus award of some kind. Maybe some Icy Hot® Products to apply after the ride? :huh:

A good start is Doug5551's 2008 Immersion here: 2008 LOE 1000, A NooB's Perspective (doug5551) Another Rider who has extensively documented his route into rallys is RenoJohn: RenoJohn's Ride Reports (renojohn) Also The Iron Butt Rally (reports by year) and 29 Tips & Techniques from IBR...

That would be nice. It's true Tim was not feeling up to the task early that morning... but he bounced back quickly and we did get a chance to take in a nice 150 mile ride to lunch and back together before helping us with the rider check-in... Wildcat Canyon Road, Old Julian Highway, Mesa Grande...

Mis-adventures make the adventure!! Great report Hal... I'm going to come back a re-read this one again... B)

It was a pleasure meeting you in January at White Stag and seeing you again in San Diego for the LowCal 250 in April. You keep it simple, you keep it about the ride. Look forward to many more of your miles!

Well this is not long distance by any stretch of the imagination... but the 8-hour rally does mimic the format of some of it's big brothers. For those who like to line their calendars up early, the LowCal 250 has set a date of Saturday, April 25, 2009. Though the daylight format is definitely...

Well done everyone!!

Bike pointing North. Me on the left facing the camera. Double Bird Salute. Three better: this is the bike Lisa and I shared the day with Tim on... it's been to Alaska... and yea, it's blocking the F'ing gate!! :P Cheers Tim! B)

Good read!! Might have to go over that one a few more times... ;)

A few years ago I worked up not only a four-corners ride, but a route that followed along the stateline of California as close as possible (exits the state on occasion). It was over 2600 miles. Probably a good 7-day ride to enjoy all the sites.

Lisa and I broke bread with Tim at Mother's Kitchen (Palomar Mountain) on the LowCal 250. Thanks for the support Tim. You remain one of the great gentleman riders. We'll miss you for the rest of our years.

Looking forward to more!! You knocked out quite a chunk of miles on this one!!! We're going to have to create a Hal 9000 Rally (annual composite of rallies to total 9000 miles) :clapping:

Nice find Doug! I got to check out the rig when he was setting it up. I'd need a more comfy saddle. :P

Because: "Change must come from within" Too funny! :P

Looks like it was a Phantastic Phree Phor All out there John! Great report as always. Even better in person was you making a rally memory by sharing your debacle at the nut house. It was fun to see the local novices battle it out with the seasoned aliens. There was much to be learned from each...

Yep. RenoJohn is the first. TwoWheelNut is the 2nd. I'm riding 2UP in the photo before TWN. I sent my incrementing photos for RenoJohn to post. I'm sure he'll be along in a day or two with another PG rated report... :lol:

I'll post the rest of the standings tomorrow, but I will say the Doug (everyone for that matter) made a great showing. In particular Doug finished just behind RenoJohn on this one and even turned 59,000 on his VFR before the final checkpoint! TWN did suffer a self-imposed DNS this time, but...

The supercomputer will be doing further analysis to rule out any route discrepancies all day tomorrow, but we have no reason at this time to believe these results will change. More scores, stats and thank-you's to follow shortly. Top five scores and efficiency stats: Overall High Score - Ed...

Welcome to San Diego John. It was good to see you. You're the first in as far as I know. That will cost you 158 points for attempting to scout the course... :unsure:
